QEHSPermit-to-work management
Digital PTW from request through surrender — no clipboards, no paper chase.
Hot work, confined space, and excavation permits are issued, approved, monitored, and surrendered digitally. Gas-test readings, attendant logs, and emergency contacts are captured in the permit record, giving auditors a complete chain of custody.
The problem
- Paper permits are illegible, misplaced, or never surrendered
- No visibility into how many live permits are active across a site
- Expired training or certifications let unqualified workers obtain permits
- Audit trails exist only as scanned PDF bundles
How it works
A step-by-step walkthrough of this use case in QEHS.
Request the permit
The job supervisor opens the permit template, fills in work description, location, and planned start time.
Run pre-work checks
The area isolator completes the pre-work checklist — gas test, combustibles cleared, fire watch assigned.
Approve and issue
The area authority reviews all checks and digitally signs to issue the permit.
Monitor mid-shift
Mid-shift re-check hold points remind the attendant to re-test and re-sign. The permit auto-suspends if a check is missed.
Surrender and close
At job completion, the supervisor QR-scans the permit to surrender it. The area authority countersigns and the record closes.
