Construction jobsites are one of the most dangerous places to work with wide range of potential hazards prevailing on any given day. In order to minimise the potential risks and ensure everyone's safety on the jobsite, it is crucial for construction companies to turn to digitalized permit-to-work systems.

 

What is Digitalized Permit-to-Work System?

 

Digitalized permit-to-work systems are software applications that streamline the permit-to-work process in construction and other critical industries like oil and gas, manufacturing, and mining. These advanced systems have replaced the traditional paper-based processes, making it easier for the managers to track as well as approve the work permits,thus, reducing the probability of accidents taking place in the jobsites. The digitalized permit-to-work system generally has features such as automated approval workflows, reporting capabilities, and real-time notifications. These smart systems are designed to improve safety and efficiency on construction sites that helps reduce the risk of accidents and show compliance with the safety regulations.

 

How to Implement a Digitalized Permit-to-Work System in Your Construction Jobsites?

 

The following are the various steps involved in successful implementation of a digitalized permit-to-work system in a construction jobsite:

·         Step 1: EvaluatingYour Existing Permit-to-Work Process:

Prior to the implementation of any new system, it is crucial to evaluate the existing processes and identify the areas of improvement. Therefore, before implementing the digitalized permit-to-work system, it is necessary to take a closer look into the existing permit-to-work process and identify any existing painpoint/ bottleneck that needs to be improved by the digitalized system. Issues may include delayed approval, problems with paper work, or difficulties relating to tracking of permits.

·         Step 2:Choosing the Right System for Your Jobsite:

Once that you have identified the areas of improvement, it is now time to select the right digitalized permit-to-work system that perfectly meets the specific needs of your construction jobsite. In this regard, it is necessary to look for a system that is customizable, is user-friendly, as well as offers features such as real-time notifications, automated approval workflows and reporting capabilities. Example of one such digitalized permit-to-work system is the one offered by viAct.

·         Step 3:Staff Training:

One of the crucial steps before rolling out a new system is to provide comprehensive training to all the staff members who will be using the digitalized permit-to-work system. Staff may include managers, frontline workers, and supervisors. It is highly important to make sure that everyone who is going to use the system understands well how to use it as well as its benefits. On-going training and support is crucial to ensure that everyone uses the system effectively.

·         Step 4:Setting Up the System:

Once the staff is trained, it is now time to set up the digitalized permit-to-work system. It involves creating customised workflows, setting up the approval processes, as well as integrating the system with other relevant tools that are used in the jobsite.

·         Step 5:Launching and Monitoring the System:

Once that the system has been set up and ready to use, it is time to launch it in the construction jobsite. Encouraging all the staff members to use the system as well as providing necessary support to ensure that everyone is using it effectively is crucial at this point. Monitoring the system regularly to identify any issue or areas for improvement is necessary to make the required adjustments.

 

Conclusion

 

It can thus be concluded that implementing a digitalized permit-to-work system in the construction jobsites can help streamline the permit-to-work process as well as reduce the probability of accidents occurring in jobsite. By following the above-mentioned steps and working closely with the system provider can help successful implementation of the digitalized permit-to-work system and in turn help improve safety in the construction jobsites.
