What is Permit To Work?

A Permit to Work (PTW) system is a formal documented procedure to control high-risk activities by ensuring all hazards are identified, risks assessed, and precautions taken before work begins. It's essential for preventing incidents during maintenance, construction, and non-routine tasks.

Our digital PTW platform streamlines permit issuance, approval, and closure. Manage hot work permits, confined space entry, electrical work, working at heights, and custom permit types—all with mobile access, electronic signatures, and complete audit trails.

Process

How It Works

1

Worker or contractor requests permit via mobile app. Specify work type, location, duration, and required precautions.

2
Review & Approve

Authorized issuer reviews HIRA, verifies precautions, and approves permit. Electronic signatures document approval.

3
Execute Work

Work proceeds under permit conditions. Monitor compliance with precautions. Extend permit if work continues beyond validity.

4
Close Permit

Upon work completion, formally close permit. Document that area is safe and all equipment/materials removed.
