Transform your permit process from paper chaos into a controlled, traceable, real-time safety workflow.

📝

Digital Permit Creation

Create hot work, cold work, confined space, and electrical permits digitally with pre-built templates and risk assessments.

✅

Approval Workflows

Route permits through the right approvers — operations, maintenance, safety, and fire watch — with notifications and escalation.

🔒

Isolation Management

Track every isolation point, valve, breaker, and lock with linked procedures, photos, and verification sign-offs.

💨

Gas Testing & Atmospherics

Record and trend gas test readings directly in the permit. Automatic pass/fail logic and retest reminders.

📡

Real-Time Status Boards

Control room dashboards show every active permit, its location, risk level, and time remaining at a glance.

📁

Full Audit Trail

Every action, approval, extension, and cancellation is timestamped and recorded for regulatory audits and investigations.

The live PTWIQ platform — digital permit-to-work with real-time status tracking, isolation management, and safety compliance dashboards.

Case Studies

Real facilities that replaced paper permits with digital safety workflows — and saw immediate improvements in speed, compliance, and safety outcomes.

Oil & Gas Refining

Refinery Cuts Permit Time from 4 Hours to 45 Minutes

A large refinery issued 200+ hot work permits per month — all on paper. The average time from request to approved permit was 4 hours. Lost permits and expired permits were creating real safety exposure.

PTWIQ replaced paper with digital permit templates, automatic approval routing to operations and safety, real-time status boards in the control room, and expiration alerts before permits lapsed.

Results after 6 months:

Permit issuance time down from 4 hours to 45 minutes. Zero lost permits. Safety incidents during hot work down 80%. Permit backlog eliminated.

Chemical Processing

Chemical Plant Passes OSHA VPP with Commendation

An OSHA VPP Star audit was pending, but the facility had incomplete paper permit records, missing isolation verifications, and no photo documentation of gas tests or lockouts.

PTWIQ introduced digital permits with mandatory photo verification, automatic isolation checklists, and a complete audit trail with timestamps for every action.

Results after 5 months:

VPP audit passed with commendation. 100% isolation verification documented. Audit prep time reduced from 2 weeks to 1 day.

Construction / EPC

Contractor Manages 500 Permits Across 12 Sites

A major construction project peaked at 500+ active permits across 12 work sites. The paper system was impossible to track, permit conflicts caused delays, and safety officers were overwhelmed.

PTWIQ provided a centralized digital permit board, site-specific templates, automatic conflict detection for overlapping work, and one-click extension requests.

Results after 8 months:

Permit conflicts eliminated. Project delays from permit issues cut by 85%. Safety officer productivity up 3x — one person now manages what used to take three.

Mining

Mining Operation Replaces Lost Paper with Digital

Underground and surface mining operations used paper permits that were regularly lost to mud, wind, and water. The control room had no visibility into active permits, and permit extensions were frequently missed.

PTWIQ deployed on rugged tablets with offline capability, giving the control room a real-time dashboard and sending automatic extension reminders before permits expired.

Results after 4 months:

100% permit visibility in the control room. Zero lost permits. Permit extension compliance up to 98%. Underground supervisors no longer carry binders.

Common Use Cases

How safety and operations teams use PTWIQ to control risk and maintain compliance.

🔒

Isolation & Lock-Out/Tag-Out

Record every isolation point, valve, breaker, and lock with linked procedures, photos, and verification sign-offs.

💨

Gas Testing & Atmospheric Monitoring

Record gas test readings directly in the permit. Automatic pass/fail logic and retest reminders keep workers safe.

🏗

Construction Site Safety Coordination

Manage hundreds of concurrent permits across multiple work fronts with conflict detection and real-time status boards.
