    This document outlines guidelines for permit to work (PTW) requirements and responsibilities. It states that a PTW is required for hazardous activities like hot work, confined space entry, and excavation. The main contractor is responsible for ensuring a PTW is issued and that a risk assessment has been conducted for the work. A PTW is only valid for the day it is issued but can be renewed if the work continues with the same workers in the same location. A PTW can be cancelled if work is being done unsafely and must not be reopened, requiring a new PTW. Upon work completion, the PTW must be closed once all work is finished and housekeeping is maintained.
