Permit To Work (PTW) is a safety program initiated for high-risk activities. It is a core element of integrated safe system of work (ISSOW) systems, along with risk assessment and isolation planning.

Rigging is the process of lifting and moving objects. Slinging is the name for the materials used to connect the load to the crane or any other type of lifting device. Rigging and Slinging are operations that require a firm grasp on how to operate machinery and equipment safely. Often, the objects are odd sizes or extremely heavy. Those characteristics in themselves are part of the reason why the job requires specialized training.
