How to fill it out and keep it. Open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader (free) or a desktop browser like Chrome or Edge, then use that program's own Save or Download button, not just closing the tab, so your entries are kept in the saved copy. On a phone, most PDF apps will let you view the form but not type into it - fill it out on a computer, or print it and use a pen.

Why crews use it
- Cold Work and Hot Work are both covered on the same permit, so one form handles either job type without picking the wrong template
- 35 hazard and equipment checkboxes turn 'we checked the site' into a specific, itemized record of exactly what was verified
- A Permissible Exposure Limits table with real time columns gives atmospheric testing an auditable record, not just a pass/fail note
- The issue-to-completion sign-off trail - issuer, receiver, sign off, and a final Work Completed check - closes the loop on every permit issued
Built for
- Supervisors issuing permits for hot work (welding, cutting, grinding) or cold work outside confined spaces
- Companies needing atmospheric testing documented alongside the permit itself, not on a separate sheet
- COR/SECOR audit evidence of a functioning permit-to-work system with full issuer/receiver accountability
Why it matters
A work permit that's issued verbally or scratched on a sticky note leaves no record of what hazards were checked, what equipment was on site, or who signed off before work started - and if something goes wrong, there's nothing to show due diligence was done. A permit that documents hazards, equipment, atmospheric limits, and a full sign-off chain is what turns 'we always do a safety check' into evidence an auditor - or an investigator - can actually see.

Common questions
Before you buy
What people ask us about the Safe Work Permit (not for Confined Space).
What is the Safe Work Permit (not for Confined Space) used for?
A Safe Work Permit that covers cold work and hot work outside confined spaces - hazard identification, safety equipment on hand, atmospheric testing limits, emergency contacts, and a full issue-to-completion sign-off trail - delivered as a real 90-field fillable PDF. Who uses it: Supervisors issuing permits for hot work (welding, cutting, grinding) or cold work outside confined spaces; Companies needing atmospheric testing documented alongside the permit itself, not on a separate sheet; COR/SECOR audit evidence of a functioning permit-to-work system with full issuer/receiver accountability.
Can we fill it in on a computer, or is it print-only?
Both. It is a fillable PDF, so every field can be typed into on a laptop or tablet and saved, or you can print it blank and fill it in by hand. Your company logo is added at no extra charge.
Does using this form make us compliant?
No single form makes a company compliant. A form is the evidence half of a safety program - it records that something was checked and by whom. It carries weight at audit time when the written program behind it says the check is required and how often. If that program does not exist yet, that is the part we write.
When do I get it?
Immediately after checkout as a download, and you can re-download it any time from your purchases page. Print or fill in as many copies as your own crews need.
From the team that wrote it
These forms come from a bigger program.
Inspection and competency forms are the evidence half of a safety program. If the program they belong to does not exist yet, or has not been updated in a few years, that is the part we write.
