Safe systems of work and the permit to work
In this article we will take a look at the concept of a “Safe System of Work”, and how this relates to overall operational risk management and the permit to work.
Integrating the permit to an access control system
In this article we discuss access control in general and then some of the opportunities for improving safety by integrating site access control with the electronic permit to work system.
How to focus your safety training on what really matters
Safety training is seen as the most important intervention that will ensure that workers are competent in their jobs. Training is always a good thing, when done right. It is even better when safety training is laser focused on the precise requirements of the job.
Shift handover and the permit to work
Shift handover is a a critical process that relies on effective communication in order to reduce the risk of safety incidents. The permit to work system must be coordinated with the shift handover procedures to ensure that jobs continue to take place under safe conditions, even when teams change.
How IntelliPERMIT helps ensure people work safely at height
Work at height is a particularly hazardous activity which should be reduced by specific control measures that first tries to avoid the work altogether, and then if this is not possible, limits the risk through precautions. The permit to work is an important administrative tool to ensure safe work takes place at height.
How IntelliPERMIT reduces risk during simultaneous operations (SIMOPS)
Simultaneous operations (“SIMOPS”) refers to a situation where two or more potentially conflicting activities are being executed simultaneously and in close proximity to one another. Safety is affected because the interactions between the jobs are not fully understood.
