Streamline Permit to Work
Efficiency and Safety in Every Task
From Pen and Paper to Safety Centric Workflows
1
Request and Create Permits
- Request a PtW for a specific task, equipment and location using configurable and reusable electronic forms
- Conduct integrated safety assessments (TRA, JSA, ORM)
- Link the PtW to relevant isolations, LoTos, and SIMOPs
- Approve or reject the PtW based on the safety assessments
2
Integrate with Isolation Planning, Lockout/Tagout and SIMOPs
- Identify any equipment or systems that need isolation
- Follow LOTO processes and verify that the equipment is safely secured
- Identify and implement safety measures to manage simultaneous operations
3
Issue the Permit
- Issue the PtW once isolations, LoTo, and SIMOPs are in place
- Include details such as work duration, personnel involved, and safety precautions
- Notify stakeholders with rule-based emails and alerts
4
Complete the Task
- Follow the approved PtW and associated safety measures
- Monitor the status of each task, issuing automated alerts for overdue tasks
- Continuously monitor isolations, LoTo, and SIMOPs to prevent incidents
- Report any deviations, investigate and take corrective actions promptly
5
Close the Loop
- After completing the work, close the PtW
- Verify that all equipment is restored, LoTo is removed, and SIMOPs are ended safely
- Conduct post-job safety assessments
- Monitor active permits, inactive permits and preventive actions from a central overview

ARLANXEO Eliminates Paper Mill and Manual Work with Automated Permits to Work
7 Reasons to Ditch Paper and Upgrade to a Digital Permit-to-Work System
Without a reliable permit to work system, there’s no guarantee that safety protocols are being followed when handling hazardous tasks. Yet, a lot of companies still use inefficient paper-based systems that miss out on key hazards and controls, making workplace accidents more likely.
Let’s explore the common challenges of traditional PtW systems and show you how switching to a streamlined digital approach can make your workplace safer and more efficient.
How paper-based permit to work systems are holding you backPaper-based PtW systems throw up a lot of problems.…
3 Reasons Centralizing Your Control of Work Processes Pays Off
In the last decade, we’ve seen promising improvements in safety performance, largely thanks to the adoption of EHS technology. Total Recordable Incident Rates (TRIR) are down, which is encouraging. But, there’s a but. Fatal incidents actually rose from 2011 to 2021.
This tells us there’s more work to do. Traditional safety practices like data collection and audits are key for compliance, but they don’t go far enough in preventing serious incidents.…
Your Roadmap to Operational Excellence: Lean, Digital, and Integrated
Adopting a lean mindset, digitizing EHSQ processes, and integrating them into a unified software solution – these are three key steps to achieving operational excellence in process safety management. All well and good, but how can you put them into practice?
Using permit-to-work (PtW) and shift handover as examples, we’ll show you how.
Streamlining Processes for Operational ExcellenceAt TenForce, we’re all about “the lean way” to manage EHSQ processes. That’s because lean methodology is grounded in waste elimination, process optimization, and the pursuit of operational excellence.…
Saving Lives Everyday with Permit to Work
Think about all the high-risk jobs that you’ve assessed: complete risk elimination is impossible. That’s why permit-to-work (PtW) exists. These formal, written procedures are designed to prevent workplace accidents and incidents by ensuring that high-risk tasks, such as hot work, confined space entry, and work at height, are carried out safely and efficiently.
They function as a communication tool between site management, supervisors, and those who carry out the work, outlining the exact nature of the work, its location, the methodology, and the precautions necessary to carry it out safely.…
