The Calculated Benefits of Electronic Permit to Work Systems
Permit to Work (PTW) systems are key to ensuring the safe execution of hazardous work activities. PTW procedures are usually supported by a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) process and a range of related procedures for high risk activities such as confined space, hot work, etc. Different activities require different processes and authorizations which must be learned by personnel and properly applied. A significant majority of operational facilities worldwide utilize manual paper based PTW procedures and forms.
