Ensure your workers have the right hot work permit like this example

Hot works come with obvious risks that personal protective equipment can address, but there are also subtle dangers that can be just as serious, and ignoring safety measures can have severe consequences for both companies and workers.

Potential hazards are always present, so having permits and procedures in place is important to preventing accidents. Permits also ensure that all necessary precautions are taken before starting any hot works.

Using a standardised template not only fast tracks your permits, it also helps keep your team safe and compliant. Make sure to include these key sections for any good hot works permit form:

  • Permit issue and expiry dates
  • Permit instructions
  • List of items that require isolation
  • List of equipment
  • Hot works permit checklist
  • Signoff fields for the worker/s to complete the permit

Alternatively, you can download our free hot works permit template to use and customise for your own permits.
