Work at height, hot work and work in confined spaces all require prior authorisation. In practice, paper permits get signed in a rush, filed away in a folder and are hard to find when you need them.
What a permit must include
- Task description, location and working hours.
- Identified risks and control measures.
- Protective equipment (PPE) checked.
- Who authorises the work and who carries it out.
- Permit close-out once the work is finished.
Why digital works better
A digital permit can't get lost, can be approved from a phone and keeps a record of who authorised each job and on what conditions. The site supervision team can also check the project's active permits at any time.
In ConstrAllianz, work permits sit within the project alongside meeting minutes, daily reports and documents, so safety information is right where it's needed.
