safety-permit

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.
