Field Validation (for Special Permits)

Perform the required physical site verification before a special permit (such as confined space) can be issued.

Role: Permit Issuer. Platform: Mobile.

Field validation is the final physical verification before a permit can be issued. This stage confirms that actual site conditions match the documented controls.

Follow the steps below to Validate the permit:

Visit the job site in person.
Verify atmospheric conditions against the defined parameters for the permit type.
In the mobile app, open the permit to be validated.
Measure and record all required readings.
Enter the actual readings in the Field Validator section.
Complete field validation and click Submit.
The permit moves to the Issue stage only after successful validation.

The field-validation readings and result are recorded, allowing the permit to proceed when the configured criteria are satisfied.

After successful field validation, the Permit Issuer issues the permit.
