Permit to Work (PTW) Module
The Permit to Work (PTW) module centralizes permit creation,
workflow customization, cross-deployment of machinery, document attachments,
QR-based access, offline contingency, and dashboard monitoring to ensure safe
and auditable PTW operations.
1. Permit Management – Create, extend, and draft permits
Create permits with start/end times, scope, risk controls,
and responsible persons. Support permit extensions, temporary closures, and
draft modes for review before issue. Attach requirements and set validity
windows to ensure permits are active only when controls are in place.
2. Workflow Customization – Tailor PTW processes based on user roles
Customize approval chains and conditional steps based on
roles (e.g., site manager, HSE, supervisor). Define who can raise, review,
approve, and close permits. Version workflows for auditability and rapid
updates.
3. Cross deployment – Share machinery for PTW
Enable sharing of equipment or machinery across projects
while tracking current assignment, permit linkage, and related safety tags.
Prevent double-booking and allow cross-project approvals where needed.
4. Document Attachment – Add relevant documents, photos, and checklists
Attach manuals, photos, risk assessments, and inspection
checklists to permits. Maintain document versions and require acknowledgment
where necessary. Photos captured during inspections are stored with timestamps.
5. QR Code Access – View applied permits
Generate QR codes linked to a permit summary for quick
on-site verification. Scanning a QR shows permit status, controls, validity,
and attached documents—useful for gate checks and toolbox talks.
6. Offline PTW – Contingency when the server is down
Support offline permit creation and verification with local
caching. Once connectivity is restored, synchronize records with the server.
Ensure offline entries are cryptographically signed or logged to prevent
tampering.
7. Dashboard Monitoring – Actions of PTW progress
Real-time dashboards show open permits, pending approvals,
expiring permits, and recent activity. Filter by site, permit type, or
responsible person. Export snapshots for leadership reviews and daily
briefings.
