Course Overview
This course gives you the skills to issue work permits and manage the full permit-to-work process. You will learn how to assess the scope of work, identify hazards, confirm isolations and authorisations, communicate permit conditions, and close out permits safely when work is complete.
Before issuing a permit, you need to understand how to identify and analyse hazards. That is why this course includes MSMWHS201 as a prerequisite unit. Completing that unit first means you will have the foundation skills needed to apply hazard analysis in real permit situations.
