Hazard Analysis & Issue Work Permit Course

Course Description

This course covers the skills and knowledge required to issue work permits. It covers an understanding of the permit system and the limitations of each permit, and making decisions regarding the need for and correct use of each permit.

This unit includes the issue of any and all permits. Permits are called ‘clearances’ by some organisations.
