Permit to Work (PTW) — Toolbox Talk
Free download · A5 landscape (210 × 148mm)
Permit to Work (PTW) procedures are the last line of defence against electrical fatalities. This A5 toolbox talk card provides a structured 5-minute safety briefing covering the 5 stages of a valid PTW (Request → Approve → Isolate → Issue → Return), LOTO essentials (personal lock, hasp, danger tag), the 'never work on live' rule with exception approval requirements, and competency requirements for PTW issuers and receivers. The reverse provides discussion questions to engage the crew and an attendance record with signature lines for compliance documentation.
