Permit to Work (PTW) is a formal written system used to control certain types of work that are potentially hazardous. PTW is a document which specifies the work to be done and the precautions to be taken. PTW form an essential part of Safe Systems of Work (SSOW) for many activities. They allow work to start only after safe procedures have been defined and they provide a clear record that all foreseeable hazards have been considered. A permit is needed when works can only be carried out if normal safeguards are dropped or when new hazards are introduced by the work.
