Permit To Work

Regulations in all countries require all companies and their workers to create and have a Permit To Work (PTW). Specifically, PTW is a formal document used in various industries whose operations are potentially dangerous.

The reasons why workers need PTW:

- Their safety is always maintained

- Accidents and injuries can be prevented from occurring

- Any work, especially high-risk work, can be done safely

- Hazards and risks can be identified and controlled before work begins

PTW is a written permit that specifies:

- High-risk work and safe work

- The safe work that is allowed to be carried out

- Day and time to do the work

- Qualifications of workers permitted to do the work. These workers must have taken the appropriate training and knowledge to perform their duties safely.

- Safety procedures that must be followed

- Dangers and risks

- Safety checks that should be done before the work starts

- Ways to identify and control hazards

- Safety measures that must be taken so that the work can be carried out safely

- Safety and control measures that must be taken so that accidents can be avoided and handled

- Communication and instructions that must be carried out by everyone involved in the work: Workers, Supervisors and others

- Supervision must be exercised to ensure that only authorized personnel are involved and that all necessary precautions are taken

When the workers sign the PTW, they show that they understand the risks involved and what precautions are necessary.

Several things that happen if workers do not have PTW:

- Accidents and injuries will definitely happen

- Legal Issues: Work will be stopped by the authorities and the authorities will issue a fine to the company

- Employment Relation Issues: The company can give warnings to the workers, and can even terminate employment

- Financial Issues: If accidents and injuries occur, the insurance process will become difficult to carry out

The essence of PTW is Protection for all parties, both companies and workers!
