Despite great strides to improve workplace health and safety, an estimated 317 million non-fatal injuries and 321,000 fatal injuries occur annually in the workplace globally.
Using permits to work for high-risk jobs can help minimise the risk of injuries and accidents at work and help businesses comply with the law.
The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 requires business owners to provide adequate safe systems of work. It is part of their legal duty to ensure the health, safety and welfare of employees at work.
Although there are many safe work systems, the permit to work is designed to manage work activities where the risk factor is high. The consequences of failing to control these risks can result in severe injuries and accidents.
This online course on permit to work failures explores case studies where many workers lost their lives due to a deficiency in work systems. The course highlights common failures, such as the failure to follow these systems, and introduces several practical measures to promote an effective approach.
A permit to work system does not mean that a job is safe and that it can be undertaken without precaution. To be effective, workers need to know their role, be competent to carry it out, follow the system every time and remain vigilant. Anything less than this could cost lives.
