Getting to Know the Different Types of Work Permits ~ Akademi Asuransi

Not only hot working permits are important in fire insurance and property all risk insurance. Several permits are required for different types of industries. The permit is usually issued by the supervisor/supervisor/executor to the subcontractor/foreman or worker who will enter a hazardous area or carry out work that is considered dangerous.

Some of the existing work permits in an industry are as follows:

Hot work permit – Required when carrying out hot work, for example: welding, fire cutting, metal drilling, and sandblasting.
Cold work permit – Required if you are going to carry out work related to repair, maintenance, or construction work that is not routine (according to the terms of the job) and does not use equipment that can cause open flames or ignition sources. Examples include painting, building works, and civil works.
Confined space entry permit – Required when entering and carrying out work in confined spaces, such as silos, tanks, or closed drains.
Electrical work permit – Required when carrying out repairs, maintenance, or inspections related to electricity.
Special permit – Required when carrying out work involving hazardous conditions, such as working with exposure to radioactive materials, working at heights, digging, or carrying out work with a high level of potential danger.

The function is clear. Work permits are an effective tool to help identify and control hazards, prevent injuries, and avoid fatal accidents in the workplace. All workers should understand the requirements of a work permit and why a work permit is needed before starting a job.
