Overview of Permit to Work Software

Our PTW software platform offers a range of “out-of-the-box” features aligned with industry best practices. However, digital permit-to-work software is also highly flexible and can be configured or customized to meet each client’s specific preferences. With our Eptw, clients have the freedom to configure hierarchical fields, labels, checklists, and risk matrices to align with their unique business requirements. Additionally, we specialize in customizing permit workflows, evolving from paper-based systems and forms to suit the individual needs of each organization.

One of the prominent features of our digital permit to work software is its seamless integration capabilities. Our PTW Software easily integrates with existing ERP systems such as SAP, Oracle, or similar platforms. Furthermore, the PTW System offers integration with existing Active Directories, providing single sign-on (SSO) functionality. It is also compatibility with various email clients.

Streamlined PTW System

  • Integrated, synchronized, and streamlined end-to-end digitization of the entire PTW system, from permit request to permit closure/cancellation.

  • Supporting activities of PTW Software include task-based risk assessments, additional certificates such as energy isolations, and practices such as toolbox talks.

Life Cycle of a Permit to Work

Comprehensive Permit to Work Solutions

Comprehensive Permit to Work Solutions (Risk Management)

Our Permit to Work Software plays a vital role in risk management. One can assess the associated hazards, specify the necessary safety measures, and communicate this information with the working party. In addition to integrated risk assessments, the PTW system ensures that the critical-to-safety steps cannot be bypassed, thereby reducing the likelihood of accidents, injuries, property damage, and operation interruption.’

The permit systems’ process includes:

  • Risk Identification
  • Assessment (risk likelihood, impact level, and grading via configurable risk matrix)
  • Determination of necessary control measures/mitigations
  • Risk assessments review, approvals and acknowledgments
  • Reference Library (Conceive, document, and build risk register)
  • Provision to periodically review and revise risk assessments

eptw Streamlines SIMOPS

The industrial workplace is dynamic. Its floor operations change continuously, with recurrent and parallel operations required for maintenance, repairs, and management changes in terms of new installations and expansions. This dynamicity requires various permits that sometimes lead to overlapping permit requirements of area, location, machinery or equipment and isolations.

Our Permit to work Software adeptly addresses work conflicts by:

  • Enhanced Field Communication

  • Identification and Establishment of Individual Responsibilities

  • Increased visibility of operations involving common equipment, energy source, and their isolations

Ptw Software Include Safe Shift Handovers

Permit to Work Solutions Include Safe Shift Handovers

Shift handover is a crucial aspect of a permit system. Therefore, a standardized procedure for shift handovers is needed to ensure continuity and minimize errors.

  • Our shift management provision in the digital permit-to-work software ensures that a new permit is issued or that the existing permit requires re-validation by the incoming shift. Furthermore, a shift handover procedure is initiated to guarantee the seamless transfer of every detail and responsibility from outgoing to incoming personnel. For jobs where atmospheric testing is critical, re-testing of the atmosphere at the start of each shift by the Authorized Gas Tester (AGT). All pertinent information is accurately documented on the permit for clarity and accountability.

Robust Energy Isolations & LOTOTO management

The management and information of energy isolations are crucial since they are mandatory to enable safe working conditions.

The Permit to Work Software includes processes to:

  • Build a central equipment repository containing equipment-wise and energy-wise (electrical, process, etc.) isolation points and other isolation details such as electrical line diagrams, P&ID, etc.
  • Mark ‘need for isolation’ when requesting a new permit/reviewing a permit request and fill in the necessary details (reason, method of isolation, type of isolation, etc.)

  • Perform the required isolation(s) by the authorized personnel
  • Print weatherproof isolation tags used to identify isolations, locks, or key safes
  • Facilitate on-field isolations verification using handheld mobile devices
  • All other supporting processes such as Re-energization/De-isolation, Sanction to Test, and, extended period of isolations.

We were looking for a competent solution for our scaffolding operations spanning multiple sites. Scaffolding management system offered us the ability to shift from a basic to digitalised all-in-one platform.This has enabled efficient scaffolding operations providing inspected and safer material, effortlessly. What helps our case even more is the software availability in local language (Chinese) and English.

We needed a customized solution, as the sheer scale of our operations demanded accurate estimates of scaffolding equipment and manpower. Older methods resulted in significant time delays in scaffolding operations. Through our close discussions, TECH EHS proposed a workflow for SMS that fitted the bill, perfectly. Ultimately, this led to an overall reduction in delays and a streamlined scaffolding lifecycle.
