Permits
Work at height permits
The access, and the people cleared to use it.
On the file
The access, why that one was chosen, and who is cleared to use it.
Duty
Work at Height Regulations 2005
Where it is used
At the access, before the work starts.
What it does
- Scaffold, MEWP, or other. Why that one.
- Who is cleared, and the kit they need.
- Tied to the working-at-height assessment for the same task.
On the file
- Scaffold, MEWP, or other access
- Why that access
- Who is cleared
- The kit they need
- That the scaffold inspection is in date
Why digital
Against a paper file, a spreadsheet, or a folder in the cabin.
- Clearance comes from the training record, not a verbal.
- The scaffold inspection has to be in date before the permit goes live.
The duty
UK law. We name it. We do not invent a badge.
Work at Height Regulations 2005
The right access, used by people who are competent.
Who uses it
The supervisor issuing it. Clearance is read from the training record.
Sits with
The working-at-height assessment, and the scaffold or MEWP inspection.
What good looks like
It does not go live if the inspection is out of date, or the person is not cleared.
