Permit Issuer

IMPAC’s permit issuer training is built around the decisions permit issuers need to make before high-risk work starts, while work is underway, and when the permit is closed out. Instead of treating the permit as a form-filling exercise, the course works through a practical scenario that shows what effective permit control looks like when hot work, confined space entry, work at height, or excavation is involved.

Learners work through how to confirm the job is ready to start, check that the right controls are in place, question gaps before authorising work, and close out permits properly once the work is complete. The training keeps the focus on clear authorisation decisions, active monitoring, communication between workgroups, and how permits support safer work across the wider permit-to-work system.

If you’re continuing your learning journey in health and safety, this course can contribute towards IMPAC’s Certificate in Applied Workplace Health and Safety Practices (Level 3), which leads to the New Zealand Certificate in Workplace Health and Safety Practice (Level 3).
