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.

Accessing the safety documents that matter using IntelliPERMIT
Safety management systems rely on the control of formal safety documents that need to be easily and reliably accessed when it matters most, while planning and executing work in dangerous plant areas.
Software supported isolations and IntelliPERMIT
Is it possible to use IntelliPERMIT in combination with a DCS or PLC to manage isolations using software only? Read more about software assisted isolations.
Safety in Ports and IntelliPERMIT
Safe work is a major objective for companies operating port environments. In this article we will highlight some special considerations when implementing a permit to work (PTW) system in a port.
Adapt IT Co-Sponsors Mining Leaders Forum in Perth
Mining leadership is facing many challenges and safety is one very important measure of their performance. IntelliPERMIT enables leaders to effectively delegate routine safety tasks to a reliable proven system, and focus on the exceptions. Implementation of IntelliPERMIT in a mining operation has many benefits including increased safety awareness, improved disciplines and increased productivity.

Building on a success story – IntelliPERMIT
The growth in the number of companies choosing IntelliPERMIT to help manage operational safety and risk has been very encouraging. We spoke to Scott Bredin, Operations Executive at Adapt IT about what lies ahead.
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.
The benefits of integrating a permit to work system with other applications
The case for integrating the electronic permit to work system with maintenance, operations management and performance systems on a plant is compelling. A successful integration will require careful analysis of the business need, a clear requirement definition, good system design and effective project management.
Achieve project success with effective change management
Project success depends largely on the ability to positively change people’s attitudes and behaviour. Change management initiatives need to be carefully planned. They do not happen by chance.
Managing Isolations for Safe Work
During maintenance it is important to take every possible precaution to avoid loss or harm. One important precaution is to isolate all the equipment being worked on from uncontrolled energy sources. Positive isolation should be used where possible and controlled by a system of locks managed by the permit to work.

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.
Alumina refinery improves productivity and integrity of safety systems with IntelliPERMIT
This case study describes a recent project where an electronic permit to work system (IntelliPERMIT) was implemented at a bauxite mine and the associated alumina refining operation in Australia.
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.
9 Steps to Safe Work with a Permit
The permit to work helps to reduce the risk of safety incidents by ensuring the people involved are aware of the specific hazards, take the necessary precautions and are competent for the work. It also ensures that communication takes place between production and maintenance teams throughout the job from planning, preparation, execution to hand over and restoring the plant to normal operations.
The Confined Space Permit to Work
Confined space entry is a particularly dangerous activity and special care needs to be taken when work is done. The confined space permit assists the employer to make sure that adequate precautions are in place for each job or task involving confined spaces.
