Introduction: Controlling Hazardous Work with a PTW System
A Permit to Work (PTW) is a foundational system used to authorize and rigorously control hazardous work activities. It’s the critical process that ensures high-risk tasks are carried out safely and efficiently.
PTWs are particularly common and necessary in industries with a high potential for accidents, including:
- Oil and gas
- Construction
- Manufacturing
- Among others
1. The Key Aspects of a Permit to Work System
Pulsar Fire & Safety’s training covers the breakdown of the essential components that make a PTW system effective:
- Risk Assessment: Evaluating the hazards before work begins.
- Safety Measures: Ensuring the correct controls and precautions are in place.
- Communication: Guaranteeing all parties are informed of the plan and risks.
- Authorization: Securing formal approval from the responsible authority to proceed.
- Documentation: Maintaining a record of the work, conditions, and sign-offs.
