safe.
• Safety can only be achieved by those preparing the work
and those carrying
out the work.
• Remember, Work Permits and Certificates do not remove
your individual responsibility.
• If you sign on, or work under, any Work Permit or Certificate,
it means that you are responsible.
• If you are unsure of any of this information or instructions
given to you or are in any doubt about the Permit to Work
System, stop work and ask your Supervisor.
