Permit Issuer Online
A permit to work does not make work safe; the person issuing it does. When a Permit Issuer signs without verifying isolations, without checking atmospheric tests, or without spotting scope creep on the worksite, they are not authorising safe work; they are documenting the absence of it. And if something goes wrong, WorkSafe will want to see that a permit has been assessed and issued properly.
This online Permit Issuer course covers the full permit-to-work lifecycle. You will learn how to determine whether a task needs a permit, identify hazards and select the right controls, prepare the worksite, issue permits, monitor the work, suspend or revalidate permits when conditions change, audit permits, and close them out properly.
Optional modules (which can be turned off if not required) include specialist coverage scenarios: hot work, confined space entry, working at height, excavation, cranage and lifting, critical safety systems, and transfer of control.
The course is aligned to the optional Unit Standard 17590 (issue worksite specific work permits). However, this course does not award unit standards. It can be used for new permit issuers or as a refresher for existing permit issuers.
Who is this course for?
- Permit Issuers and senior site personnel responsible for authorising high-risk work
- Health and safety managers and PCBU duty-holders setting up or improving a permit to work system
- Existing issuers refreshing their knowledge
- Operations supervisors and project managers stepping into a permit issuing role
