Permit to Work systems are the cornerstone of workplace safety and managing high-risk activities.
Permit to Work (PTW) systems are essential for managing high-risk or isolative tasks, ensuring all safety precautions are in place before work begins. Unifii’s digital PTW solution streamlines workflows, reduces errors and provides real-time visibility, supporting compliance and integrating with key Control of Work elements like risk assessments and isolation procedures.
By digitising the PTW process, organisations can reduce risk, strengthen operational discipline and carry out hazardous work more safely and efficiently—protecting people, assets and operations.
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 compliant, efficient PTW process is crucial when employees or contractors undertake high-risk tasks, such as hot work in hazardous areas. With our digital system, contractors submit detailed permit requests through the platform, including task location and potential risks. Internal teams review the request, verify documentation, conduct risk assessments and issue the permit.
Contractors then acknowledge the permit, confirm safety measures and proceed with full visibility. The PTW remains accessible throughout the task for real-time updates, monitoring and access to supporting documents like isolation plans. This clear, step-by-step process ensures safety protocols are followed, risks are mitigated and collaboration is seamless.
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?
