This Permit to Work inspection checklist supports safe work by verifying that permits are issued by authorized personnel, the permit receiver is present and supervising, and all required permits and JobSTART or SWMS documentation are available on site. It prompts checks on worker briefings, affected activities and adjacent environments, documented risk controls, and required isolations with locks and tags recorded. The checklist also confirms personnel competency, identification of the responsible person, and revalidation of permits across shifts or when crews change. Capture inspection team details and signatures.

Obtain Required Work Permit Checklist
This permit to work checklist helps ensure all requirements are in place before starting a task. It guides teams to clearly define the work area and task, complete a pre-task risk assessment, and attach required documents such as spade lists, vessel entry logs, and excavation certificates. It prompts identification of waste and disposal methods, verification of hot work restrictions and higher-level approvals, and confirmation that the permit is authorized, valid, and issued at the place of work. The checklist verifies remaining hazards, adequate and available PPE, any tool restrictions and additional precautions, and that all role players are authorized, competent, and trained on the permit to work procedure. It also covers sign-off upon completion, availability of the permit issuer, and noting any changes in conditions.
