GPIC’s Permit To Work (PTW) comprehensively covers the Hot Work Permit system. Authorisation to receive or issue a PTW, is only granted to those who pass both a written exam and an interview, where their full understanding of the requirement and the essence of the (PTW) is ascertained. An appraisal is completed every two years to revalidate this authorisation. In addition, GPIC’s PTW procedure is regularly audited and reviewed.
