Permit-to-load gate checklist (7 ticks before you sign, PDF + Word)

About to sign a permit to load after erect or alteration? Run this one-page gate checklist at the permit desk first.

Seven ticks cover the approved design and drawing on site, a current third-party certificate, a green tag that matches the structure, a complete inspection log (including after long disuse), tie layout versus the face, open defects closed (or held with owners), and load class as written on the design. Tick Yes / No / N/A, note initials, and record a clear outcome: clear to sign, hold, or return to the competent person or designer.

How this differs from our free Handover Gate checklist (Product 07) and the full Temporary Works register pack (Product 02): this is a one-page sign-off sheet for the permit desk after each erect or alteration. The free handover gate covers handover readiness; Product 02 includes a full permit-to-load form inside a multi-page pack. Use this when you need a thin permit-desk tick sheet, not a full register pack.

Permit to load is a project temporary works procedure step (good practice). It is not a named Dubai Municipality Safety Guide (2026) permit. Gates 1 to 4 track Guide records named in the footer; gates 5 to 7 are project good practice.

What you get:

- Printable one-page PDF checklist (A4)

- Editable Word version for your own logo and project fields

Who it is for: TW coordinators, package managers, site managers, HSE officers and scaffold supervisors on UAE projects who sign or clear a permit to load after erect or alteration.

A project template for your team. Your competent persons complete it and own the content. Approvals follow your project engineering office and authority process. Not an engineering approval, design check or certification. This checklist does not make the scaffold safe and does not replace the competent person.
