Permit To Work Issuer / Receiver Course

Completing this course will enable workers to carry out the permit process within the workplace. Paired with a knowledge base such as working at heights or confined space, permits to work are another safety screening system.

For anyone who hasn’t completed any permit issuer and receiver training we recommend this course to form a good foundation of knowledge.
