Manage and authorise safety control bypasses effortlessly, ensuring compliance and mitigating operational risk.
Trusted throughout heavy industries
The problem
Challenges in managing bypasses
Lack of visibility and tracking
Nobody can say with confidence which safety controls are currently bypassed across the site.
Inconsistent authorisation procedures
Who may approve an override, and on what basis, varies between shifts, areas and teams.
Documentation gaps
Bypasses get applied faster than they get recorded, leaving the register incomplete.
Complex approval processes
High-risk overrides need senior sign-off, and chasing it delays the work.
Risk of human error
A bypass left in place after work finishes is one of the most dangerous conditions on a plant.
Integration issues
Override records held apart from the permit system cannot be reconciled against live work.
