ESG Certification Training | Environmental Social Governance

Program Overview

Permit to Work (PTW) systems are one of the most powerful administrative safety controls available to organizations managing high-risk work activities. When properly designed and rigorously implemented, a PTW system ensures that every potentially dangerous task — from hot work and confined space entry to electrical isolation and working at height — is formally authorized, hazards are identified and controlled, the right personnel are informed, and work is conducted safely within defined boundaries.

ICLM's Permit to Work Procedures training (Course Code P1101) equips safety officers, operations managers, engineers, supervisors, maintenance personnel, and contractors across oil and gas, manufacturing, chemical processing, construction, power generation, and utilities industries with the knowledge and practical skills to design, implement, and audit effective PTW systems.
