Is this the right Permit to Work?

Permit to Work at a glance

A permit to work is a site control record for a defined task, area, and validity period. This Tradie Forms template records the permit lifecycle. It is not a government form.

  • This is a Tradie Forms designed record, not a government-issued permit.
  • Use a specialised hot works or confined space permit when the task needs those controls.

What you need to know

Who has to complete the Permit to Work?
The person authorised to issue the work completes the permit with the worker or supervisor accepting the task.
When is it required?
Use it when your business, client, principal contractor, or site procedure requires formal authorisation before a controlled task starts.
Where does the completed form go?
Give the accepted permit to the worker or supervisor and keep the issued and closed copies with the job or site records.
Can I fill it on my phone?
Yes. Tradie Forms guides you through each section on mobile and exports the official PDF layout when you are ready to complete.
Will this PDF be accepted?
Tradie Forms exports onto the official PDF layout where supported. Always preview and check the completed PDF before sending, lodging, or handing it over. Tradie Forms does not lodge or certify the form for you.

Check the whole permit before work starts

Preview the PDF with the worker, confirm the validity window and controls, then capture both signatures.

  • Eight practical pre-work controls
  • Hazards continue onto extra pages when needed
  • Separate issue and close-out downloads

A photocopied permit is easy to issue and easy to lose

The weak spot is usually the lifecycle: no clear validity window, no proof of acceptance, or no close-out after the task.

  • The permit is still a Word file from years ago

    Fill the task, site, controls, and signatures on site without hunting for the latest blank copy.

  • Nobody can show who accepted the work

    Keep the issuer and worker names, dates, and signatures together on the permit.

  • The job finishes but the permit stays open

    Reopen the saved draft, record completion or cancellation, then download the closed copy.

What gets checked before export

Tradie Forms checks these requirements against the Tradie Forms template before the PDF is ready to complete.

Work and test details

The technical details that prove what was completed or checked.

Business, site, work description, and the full validity window are required.

Declaration and sign-off

Signatures, declarations, authorised people, and review steps.

Issued-by and accepted-by names, dates, and signatures are required before download.

Final export review

Anything else that should be checked before downloading the PDF.

Every control must be answered, with the three critical controls confirmed Yes.
Every added hazard needs a matching control.
Close-out stays optional at issue and becomes complete when a status is selected.

Frequently asked questions

No. It is a Tradie Forms designed permit record based on common site practice. Check your client and site requirements before use.

No. A permit authorises a defined task for a set period. A SWMS or JSA identifies the work steps, hazards, and controls. A job may need both.

Use the Hot Works Permit for welding, cutting, grinding, brazing, soldering, or open-flame work that needs fire controls and a fire watch record.

The first copy is issued before work starts. Save the draft, reopen it when the task ends, complete the close-out, and download the final copy.

No. You fill and download the finished PDF here, then submit or hand it over the way the job, customer, or regulator requires.

Yes after you upgrade. Save once and apply them on the next form so you are not retyping the same block every time.

Issue the work with a permit you can close

Open the form, confirm the controls with the worker, and keep the full permit lifecycle in writing.
