Safety Work Permit Template
This safety work permit template helps you control high risk work by formalizing request, review, and authorization. It guides supervisors and permit authorities through documenting the work activity, identifying high risk tasks such as hot work, confined space, excavation, plant isolation, work at heights, and live electrical work, and confirming risk assessments and controls are in place. Capture names, dates, approvals, and signatures, register the permit, and communicate scope and supervision requirements. Use it to verify controls before start of work, monitor hazards during the job, and close out with final sign off.
