The new Permit to Work module allows users to quickly and easily create, request and manage permits for all manner of hazardous works.

Many companies use paper to drive their permit process. The same permit form is photocopied repeatedly, altered, filed away and potentially lost when you need it. 

The Permit to Work module changes all that. All stakeholders in the work are given visibility on permit status, facilitating better communication with your team and contractors.

Why do we need safety permits?

Safety permits are used to for work where normal precautions cannot be used, or where the work itself may cause new hazards. Permits are vital to determining what steps must be taken when carrying out, recording and monitoring a potentially dangerous task. Permits also state what should happen after a task is completed. Permits also serve as a written record of the work being carried out. They cover when the work is carried out, who is involved, and the permissions of the involved parties.

What are the types of safety permit to work?

There are several types of safe work permits, depending on the type of task being performed. Some of the most common are:

• Hot Works permits - activities that could pose a fire risk, such as welding and soldering

• Cold Works permits - activities with no sources of ignition

• Confined Space permits - activities where the enclosed nature of the environment increases the likelihood of an accident

• Electrical Works permits - activities involving live electrical components

• Working from Height permits - actvities where a person could be injured if they fell.

What is a height work permit?

Working at heights permits allow you and your contractor to record issues like hazards connected with the work they are going to conduct along with the necessary precautions should be taken. By making these considerations, the potential for incidents is greatly reduced and, therefore, the permit will help to protect the safety of employees and contractors.

What is hot work permit?

Because hot works can have many controls it is not enough to trust that people will remember what to do, based on training that could be years old.

A hot works permit reminds people what needs to be checked before, during and after the work. Often it requires people with competencies in different areas to sign off that specific checks have been made. Has the area been cleared of combustion hazards? Has the air been tested for flammable gases? Has the right fire extinguisher been provided?

What is a confined space work permit

A confined space permit guides employees and contractores through all the checks they need to make, aequipment and PPE needed, all permissions to be granted, and identifies who else needs to be told about the work. Typically, only when the permit is signed off by the right people can the work begin.
