Completed Permits in the First Month.

Raised, completed, and closed more than 1,100 permits in first nine months.

The manual process was no longer giving us the documentation control or visibility for an audit trail we needed. Some of these documents were handwritten, which made them hard to read and caused documentation issues. We needed to get a system in place with better visibility for all parties involved, helping to establish a clear audit trail to aid in our journey to achieving an ISO 45001 certification. Having full visibility of contractor activities onsite has drastically improved our regulatory compliance requirements, giving us the opportunity to further ensure everyone’s safety.

FAQs

What Is Control of Work?

Control of Work is a structured process that ensures only qualified people perform approved work under the right conditions. It combines permit to work, contractor vetting, visitor management, training, and qualification tracking to protect people and ensure compliance.

How Does VelocityEHS Simplify Control of Work?

VelocityEHS centralizes every part of the process—permits, workflows, contractor checks, qualifications, training, and visitor tracking—into one cloud solution. Automation removes administrative burden, reduces delays, and ensures compliance is always documented.

Can the System Prevent Unqualified Contractors from Accessing My Site?

Yes. VelocityEHS automatically flags missing qualifications, expired documents, or failed vetting criteria—and prevents unsafe personnel from being approved, assigned work, or checking in.

How Does This Support Permit to Work Programs?

You can raise, review, approve, close, and print permits digitally, including hot work, confined space, electrical, line break, and more. Conflict detection, calendars, and site maps help you coordinate safe work across the site.

Does VelocityEHS Support Enterprise Scale?

Yes. Global organizations use it to centralize contractors, permits, work activity, and qualifications across hundreds of sites—with consistent standards and full cross-location visibility.
