Permit management

Permit management for work that cannot go wrong

Replace paper permits and message-thread approvals with a controlled digital process. Define the permit type, route the approvals, record gas readings and isolations, and keep the signed record in one place.

Permit control

Control high-risk work from request to close-out

Configure permit types for your operations, capture the checks that matter and give supervisors a clear record of what was authorised.

Configurable permit templates

Create permit types for hot work, confined space, work at height, electrical work, isolation, LOTO and other high-risk tasks.

Approval steps and signatures

Route the permit to the responsible supervisor or HSE reviewer and record the decision with a signature.

Gas readings and isolation checks

Record gas measurements, isolation points and lock-out/tag-out checks before work is authorised.

Hazards and controls

Capture the work description, hazards, precautions and the controls that must be in place before the job starts.

Status and close-out

Track the permit through its lifecycle and record the close-out signature when the work is finished.

Permit reports

Generate a PDF report from the permit record and review active and closed permits in the system.

No work without control

The approval, the check and the signature in one record

A contractor requests hot work near a live process line. The permit records the job, the hazards and the precautions, then routes to the responsible supervisor or HSE reviewer for approval.

The gas reading and isolation check are recorded before authorisation. When the job finishes, the area is checked and the permit is closed with a signature. The full record remains available for review.

FAQ

Permit management: frequently asked questions

Which permit types are supported?

Templates can cover hot work, confined space entry, work at height, electrical work, isolation, LOTO and other high-risk tasks. Fields and approval steps are configurable.

Can we record gas tests and LOTO checks?

Yes. Permit forms can capture gas readings, isolation points and lock-out/tag-out checks, with the values and signatures retained in the record.

Can permits capture signatures?

Yes. Permit templates can include signature fields for the responsible people, and the approval decision is recorded against the permit.

Can contractors use the system?

Contractors can be added as users with the site and permit permissions you choose, so they can request or complete permits without seeing unrelated records.

Can we report on permits?

Yes. Permits can be exported as PDF reports, and the system keeps active and closed permits available for review.

Does it work on mobile?

Permit records and forms can be opened on mobile for field checks. Approvals are recorded centrally so the permit reflects the authorised version.
