Frequently asked questions
What is a permit book used for?

A permit book is used to formally authorise high risk work before it begins, and to keep a written record of that authorisation. Depending on the activity, this covers hazard identification, control measures, equipment checks and sign off from an authorised person. The duplicate format means both the person carrying out the work and the site record hold a matching copy.
Who should be completing and signing off a permit?

Permits are generally issued by a supervisor, safety officer or other person authorised to approve high risk work on site, and completed in conjunction with the worker carrying out the task. Exact sign off requirements can vary between sites and principal contractors, so it is worth confirming who holds authorisation before work begins. The book itself provides the structure, but responsibility for approval sits with your site procedures.
Do permit books use duplicate sets, and how does that work?

Each permit book uses NCR duplicate forms, so writing on the top copy transfers through to the copy underneath without carbon paper. One copy stays in the book as the site record, and the other can be handed to the worker, supervisor or principal contractor. A built in writing shield keeps the copy beneath clean and legible, which matters when books are being filled in outdoors or against a hard surface.
Are your compliance books suitable for high risk work permits?

Yes, several books in our range are specifically designed for high risk work activities. We stock working at heights permit books, hot works permit books, and excavation permit books, each with fields tailored to the specific hazards and controls required for those activities. Each book contains 50 duplicate sets, includes a writing shield to protect the copy beneath, and is printed on quality stock that holds up to site conditions. These books are designed to align with Australian WHS requirements for documenting high risk work, though we recommend checking with your WHS adviser or principal contractor for any site specific requirements.
Can I get permit books custom printed with my company branding?

Yes, all of our permit books can be custom printed to suit your business. You can add your company logo, adjust field names to match your internal procedures, include project specific information, or change the layout to reflect your existing documentation processes. Custom books help workers fill in records correctly because the forms are familiar and relevant to their work. To get started, provide your artwork as a high resolution PDF, AI, or EPS file, or we can assist with layout and design. Get in touch to discuss quantities and lead times for your custom order.
