Re-issue (Revalidate) a Permit

Status: Suspended → Re-issued → Awaiting Re-opening → Live Live

Bring a suspended permit back to Live after revalidating that conditions and controls are still in place.

When to use

Use this task when a permit is Suspended (after a revalidation suspension, Suspend a Permit (Revalidation)) and work is ready to resume.

Before you start — check before launching the task

Conditions on site, controls and any attached certificates are still valid.
The Permit Control Authority re-issues; the Performing Authority accepts revalidation; the OA Representative re-opens.

As Permit Control Authority, sign Re-issue. Confirm the prerequisite controls and set the issuing period (single shift; start within 2 h). Re-issue also requires the ICC in Isolation in Place (or LTI) and the INH in an authorised/in-place state. The permit moves to Re-issued.
As Performing Authority, sign Accept revalidation.
As Operating Authority Representative, sign Re-open (confirming the prerequisite controls). The permit returns to Live.

The permit is Live again for the new issuing period.

Issue/re-issue is daily and countersigned — each resumption is a fresh issue by the issuing authority, countersigned by the performing authority. (CR-GR-HSE-402, Req 3.5.1)
A "safety green light" is carried out before restarting after a break, to confirm conditions have not changed. (CR-GR-HSE-402, Req 3.5.2)
Reuse does not remove the need to check current conditions — revalidation re-checks the worksite. (CR-GR-HSE-402, Req 3.2.1)

Tip — revalidation is a real re-check. Confirm conditions on site, not just on screen.

Pitfall — re-issuing across two shifts. The issuing period must fit one shift.

Mistake	Consequence
Re-issuing without re-checking the site	Work resumes on outdated assumptions
Re-issuing with the ICC not in the required state	Re-issue blocked
