Safe Work Permits

This course summarizes the various components of the Safe Work Permit process that should be used within a facility or organization for work being performed by construction and maintenance contractors and employees. The Safe Work Permit process is based around a written form and is a communication tool used to inform employees of safety requirements. Maintenance and construction type activities can then be coordinated with appropriate personnel within the facility to help avoid safety concerns and potential conflicts. The Safe Work Permit can be critical for the success of a site safety program and can be applied to a variety of facilities, including manufacturing facilities, construction sites, etc.
