📝 Course Overview
This Permit to Work Training course provides delegates with a clear understanding of how to implement, manage, and work within a safe system of work using permits.
A “permit to work” system is a vital control measure for managing high-risk activities such as hot work, confined spaces, electrical maintenance, or working at height.
This half-day (4-hour) course helps ensure that tasks are properly assessed, planned, authorised, and monitored to reduce the risk of incidents.
Through a mix of tutor-led discussion and real-world examples, delegates learn how to issue, use, and close permits correctly in line with best practice and HSE guidance (HSG250).
🎯 Who is this course for?
This course is ideal for:
Supervisors, managers and team leaders responsible for authorising or overseeing high-risk work
Maintenance engineers, contractors, and site staff working under permits
Health & Safety or Facilities personnel involved in risk assessment and control
Anyone needing a better understanding of safe systems of work
