Problems Permit to Work Solves
- Manual & Paper-Based Permits
- Paper permits are lost, incomplete, or delayed—leading to safety risks and operational mistakes.
- Missing Safety Precautions
- Critical steps like LOTO, ventilation, barricading, or PPE are often skipped or undocumented.
- Delayed Approvals
- Supervisors and safety officers are not notified instantly, causing work delays.
- Poor Isolation Control
- Unverified isolations lead to dangerous conditions during maintenance or contractor work.
- No Audit-Ready Records
- Incomplete logs, signatures, gas tests, and authorization details fail ISO, OSHA, and HSE audits.
- Lack of Traceability
- Plants cannot track who approved what, when, where, and under what conditions.
