The permit to work ensures that all hazards are identified, risks are analysed and the necessary controls are implemented to protect against an incident. In industrial plants, a great deal of effort is taken to ensure that every permit is adequately planned, prepared, issued and closed off. Where isolations are needed, these are also tightly controlled to ensure there is no chance of any harm from the uncontrolled release of energy. Enhancing the electronic permit to work system An electronic permit to work system like IntelliPERMIT is ideal for controlling work in complex and potentially dangerous environments. But there is always space for improvement. There are several opportunities for enhancing safety when IntelliPERMIT is linked to data from certain external systems, for example, supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA), geographic information systems (GIS) and...Read More
