2 Purpose
 This document describes the permit to work (PTW) system used within the PEI M&Q facilities
and specifically:
o The function of the permits & certificates making up the system.
o The responsibilities of persons who write permits – the Issuing Authority.
o The qualifications and responsibilities of those that carry out work under a permit.
o To provide a procedure to qualify and or approve contractors for hire within PEI facilities.
o To ensure that approved contractors are adequately informed of hazards that may be
encountered while working at any of the PEI sites, and to specify the HSE, Security, and
Quality requirements.
 The PTW system will NOT normally be used to control the routine activities of Technical
Operations, Quality, Supply Chain, Quality Control Wetlab and normal engineering operations as
other formal measures such as Quality Risk Assessments, Standard Operating Procedures
(SOP’s) and other policies will be in place to establish safe operations.

3 Scope
This procedure applies to all Elanco personnel and external contractors working at PEI facilities.
