HSE HSG250 — Guidance on permit-to-work systems (2005)

Provisions the documents cite: whole document

What it requires

The anatomy every document in the suite is structured to. Its foreword extends it beyond petroleum/chemical to "other industries where permit-to-work systems are used" — the basis for applying it to construction. Guidance, not law: following it is not compulsory.

The instrument itself: https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/books/hsg250.htm. The summary above is our plain-English reading, not the text of the instrument — always work from the source.
