Preface
Use this guide according to your role in the Permit-to-Work or JHA lifecycle.
Part I: Understand iPermits
Understand iPermits roles, permissions, lifecycle stages, and the Web and Mobile screens used for each action.
Part II: Raise and Plan Permits
Raise work-order-linked or standalone permits, complete required planning information, and submit them for review.
Part III: Review and Prepare Permits
Review, authorize, validate, issue, hold, resume, or reject permits according to the active lifecycle role.
Part IV: Execute and Close Permits
Acknowledge and execute permitted work, complete safety checks, surrender the permit, and close it after completion.
Part V: Create and Manage JHAs
Create a JHA, assign the field team, acknowledge hazards and controls, and approve or return the JHA.
- Create and Manage JHA
  Create a JHA, assign the field team, record work acknowledgement, and submit the validated hazards and controls for approval.
  - Raise a JHA
    Create a new Job Hazard Analysis from a predefined template, defining job steps, hazards, and control measures.
  - Raise a JHA (Mobile)
    Raise a JHA from Mobile by defining the job, selecting the template, and submitting the hazards and controls for assignment.
  - Assign JHA
    After a JHA is submitted, it moves to the Assign stage. At this stage, the JHA Owner assigns the JHA Team responsible for field validation.
  - Assign the JHA Team (Mobile)
    Assign the required field participants so they can review and acknowledge the JHA before approval.
  - Work Acknowledgement
    Assigned team members must review the JHA and acknowledge the defined hazards and control measures before work begins.
  - Complete Work Acknowledgement (Mobile)
    Work acknowledgement confirms that all assigned team members have reviewed and understood the job steps, associated hazards, and required control measures before executing the task.
  - Approve or Revert JHA
    Once all assigned team members complete field validation and Work Acknowledgement, the JHA moves to the Approve stage.
  - Approve, Revert, or Reject a JHA (Mobile)
    After field acknowledgement, approve the JHA, return it for correction, or reject it when the supported conditions apply.
Part VI: Monitor and Audit
Monitor permit expiry and extensions, review retained evidence, access archives, and resolve execution or synchronization issues.
Part VII: Design and Configure (Administrator / Template Author)
Design and publish Permit, JHA, and Form templates and configure the list views shown to users.

Create and Manage JHA

Create a JHA, assign the field team, record work acknowledgement, and submit the validated hazards and controls for approval.

JHA Workflow

The normal path is Raise → Assign Team → Work Acknowledgement → Approve.

After Raise, the JHA Owner assigns the field team.
After Assignment, team members review and acknowledge the job steps, hazards, and controls.
After all required acknowledgements, the JHA Owner or Approver approves, reverts, or rejects the JHA.
After approval, return to the linked permit or work activity.

Web and Mobile topics are parallel ways to perform a stage; they are not consecutive steps.

JHA is integrated with the Permit-to-Work process. When a permit requires a JHA, the permit cannot proceed to authorization until the linked JHA is approved. This adds a formal review of hazard identification and risk controls before the permit is issued and work begins.

JHA follows a defined lifecycle to ensure hazards are reviewed and acknowledged before work execution.

A JHA typically goes through the following stages:

Initiate → Assign → In Progress → Approve

At each stage, different users (such as Requester, JHA Owner, or JHA Team) perform specific actions to ensure hazards are properly evaluated and controlled.

Refer to Section Role-Based Permissions for detailed information on which roles can initiate, assign, and approve JHAs.
