Hold Work

Pause permitted work when conditions no longer support safe execution.

Role: Permit Holder or Technician. Platform: iMaintenance Mobile.

Use this action when site, environmental, equipment, permit, or safety conditions change during execution.

Stop the physical work.
Open the active work or permit and select Hold when that action is available.
Enter the reason for holding the work.
Notify the Permit Issuer or supervisor and follow the site escalation process.
Do not resume until the Permit Issuer has restored the permit to an executable state and the blocking condition is resolved.

The work remains paused and the hold reason is retained with the permit or operation record.

Next: After the blocking condition is resolved and the permit can continue, return to the active work.
