Permit Issuing
Our Permit Issuers are experienced industrial technicians who understand the realities of high-risk environments. Each issuer is a trained and competent permit receiver first, giving them the insight to issue permits that are both safe and practical.
What is Permit Issuing?
Permit Issuing is a critical part of site safety, ensuring all work in high-risk or restricted areas is carried out under controlled and compliant conditions. Our team is qualified to Unit Standard 17590 and can issue site-specific permits to work. Each technician comes fully equipped with the required PPE and can use their own Job Safety Analysis and Assessment (JSAA) if needed. By outsourcing this task, you can ensure safe, compliant permit issuing without pulling your own people off other essential work.
Is Permit Issuing right for you?
Common applications in commercial and industrial settings include:
- Sites requiring formal permits for confined space entry, hot work, working at height or electrical work
- Factories or industrial sites without a dedicated permit issuer on staff
- Operations where internal staff are stretched and cannot reliably manage permit issuing
- Sites needing quick turnaround and reliable documentation for external contractors
- Shutdowns or turnarounds where increased permit traffic is a concern
What are the benefits of Permit Issuing?
- Experienced, highly commended and qualified team (Unit Standard 17590)
- Reduces the risk of rushed or incomplete permits
- Frees up your internal staff
- Full PPE and JSAA provided
