Permit systems
Permit systems allow only competent persons trained in the use of relevant control measures
to work in an area where there is a hazard. Examples include:
- tagging all access points to a scaffold to restrict unauthorised access during erection
and dismantling, with ‘only licensed scaffolders permitted on an incomplete scaffold’ - requiring permits for access to areas where travel restraint systems or fall-arrest systems are
to be used.
