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 a Permit to Work?

A Permit to Work is a formal, documented process that ensures high-risk jobs, such as hot work, confined space entry, electrical tasks, or line breaks, are properly assessed, authorized, and controlled before they begin. It confirms the work is safe to start, the right controls are in place, and everyone involved understands the hazards and requirements.

How Does VelocityEHS Improve the Permit to Work (PTW) process?

VelocityEHS centralizes every step, raising, approving, tracking, and closing permits, while providing real-time visibility, automated reminders, qualification checks, and instant documentation to reduce errors and increase safety.

Can I See All Permits Across My Site in Real Time?

Yes. Site-specific maps and calendars show every active, pending, and upcoming permit so you can prevent conflicts and ensure safe work sequencing.

Does VelocityEHS Handle Multiple Types of Permits?

Yes. You can create, customize, and manage any permit type, including hot work, confined space, work at height, electrical, excavation, and more.

How Does VelocityEHS Reduce Administrative Time?

Automation does the heavy lifting. Preloaded templates, notifications, one-click document access, and centralized workflows cut administrative work dramatically and reduce delays across the entire PTW process.
