PTW (Permit to Work)

 A work permit:
 a written form used to
authorize jobs that
expose workers to
serious hazards.
 identifies the work to
be done, the hazards
involved, and the
necessary preparation
and precautions for
the job.

Checklist
 A checklist is a type of informational job aid used to reduce failure
to ensure consistency and completeness in carrying out a task.
 A basic example is the "to do list." A more advanced checklist
would be a schedule, which lays out tasks to be done according to
time of day or other factors (wikepedia)
 Safety Training
 Training is an integral part of Occupational Safety
& Health (OSH). To ensure the success of any
OSH program at the workplace, adequate and
effective training must be implemented for
all those responsible for OSH.
 Training enables managers, supervisors and
workers to understand the workings of safety
management systems and the legal compliance
required.
 They will then understand their own
responsibilities and the necessary actions to be
taken towards upgrading safety and health at
their respective workplaces.
 Safety Training
Information and advice for training may be obtained
from:

a) Supplier of the material, substance or equipment;

b) DOSH
c) Accredited Training Provider
d) Health Departments; professional bodies (for
example the National Institute of Occupational Safety
and Health -NIOSH)
