FAQs
What is a digital permit system?
It’s a centralised platform that manages all work permits electronically, replacing paper-based processes with digital workflows. It centralises permit information, reduces paperwork, provides real-time visibility into site activity, and enhances safety by ensuring proper procedures and authorisations are followed digitally.
Why is it safer than paper permits?
Digital permits reduce human error by enforcing quality data capture and driving teams to think about the data they are collecting and why it’s important. The system real-time visibility, and ensure approvals can’t be missed or falsified.
At a business level, Health & Safety professionals can have remote oversight of what is happening across all projects, ensure works are being carried out safely and consistently.
