About this Course
Course Description:
This course covers the skills and knowledge required to issue work permits. It covers an understanding of the permit system and the limitations of each permit, and making decisions regarding the need for and correct use of each permit. This unit includes the issue of any and all permits. Permits are called ‘clearances’ by some organisations.
This unit of competency applies to personnel who are required to issue appropriate permits to work to persons conducting a variety of activities in workplace environments in which hazards exist or specific procedures need to be followed and monitored to protect the safety of personnel and the integrity of plant or process. This can apply to an individual working alone or as part of a team or group and working in liaison with other shift team members and the control room operator, as appropriate.

- is or is likely to be a risk to health and safety from an atmosphere that does not have a safe oxygen level
