Permit To Work (PTW) is a formal communication system for risk identification, management & control, and communication. PTW systems are used in hazardous industries to request, review, authorize, document and most importantly deconflict tasks to be carried out by front line workers.
PTW is a core element in integrating safe industrial systems, including Risk Assessment and Isolation Planning. Integrated safety systems enable As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) reduction of unsafe activities in non-trivial work environments. PTW adherence is essential to achieve Process Safety Management.
Permit to Work is a module of Yokogawa's fully integrated Operations Management System.
