Permit to Work (PTW) Professional

Module four treats these as the points where most systems quietly fail. After covering request and planning, assessment and issue, and execution under permit conditions, it works through suspension when conditions change, handover at shift change so the incoming issuer owns the permit knowingly, and extension rules that stop a permit outliving the assessment it was based on.

Module five separates the permit issuer and their accountability, the permit receiver and performing authority who carry out the work, and the area authorities and isolation authorities who control the location and the energy sources. It closes with the competence, authorization and training arrangements a site needs before anyone is allowed to hold one of those roles.

In three places. Module seven sets gas testing requirements for hot work alongside fire watch, screening and housekeeping. Module eight explains the atmospheric hazards of oxygen, toxicity and flammability inside a confined space and ties testing to entry controls, ventilation, attendants and rescue planning. Module thirteen then covers the instruments themselves: calibration and bump testing, interpreting LEL, oxygen and toxic readings, and continuous versus periodic monitoring.

Yes. Module nine starts with electrical hazards and the case for isolation, then covers dead working and the discipline of proving dead before touching a conductor, the strict controls under which live working may ever be permitted, and the use of electrical permits and limitation of access documents to define exactly what a worker may approach.

It shares module ten with excavation. Participants cover excavation hazards of collapse, buried services and access, the verification of underground and overhead services before digging, working-at-height hazards and fall prevention, and the specific permit controls for scaffolds, roofs and mobile elevating work platforms. The pairing reflects how often both arise on the same project.
