Permit to Work System
The University of Newcastle 'Permit to Work' (PTW) system must be used when any high risk work is carried out including, but not limited to, any work in a confined space, demolition, excavation, hot works, entry to a substation, penetration, isolation, working at heights, asbestos and tree trimming, pruning or removal
The PTW system is a structured process designed to control the risks applicable to specific activities of employees and contractors on all University-controlled sites, or when a site controlled by another entity has the ability to impact on The University's core business, for example excavating near underground high voltage cabling or gas mains.
Permit to Work Guide - this provides an overview of the system and contractors should become familiar with its contents prior to use of the PTW system.
Permit to Work Flow Chart - outlines the processes in the PTW system.
The Permit to Work application process is now in the University Beakon Contractor Management System. Your Company and Company employees will need to be registered in the system to login and complete permits
