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.

- Manage JHA on Web
  The Web Application provides the functionality to manage the complete JHA lifecycle—from raising the JHA to final approval. Users can Raise, Assign, and Approve JHAs through defined stages to ensure hazards are identified, risks are assessed, and appropriate safety controls are validated before work begins.
  - Raise a JHA
  - 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.
  - Work Acknowledgement
    Assigned team members must review the JHA and acknowledge the defined hazards and control measures before work begins.
  - Approve or Revert JHA
    Once all assigned team members complete field validation and Work Acknowledgement, the JHA moves to the Approve stage.
- Manage JHA on Mobile
  The mobile application enables users to manage the complete Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) lifecycle directly from the field. Users can raise JHAs, assign them to responsible teams, acknowledge work steps, and approve or revert requests as required. This ensures hazards are identified, risks are assessed, and appropriate safety controls are validated before work execution.
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.

Raise a JHA

Use this procedure to create a new JHA based on a predefined template. During this process, you define the activity, break it into job steps, and identify hazards and control measures.

The JHA Requestor initiates a JHA by selecting a predefined template and filling in the required details.

To raise a JHA:

Navigate to EHS → JHA from the left navigation panel.
Go to the Request tab and click Request Received.

- Define corresponding Control Measures
- Assign the appropriate Risk Level.
Add Questions.
Upload supporting documents or images and add notes for additional context.
Add new steps or questions as required.
