What does a Permit to Work detail?

  1. The work involved and hazards present

  2. The qualifications of workers

  3. The equipment being used

  4. The financial cost of the work

The correct answer is: The work involved and hazards present

A Permit to Work serves as an essential document in managing safety for potentially hazardous work activities. It details the specific tasks to be performed, the associated hazards, and the control measures to mitigate those hazards. By identifying the work involved and the hazards present, it ensures that all parties are aware of the risks and the necessary precautions that need to be taken before the work commences. This thorough approach helps in ensuring that safety protocols are adhered to, thereby minimizing the risk of accidents or injuries in hazardous situations. Having this information clearly outlined in the Permit to Work is critical for maintaining a safe work environment.
