  Permit Area Webinar

  Posted by Hayley Head on 23 June 2025 at 1:45 pm

  The Safety Standards and Procedures Group (SSPG) has published the new Permit Area Guide, which sets out industry good practices for the application and management of permit areas in Switchyards and Stations, as defined in the SM-EI. This comprehensive guide covers:

  • Principles and requirements for
    permit area management
  • Best practices for signage
    within permit areas
  • Clear explanations that a
    Permit Area is an Issuer-applied safety measure

  The new guide replaces the previous documents, Principles of Permit Areas and Marking Equipment for Access for Work, streamlining guidance and reducing cross-referencing. The improved layout and clarity aim to make compliance and implementation easier for all users.

  The SSPG thanks all companies who provided feedback during the consultation process.

  Accessing the Guide

  The Permit Area Guide is now available via the Knowledge Network or on the publications page of the EEA website.

  Upcoming Webinar

  To support the release, SSPG will host a webinar:

  • Date: 8th July
  • Time: 9:00–10:00am

  This session will provide an overview of the new guide and answer any questions.
