You can create, review, authorize, issue, execute, and close permits to control work activities and ensure all required safety checks are completed throughout the permit lifecycle.
Create and Manage JHA
Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) helps identify, assess, and control hazards associated with a specific job or activity before work begins. Using configurable templates, you can create, assign, validate, and approve JHAs to ensure risks are properly evaluated and safety controls are in place.
Design and Manage Permit Template
Effective permit template management ensures standardized structure and compliance. Create and configure templates with required sections and fields to support consistent permit creation.
Design and Manage JHA Template
Effective JHA template management ensures standardized hazard identification and risk assessment. Create and configure templates with required sections and fields for consistent execution.
Design and Publish Forms
Effective form management ensures standardized safety checks and compliance. Design and publish forms with required fields and validations for consistent execution.
Track Permit Expiry and Compliance
Permit Expiry Reports provide a consolidated view of permits that have expired or are nearing expiry across shifts and plants. This helps supervisors quickly track permit status, identify potential compliance risks, and take timely action without opening individual permits.
Access Archived Records
Archived record management enables audit and compliance readiness. Access and review past permits and JHAs for traceability and analysis.

Overview of iPermits

iPermits is a digital Permit-to-Work solution that helps teams request, review, approve, execute, and close work permits through a structured workflow. The application includes web and mobile versions.

It replaces paper-based permit processes with a structured, end-to-end digital workflow that improves visibility, coordination, and compliance across operations and maintenance activities.

The iPermits application includes both mobile and web applications.

iPermits Web App

The Web application is primarily used by Supervisors, Safety/EHS teams, and permit authorities to configure templates, review and approve permit requests, manage workloads, and monitor permit status across units and shifts.

iPermits Mobile Application

The Mobile application is used by Technicians and Permit Holders in the field to view assigned permits, review hazards and controls, acknowledge safety requirements, capture site conditions, and perform execution-related actions directly from the work location.

Together, the Web and Mobile applications support a connected permit workflow that keeps information consistent, current, and accessible to all authorized users.

Depending on the permit type and plant configuration, a permit may also require a linked Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) before work begins.

The features, screens, and actions available to a user may vary based on assigned role, plant access, and configured permissions.
