Permit to work at heights?

[George Elsmore]

Phil surely they mean a working at height risk assessment and method statement?

[Gavin MacMillan]

Never heard of it unless it’s on the high street or similar where the council want you to get a permit if you are using any access equipment?

This is what I thought also – but I haven’t yet replied back in case I’m missing something?

Dave – I did a google search and found the same thing?

so fill it out, sign it and stick it under their noses…remember that bullpoo baffles brains 😀

I’m with Dave.
Fill it in and get them to fill the top section in. They might not be as enthusiastic if they think they might share responsibility. Seems like a glorified risk assessment to me. I usually put a risk assessment together for the job and submit that with a copy of my liability insurance certificate. Usually does the job.

Could be a conspiracy tho’ Phil 😕

A lot of companies will issue a Working at Heights permit when working on their site.

They usually require a risk assessment, method statement, access equipment to be inspected and all relvant paperwork to be in place.

If using a scissor lift, an IPAF (or equivalent) licence will be required along with a valid Thorough Examination Certificate for the scissor lift.

Thanks for explanation Jason.
