What it often comes down to.

In the words of the people who do the work.

  1. 01

    Work permits go round on paper

    Requests, checks and sign-offs happen on paper. No one sees at a glance what work is running, and where it clashes.

  2. 02

    Bringing in contractors takes weeks

    During a turnaround or a large project, hundreds of external workers come on site. Everyone has to be checked, inducted and scheduled, often within a few weeks.

What it does.

The system proposes. A person decides.

  • Request on a tablet or phone, with set questions for the TRA and LMRA.
  • Checks the certificates of whoever does the work, and clashes with other permits in the same place.
  • Shows what is running at each location now, and records every step.
What the system does
Proposes risks and control measures based on the installation and earlier permits.
A person decides
The authorised issuer approves and issues the permit.

What it looks like.

Every permit handled digitally: requested, checked, issued and closed out.

Energy & chemicalsTRA and LMRANow: Risks are assessed per task on a form, just before work starts.What could be better: Reusing risks instead of writing them down again, with lessons from earlier work included.
