What is Work Permit?
A written record that authorizes specific work, at a

specific location, for a specific period of time
An agreement between the issuer and the receiver,

which documents the conditions, preparations,
precautions and limitations before commencement of
work
To ensures that all foreseeable hazards have been

considered and that the appropriate precautions are
defined and carried out in the correct sequence.
What is work permit
• The work permit specifies the conditions and procedures for safe execution of the
work and allows the work to be carried out under controlled risk conditions.
• The basic purpose of the Work Permit System is to assign the responsibility of each
party for the safe execution of the work; i.e. prevent injuries to personnel, protect
property from damage, avoid fire/explosion and ensure that all work is carried out
in the safest possible manner.
• The work permit authorizes specific work to be carried out in work permit area and
serves as an official document of conditions and requirement as agreed upon
between issuing and executing authorities
• The conditions set out on the work permit are meant as general guidelines and shall
not be assumed to cover every condition or circumstance that may be present or
may arise during the course of the work. The permit in itself does not make the job
safe but shows to what extent the job has been made safe.
• Issuers, Executors and their superiors are responsible & accountable to ensure strict
compliance at all levels to all clauses of the work permit system and ensure proper
housekeeping before closing the permit.

Why use Work Permit System?
• Ensure Communication is smooth and clear between the parties involved
• Protect personnel from hazards and hazardous environments

– Eg. control of hazardous energy through lockout tagout
• Protect against mishaps that could have catastrophic secondary effects

– Eg. Ammonia Release
• Control special hazards

– Eg. Handling of Chemicals
• Prevent unauthorized impairment of safety systems

– Eg. Bypassing of safety interlocks, fire hydrant system impairment

• It addresses issues like
– Scope of the work
– Safety precautions to be taken
• Fire extinguishers, line depressurization, PPEs
– Proper communication
– Roles and responsibilities
• Permits help ensure that workers understand the hazards
– While opening a ammonia duct/pipeline ensure that the worker knows the
risk and has worn the necessary PPEs

• Permits also ensure that workers take appropriate actions to manage risk when
performing non-routine work activities.
• Work Permit System complements operating and maintenance procedures
• Permits are required for each non-routine job, and permits are to be issued or
extended at start of each shift
• Non-routine work increases risk and can make a catastrophic accident much
more likely.

Facts and Figures
62% of the investigations conducted by CSB point out flaws

in conduct of abnormal and non routine operations

Case Study- Piper Alpha

Piper Alpha
• Most disastrous Off-Shore Oil
