Add Permits to Work Orders
Permits in asset management and maintenance provide crucial information about safety measures that need to be taken before starting the work. They help maintenance staff understand and implement necessary precautions during maintenance works.
For example, when an operator is performing maintenance checks on equipment like a compressor, which requires isolation before work, a safety permit is necessary. The permit mandates isolating the compressor, which involves shutting it down, disconnecting power sources, and implementing lockout/tagout procedures. This eliminates potential hazards.
To add permits to the work order, do the following:
- Tap on the Permits tab.
