When you need this form
High-risk contractor work needs a permit before anyone starts: welding or grinding in an occupied building, roof and facade access, entry into pits, tanks and risers, and any isolation of live plant. The permit is where competency, controls and authorisation meet. Asset owners increasingly push this down onto the contractor base, and they audit it, because these four activities cause the incidents that stop a building.
Permits fail on the close-out, not the issue. A paper permit gets signed at 7am and never closed, so nobody can prove the hot work area was rechecked or the isolation removed. Digital permits carry the revalidation, the fire watch photo, the competency ticket and the close-out signature in one record, timestamped, and they cannot be quietly backdated.
What good looks like
- Permit type, exact work location and the validity window stated.
- Competency evidence attached: tickets, licences, current training for every worker.
- Controls listed against the hazard: fire watch, fall arrest, gas testing, isolation points.
- Authorisation by a named issuer, plus revalidation each time work resumes.
- Close-out signed with photos showing the area left safe.

Is this a PDF or Word template?
Neither. It is a live form: your crew opens it on their phones, ticks it through, attaches photos and signs on the glass. Every submission is timestamped, GPS-pinned and stored as proof.
What work needs a permit to work?
Typically hot work, working at heights, confined space entry and energy isolation. Site owners often extend permits to roof access, excavation and live electrical work. Check the client's own contractor rules before mobilising.
What should a permit to work include?
The task and location, the hazards and controls, competency evidence for each worker, gas or isolation test results where relevant, the issuer's authorisation, revalidation entries, and a signed close-out with photos.
