Our approach
+IMPAC's Permit Receiver (Pre-recorded Webinar) training approach
IMPAC delivers this course in a way that keeps the focus on what permit receivers actually need to do before work starts, while work is underway, and when conditions change. Learners work through the permit system step by step, using practical examples to understand the checks, conversations, and decisions that matter on site.
The learning covers more than paperwork. It helps participants build confidence in reading permit conditions, confirming that required controls are in place, understanding the limits of the permit, and knowing when work should pause or not proceed. Examples drawn from high-risk work such as hot work, confined spaces, working at height, and excavation help connect the permit process back to real workplace risks.
Because this is a pre-recorded webinar, learners can move through the content at a steady pace and revisit key parts where needed. That makes it easier to absorb the details around communication, documentation, and control verification without rushing through the course.

Frequently asked questions
Permit Receiver training is suited to workers and contractors who receive and work under permits for high-risk tasks. It is especially relevant for people involved in activities such as hot work, confined space entry, working at height, and excavation, where permit conditions and control checks need to be understood before work begins.
Workers involved in permitted high-risk work need to be competent for the role they perform and understand how permit systems apply to their tasks. Organisations must ensure workers have the appropriate information, instruction, training, and supervision to work safely. Many sites and principal contractors also require workers to complete permit training before participating in permit-controlled activities.
Yes, learners need written and spoken English equivalent to NCEA Level 1 (Year 11) or an IELTS score of 5.5 or higher. It also helps if learners already understand basic risk assessment and their own site’s permit-to-work procedures.
Yes. This course is delivered online as a self-paced pre-recorded webinar through IMPAC’s LMS. Learners can complete the training at their own pace while covering permit systems, documentation requirements, communication responsibilities, and control verification.
The pre-recorded webinar takes approximately 1 day to complete, depending on the learner’s pace. Delivered online through IMPAC’s LMS, learners can complete the training at a time that suits them while covering core permit-to-work principles and assessment requirements.
Yes, this course includes one assessment. The assessment checks that learners understand permit receiver responsibilities, permit conditions, communication requirements, documentation, and the extra controls needed for higher-risk work.
This course covers NZQA Unit Standard 17588, which relates to applying for, accepting, and carrying out work under a permit system used to manage higher-risk workplace activities.
The course covers types of work permits, the roles involved in the permit system, preparatory requirements before a permit is received, and what must happen while work is underway and at the end of the work period. It also covers communication, documentation, and the additional controls needed for higher-risk activities where permit conditions must be properly understood and applied in practice.
IMPAC recommends refresher training at least every two years to help workers maintain confidence applying permit conditions, communication requirements, and control verification processes during high-risk work. Refresher training may also be needed where site requirements, procedures, or workplace risks change.
