PTW (Permit to Work) in very simple terms is a document but not an ordinary paperwork. A PTW is usually applied for and raised/issued whenever a non-routine and high risk activity (activities) is to take place on site.  Depending on work location and company policy, what is deemed non routine and high risk in a company may be quite safe (not requiring a PTW) in another company.

Details of work to be done, place of work, tools to be used, all hazards involved in the operation with respect to: PEOPLE/WORKER, ENVIRONMENT, PLANT/MACHINERY and control measures for these hazards are some of the issues addressed in a PTW.

The PTW goes through levels of authorization before it is deemed valid and fit to be used.  The person responsible for the job to be done usually raises a request for a PTW after identifying all the details mentions above.  

Every PTW should have a distinct document number.  A PTW is usually approved for a specified period and may require daily validation depending on the duration of the job and company policy.

I hope i have cleared some of your doubts about PTW.

Work permit is one of the safety training an offshore or onshore worker must have. It is a permit issued out by a senior supervisor to the supervisor of a crew of workers ready to carry out a maintenance or repair in a plant or on an equipment. Must receive a permit before work is carry out.
