Permits to work are crucial tools in managing high-risk activities, but their value extends beyond just outlining your approach to safety. They also provide facilities managers with a vital opportunity to identify potential conflicts in work schedules and locations.
As highlighted in this recently reported incident by the HSE, (https://lnkd.in/e6brYa3a) where Balfour Beatty were fined £285,000 for poor management of works that resulted in a death of a worker, a well-designed permit system is an essential component of a Safe System of Work. It not only considers immediate risks and hazards but also helps prevent dangerous overlaps in activities.
How would your organisation cope if the outcome of a preventable incident, such as above, occurred under your management?
Is your permit to work system effectively flagging these potential conflicts? If not, it might be time to reassess your approach. At TAP-IN, we specialise in optimising permit systems to enhance workplace safety and efficiency.
