About Permits

A permit is a form of documentation that proves a company has met certain safety or regulatory requirements before any work has begun.

Some examples of this kind of work might be tasks that require OSHA certification or specialized handling of hazardous waste materials or specialized equipment.

Planners decide what permits are needed for the work activity and then adds the required permits using a special type of checklist. Refer to Checklist Types and Understanding Permit Templates for more information.

Although configurable, most often no work activity can start until the permit has been obtained and activated.

This section describes concepts related to managing permits.
