Permit-to-work systems

No permit, no start: how to apply, check, issue, monitor and close a permit.

Key points

  • A permit is a signed check that every control is in place before high-risk work starts.
  • In Singapore factories, work at height with a fall of more than 3 m needs a permit-to-work.
  • Nobody enters a confined space without a valid entry permit posted at the entrance.
  • The person who applies for a permit should not be the one who assesses it.
