Work permit: the authorisation that frames an intervention
A work permit authorises a hazardous intervention once conditions have been checked. It names the operation, the people, the measures taken and the period of validity. It is formally closed at the end of the intervention, with a check that the area is restored.
Authorising after verification
The work permit is the document by which a manager authorises an operation carrying a particular risk: hot work, confined space entry, work at height, electrical work. It is issued after on-site verification, for a defined period, and is formally closed at the end of the intervention with a check that the area has been restored.

What the permit records
The Industrial Site Safety certificate places the candidate in the position of issuing a permit: checking the atmosphere, verifying lockout, validating equipment, setting the duration. The Industrial Maintenance and Energy programme covers it from the worker's side, with the checks made before starting.
Hot work
Welding, grinding, cutting: atmosphere checked, combustibles removed, watch maintained after work stops.
Confined space
Atmosphere measurement, ventilation, an attendant outside and extraction means ready before entry.
Work at height
Anchor points verified, harness checked, ground area cordoned and access secured throughout.
Electrical work
Lockout verified, absence of voltage confirmed, worker's authorisation checked and recorded.
