Our approach
+IMPAC's Permit Receiver Refresher (Pre-recorded Webinar) training approach
IMPAC delivers this Permit Receiver Refresher (Pre-recorded Webinar) as a practical reset for people who already work under permits and need to keep their judgement sharp. Rather than reteaching the topic in abstract terms, the webinar revisits the points where permit work can break down in real workplaces: confirming the scope of work, checking that controls are in place, understanding what the permit actually authorises, and recognising when conditions have changed.
Learners work back through the role of the permit receiver using clear examples tied to high-risk tasks such as hot work, confined space entry, working at height, and excavation. The focus stays on what needs to be checked, what needs to be communicated, what needs to be documented, and when work should pause instead of carrying on out of habit.
