Paper permits put your people — and your business — at risk.

Lost forms, illegible signatures, expired documents, and zero visibility into what is happening on site right now.

📋
Lost or Illegible Permits
Paper permits get lost, wet, torn, or unreadable. When an inspector asks for documentation, you need to produce it — not explain why you can't find it.
👁️
No Real-Time Visibility
Nobody knows what permits are active right now, who is in a confined space, or whether the fire watch has been relieved. Until something goes wrong.
⚖️
Compliance Gaps
SANS standards require specific controls, signatures, and audit trails. Paper systems make it easy to skip steps and impossible to prove you didn't.

Everything your safety team needs. Nothing they don't.

Designed from the ground up for South African industrial operations. Every feature addresses a real problem your team faces every day.

🗺️
Smart Area Profiles
Select a work area and the system auto-loads mandatory controls, preconditions, and safety requirements. Transformer Room, Confined Space, Roof, Substation — each pre-configured.
✍️
Digital Signatures
Issuer, Acceptor, and Authorising Manager signatures captured digitally — drawn or typed. Timestamped, tamper-evident, permanently attached to the permit record.
📄
Professional PDF Output
Generate a complete, professionally formatted permit with your company logo, all sections, signatures, and compliance checklists — ready for printing or digital filing.
🏢
Contractor Management
Track contractor safety files, insurance documents, and compliance status. Blocks permit creation for contractors with expired documentation.
⚠️
SIMOPS Detection
Automatically detects simultaneous operations conflicts — when two permits overlap in the same area and time, the system flags it and requires acknowledgement before proceeding.
📊
Live Dashboard
Real-time visibility of all active, pending, and closed permits. Filter by type, area, status, or contractor. Know exactly what is happening on your site at any moment.
🔒
Role-Based Access
Applicant, Issuer, Authorising Manager, Safety Officer, and Administrator roles — each with appropriate access levels. Only qualified users can issue or authorise permits.
🔄
Full Lifecycle Management
Issue, activate, suspend, close, and archive permits through a structured workflow. Every status change is logged with the user, timestamp, and reason.
💾
Backup & Restore
Export your complete permit register as JSON or CSV at any time. Restore on any machine. Your data is never locked into a cloud subscription you don't control.

Every high-risk activity covered.

Each permit type includes its own dedicated form, hazard library, PPE requirements, and compliance checklist — built to the specific requirements of that work category.
