Permit to Work Training Course, Hot Work & Confined Space Safety (Digital Download)

Give every supervisor, maintenance team and contractor a clear way to run permits to work. This Permit to Work Training Course gets you to what matters without wading through the guidance.

This HartfellCo training course covers permit-to-work systems for maintenance and non-routine jobs in Great Britain in plain English, and it is built around one rule: Make it safe. Keep it safe. Make it safe before the start (define it, isolate it, prove it). Keep it safe until the permit is closed (control it, hand it over, close it). It draws on HSE's published guidance on permits to work, safe isolation and confined spaces, and uses two real cases published by HSE, summarised in our own words, plus a 1992 case from HSE's guidance. Every worked example is invented and labelled. It is awareness-level training.

Plain English throughout. Fully editable, so you can add your own branding and deliver it as your own.
