Why this service matters
Many serious incidents on energy and industrial sites happen when equipment is thought to be isolated but is not, or when two teams work on the same system without knowing about each other. A Permit to Work system and a Lockout/Tagout procedure exist to stop exactly this, but only if they are simple enough to use and strict enough to be trusted.
We design the permit types your site needs — general, hot work, electrical, excavation, confined space, work at height, lifting — with clear roles for the issuer, receiver and area authority. The LOTO procedure defines energy sources, isolation points, lock and tag rules, verification of zero energy and the safe removal of locks, including group isolation for larger jobs.

- Permit to Work procedure with roles and authorisation levels

- Lockout/Tagout procedure with group and personal isolation
