But it doesn't have to be this way. The Permits extension for Sine Workflows helps you streamline your permits-to-work system and strengthen safety compliance across one or multiple sites.
Digitize paper forms and manual processes, automate time-consuming tasks, and make use of permit-specific features - so you can lighten your workload and improve workplace health and safety.
View, manage, and report on all permits at one or multiple sites from within your digital dashboard. Keep stakeholders in the loop with view access, enhance your control over high-risk activities with permit-specific features.
Save time, enhance productivity, and help reduce unplanned downtime. Digitize and automate manual permits processes and make it easier for permits to be approved before contractors arrive on site.
Standardize, strengthen, and integrate processes, and create systems that support your safety goals. Make proving compliance easier and faster with auto-created activity logs for each permit.
The Permits extension builds on standard Workflows capabilities with a multi-stage format and features designed specifically for the digitization of safety permits.
The Permits extension allows you to edit a request, response and closure form. The multi-stage format allows for additional Workflow statuses including 'sign off pending' and 'complete'.
MULTI-WORKER FEATURE
Streamline administrative tasks and help ensure that only authorized contractors and their workers are allowed on site with the ability to add or remove individual workers to a permit at any stage throughout the permit lifecycle.
.Instantly close or re-open a safety permit from within the dashboard when circumstances change, with the option to update impacted workers via SMS or email. View status changes, and help prove compliance with status change detail included within permit-specific audit logs.
.ENHANCED CONTROL OVER HIGH-RISK WORK SCHEDULING
Provide administrators with control over permit duration and the site/s that a permit applies to, and give them the option of automating or requiring manual permit closure when an activity is complete.
.Make it harder to click 'approve' without first ensuring that all requirements have been met. Customize and add a mandatory approval checklist to each safety permit, with submissions unable to be approved until all checkboxes have been ticked.
.CENTRALIZE PERMITS DATA
View safety permits data and activity logs across one or multiple sites from within your dashboard. Filter, search, and download data, and be better prepared to prove compliance when an incident occurs.
.Digitize safety permit requests and submissions so contractors can request, fill in, submit permits - and have them approved - before they come to site.
