Permit to Work
The Permit to Work (PTW) system is a systematic written procedure used to list down and control certain types of high-risk work, similarly ensures it is carried out in a safe environment. Commonly applied in industries like construction, manufacturing, oil & gas, and utilities, the PTW system helps prevent accidents by clearly defining job hazards, required precautions, and responsibilities before the beginning of work. It is especially critical for activities such as hot work, confined space entry, electrical isolation, work at height, and excavation.
