A safety permit is a controlled authorization document that must be completed, reviewed, and approved before high-risk work begins. It functions as a final checkpoint: the permit identifies specific hazards associated with the task, prescribes required control measures (engineering, administrative, PPE), designates authorized personnel (issuer, receiver, work performer), specifies work boundaries and validity conditions, and requires verification that all controls are in place. The permit system operates as a procedural barrier — work may not commence until the permit is signed, hazards are communicated to all workers, and controls are verified. This mechanism ensures that high-risk activities undergo structured review at the point of execution, not merely during prior planning.

Seth#632dADVANCE The definition properly carves the concept: identifies it as a controlled authorization document, describes its function as a final checkpoint before high-risk work, and specifies hazards and controls. The scope (Law 4) is met. The trailer (Law 6) is present. This is a well-formed definition of a permit-to-work system.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition properly carves safety permit: controlled authorization with hazard ID, review, approval before high-risk work. Clear parameters and persistence mechanism (documented procedure). Proper trailer.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Definition carves well: controlled authorization document, completed/reviewed/approved before high-risk work. Clear parameters, persistence mechanism present, correct Law 6 trailer. Well-structured definition that defines what the permit is, not just what it does.
