Digital Permit to Work

Permit to Work systems are the cornerstone of workplace safety and the management of high-risk activities.

Permit to Work (PTW) systems are essential to any industry that manages prescribed high risk activities and or activities that require isolation ensuring that all necessary precautions are in place before work begins. Unifii’s digital PTW solution takes this process to the next level by streamlining workflows, reducing errors and providing real-time visibility into permit status. It enhances operational oversight, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and integrating seamlessly with other Control of Work elements like risk assessments, isolation procedures and contractor management. With our digital PTW system, organisations can minimise risks, improve operational discipline and empower their teams to carry out high-risk work safely and efficiently while protecting them, their assets and operations in demanding environments.

Our digital PTW solution provides an adaptable, streamlined process with real-time status, location and compliance data.

Streamline high-risk activities with our digital Permit-to-Work system.

A streamlined and compliant PTW process is essential when high-risk work involving your employees/contractors. For example when they are engaged to perform hot work in a hazardous area, the steps to success with a digital PTW solution are:

Request the Permit: The contractor submits a PTW request via the digital platform, detailing the task, location, and any potential risks. This ensures all necessary information is captured upfront.

Issue the Permit: The internal team reviews the request, verifies required documentation (qualifications, licences, etc.) and conducts a risk assessment. Once approved, the digital PTW is issued.

Accept the Permit: The contractor confirms receipt of the PTW, reviews task-specific safety measures and acknowledges understanding of site requirements directly through the platform.

Use the Permit: During the work, the PTW remains accessible via the platform, allowing real-time monitoring, status updates and easy access to related documents such as isolation plans or safety procedures.

Our digital PTW platform ensures these steps are efficient, compliant, and transparent. With automated workflows, real-time updates, and a centralised source of truth, your organisation can collaborate seamlessly with contractors, delivering high-risk work safely and effectively. All the while the task has clear steps regarding the request, issue, acceptance and use of a PTW, ensuring risks are mitigated and all safety protocols are followed.

The Permit to Work Challenge.

High-risk activities management involves answering critical questions that impact safety, compliance and efficiency:

Operational Discipline and Compliance: How does my system meet workplace health and safety regulations with high levels of operational discipline?

Consistency Across the Organisation: How do we achieve consistent application of complex processes, no matter the team or location?

Engaging and Value-Adding Processes: How do we get our system to be beneficial and essential to our workers?

Streamlined Processes: How to reduce non-value-adding steps while maintaining rigorous safety and compliance?
