Work Permits
Optimize and streamline authorization management with Field – Work Permits. Take your validation processes to the next level with greater control, efficiency, and security.
You can manage everything from the simplest processes, where signers only validate the data entered at the end of a Work Permit document, to more complex processes where the workflow requires validations, signatures, and authorizations that are passed from one mobile device to another.
WHAT IS WORK PERMIT MANAGEMENT?
It is a process that seeks to ensure safety, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance in specific activities within a company.

This procedure ensures that the risks associated with certain tasks are identified and mitigated before they begin, especially in high-risk jobs.
Benefits of Good Permit Management
With Field Work Permits, you not only significantly reduce downtime, which requires identifying those responsible for the various tasks, but also enable a continuous improvement process based on the calculation of management indicators.
Safety
Minimizes workplace accidents.
Legal Compliance
Avoids penalties for violating health and safety regulations.
Efficiency
Ensures that work is carried out in an orderly and planned manner.
Trust
Promotes a safe work environment where employees feel protected.
DIGITAL PERMIT MANAGEMENT
With the app, you can clearly see all the stages a permit must go through, such as Authorization, Production Demo, and Shaft Closure. In this example (400020), the permit has already passed the first two stages and is ready for Shaft Closure signature, ensuring a streamlined and transparent workflow.
