Managing safety risk while controlling work is crucial to ensure the safety and productivity of people working on hazardous plants. In this article, we will discuss how IntelliPERMIT can help improve safety risk analysis and control of work in factories and mines.
Performing a job hazard analysis and reducing residual risk to ALARP levels is essential for ensuring workplace safety. The JHA process helps to identify potential hazards, assess risk, and develop controls to mitigate or eliminate hazards. By implementing appropriate controls, residual risk can be reduced to ALARP levels.
Electronic permit to work requires proper training for end users to be effective.
An electronic permit to work safety system is a smart investment for businesses looking to improve safety, efficiency, and compliance.
This article is the first in a series of articles on change management in software projects. We will draw on our experience implementing control of work and safety management systems in industry.
Addressing cyber security is a top priority in industrial plants where the impact of a security incident can result in loss or damage to valuable equipment and even harm people and the environment. Adapt IT Manufacturing was recently audited by BSI and is certified to ISO27001.
IntelliPERMIT handles the management and control of competencies and other pre-requisites like medical certificates for each person involved in preparing, accepting or working under a permit.
The job risk assessment (JRA) is a structured methodology that looks at the steps that will be needed to complete the job, the specific hazards associated with each step, the associated risks and the controls necessary to work safely.
To prevent accidents all equipment being worked on needs to be isolated from any potential energy source that could cause harm.
A permit to work is the control document that describes the work that is to be done, the hazards identified, the precautions to be taken and the personal protective equipment that must be used. The permit also contains details of all the isolations that need to be in place.
For people who enjoy problem-solving, continuous learning, new challenges and making a positive contribution, mining can be a rewarding career choice, and technology is changing the game!
One of the benefits of a digital safety system is being able to use the data to gain better safety-related insights. But how many companies take the step of analysing their safety data, let alone turning it into tangible action plans?
Both the permit to work and the job risk assessment are critical procedures designed to ensure that work takes place safely. We explain the differences and why both are necessary.
