📝 Permit to Work

Master the Permit-to-Work system end to end — its purpose and limits, which high-risk activities need a permit, the named roles and separation of duties, isolation and lock-out/tag-out, the full permit lifecycle, time validity and cross-referencing, and the golden rule: never work outside the permit.
