Work Permit Receiver (WPR)

A Work Permit Receiver (WPR) is the individual authorized to receive, understand, and implement a work permit before any job begins. This person ensures that:

• All safety precautions listed in the permit are applied
• Hazards are identified and controlled
• The workforce understands the scope and risks of the job
• Work is executed strictly within the permit conditions

In simple terms, the WPR acts as the bridge between the permit issuer and the work crew.
