How JHA Connects to the Permit Lifecycle

When a permit requires a JHA, the JHA runs its own lifecycle and the permit cannot be authorized until the linked JHA is approved.

Role: Permit Requester, JHA Requestor, JHA Owner, JHA Team, Permit Authorizer. Platform: Web and Mobile.


Point in the permit lifecycle	What happens to the JHA	Where to continue
The requester raises a permit that requires a JHA	The configured JHA request is initiated as part of the permit workflow.	The JHA Requestor opens the request from the Request tab (Request Received) on the JHA screen and raises the JHA. See Raise a JHA on Web.
Before authorization	The JHA moves through Initiate → Assign → In Progress → Approve.	The JHA Owner assigns the JHA Team, the team completes Work Acknowledgement, and the JHA Owner approves the JHA. See Create and Manage JHA.
Authorize	If the linked JHA is not yet approved, the Permit Authorizer cannot authorize the permit.	After the JHA is approved, the Permit Authorizer continues with Authorize the Permit on Web or Authorize the Permit on Mobile.
JHA is reverted for changes	Team members must re-acknowledge after the changes are made.	See Complete Work Acknowledgement on Web or Complete Work Acknowledgement on Mobile.
