At PARCOR, we are experienced in designing and implementing effective Permit to Work (PTW) systems that enhance workplace safety and ensure compliance with Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) and Work Health and Safety (WHS) Regulations. A well-structured PTW system controls high-risk activities by providing a formal process for authorisation, communication, and execution, helping to prevent incidents and maintain a safe working environment.

Our PTW systems are fully compliant with relevant OHS/WHS legislative requirements, industry standards, and best practices. We recognise that introducing or updating a Permit to Work system is a significant organisational change. That’s why we take a structured change management approach, ensuring a smooth transition by engaging with your workforce, addressing concerns, and building ownership of the system at all levels.

By collaborating closely with your organisation’s leadership team and frontline workers, we develop tailored systems that align with your operational needs while meeting regulatory obligations and supporting a positive safety culture.

What’s Included?

• We work with your team to identify high-risk tasks that require permits, such as confined space entry, hot work, working at heights, electrical isolation, and hazardous substances management, in line with OHS/WHS Regulations.
• A full review of your existing safety management systems to ensure the PTW system integrates smoothly and strengthens legal compliance and safety controls.
• Development of clear, user-friendly permit templates and workflows that meet compliance requirements and are practical for daily use.
• Structured change management support to guide your organisation through the transition, ensuring staff engagement, minimising resistance, and encouraging adoption.
• Training and support for staff at all levels to ensure understanding and correct application of the PTW system, emphasising compliance with OHS/WHS obligations.
• Provision of editable and PDF versions of all permit forms, procedures, and supporting documents, designed to meet regulatory standards.

How Does It Happen?

1. After approval, we’ll meet with your leadership team and key stakeholders to understand your operations, existing safety systems, and high-risk activities, ensuring alignment with OHS/WHS legislative requirements.
2. We will assess the tasks and processes that require permits and identify any gaps or improvements needed to meet compliance and safety obligations.
3. We’ll engage with your team to manage the change process, ensuring that employees understand the need for the new PTW system and feel supported throughout the transition.
4. We’ll design and draft a customised Permit to Work system, including procedures, workflows, and permit templates, ensuring alignment with OHS/WHS Regulations and industry best practices.
5. The draft system will be presented to your team for review and feedback, with adjustments made to ensure it is practical, effective, and compliant.
6. Once finalised, we’ll deliver the complete PTW system in editable and PDF formats and provide comprehensive training to your staff to support compliant and safe implementation.

By partnering with PARCOR, your organisation will have a Permit to Work system that effectively controls high-risk activities, ensures compliance with OHS/WHS Regulations, and fosters a culture of safety. Our structured change management approach ensures the system is adopted smoothly and sustainably, empowering your team to work safely and confidently.
