When safety at the workplace gets compromised,
the results are often a series of unavoidable
problems for organisations. The most common
(read frustrating) is the blame-game and since
humans have a natural tendency to passing the
buck, they either accuse each other involved in
the system, blame the system itself, or seldom
own-up to the inescapable human fault.
Thankfully, there exists a solution that can
ensure true accountability or even modify the
system for a safer work environment. An e-permit
to work system allows companies to keep a tab on
everyones activities, ensuring that all are
amply trained and prepared when they take up any
work at a particular location and time.

If you are planning to switch from a manual
permit to work system to a digitised one, or
looking to introduce an e-permit to work
system into your company, here a few major
advantages of e-PTW over its manual counterpart.
Saves Time, Speeds Up PTW Procedures
Time is of great importance in high-stakes
activities. In an attempt to achieve higher
operational efficiency, companies often try to
push their limits even if that include
compromising on safety with extended permits and
re-issuance of permits. An e-permit to work
system perfectly fills such a gap between
adhering to the safety standards and becoming
time-efficient by creating a collaborative
environment, where professionals involved can
easily update workflows and status in real-time,
which can reduce the response time by up to 70.

Saves Money, Ensures Better Productivity
When it comes to adopting any new system,
companies always aim to have a system that can
optimise the cost while bringing more value to
the business. An electronic permit to work
system facilitates the same as it makes use of a
cloud-based core repository, where professionals
can effortlessly update, store, retrieve, and
create permits online while additionally getting
quick approvals at any time and from anywhere.
This helps save cost by cutting down the energy
and resources invested in carrying out trivial
tasks and focussing solely on crucial aspects.

Prevents Human Errors, Ensures Full Visibility of
PTW Activities
Human errors are the reason behind the bulk of
workplace accidents, which is nearly impossible
to be controlled by paper-based, manual permit to
work processes. However, a software-based PTW
system lets you have an analytical view of the
entire permit framework in one window in
real-time which encompasses issuance, site
schedules, authorisations, permit modifications
and so on. This makes it one of the most
exhaustive solutions for controlling human errors
while ensuring true accountability.
Saves from Becoming Obsolete, Makes the PTW
System Future-Proof
Digitalisation has dramatically transformed
almost every aspect of businesses and the
dynamics of supply and demand is no exception. In
the age of disruptive technology, any manual PTW
system would likely fail to keeping up with the
ever-changing requirements of modern
organisations. An e-permit to work system can
effortlessly be upgraded to meet the needs from
as and when required and may also be integrated
with more advanced and intelligent systems to
ensure a zero-incident workplace of the future.

To Conclude
Permit to work is an important element of control
of work. It includes permit to work, hazard
identification, risk assessment and isolation
management. Reducing unsafe activities is amongst
the major facets of risk assessment. In a
workplace, risk management entails five key
steps identifying the risk, determining which
individuals can be harmed and how, analysing the
risk, recording the findings, and tracking and
reviewing the results. Moreover, proper
communication of the identified hazardous working
environment and the outcomes of regular safety
checks throughout the workplace is necessary,
which requires a formal management system. The
work to permit system itself helps to distinguish
roles and responsibilities while defining a
stepwise guide to ensure complete safety and
security. Advanced e-permit to work systems are
designed to control work and prevent major
accidents within the workplace by detecting and
avoiding them well before time. These systems are
suitable for a host of sectors and industries to
manage high-risk activities, ranging from
construction work permits and commercial premises
work permits to pharmaceutical and health sector
permits. A fully automated, end-to-end work
permit system is completely cloud-based, fully
supported from co-location data centres,
customisable to the clients specific
requirements and preferences, and developed to
reduce cost and time while expediting the
workflow processes through managed health and
safety stages.
