As is the Elisian way, "you asked, we listened" and here it is, our new Permit to Work solution!

Purpose built to support the way you work with a high level of configuration to smooth the transition of adoption.

Our permit to work solution is an industry agnostic software product that is used to control types of work that are potentially hazardous across industries including oil & gas, chemicals, manufacturing, utilities, construction and facilities management.

  • Control high risk activities – this includes hot work (welding, cutting), electrical work,
    confined space entry, isolations, work at height or heavy lifting
  • Manage authorisations – this ensures that the permits are required to be issued,
    reviewed and signed by a competent authority before work commences
  • Manage hazards and controls – in doing so assures that those carrying out the work
    understand the risk and safety measures that are in place in support of the work
  • Coordination of multiple activities – managing multiple job packs within the system
    ensures that conflicts are avoided when different jobs are in progress simultaneously
  • Compliance – this is supported in providing a clear audit trail that shows permits were
    issued, risk assessed, isolations applied where appropriate and that the work was
    completed safely

Key features of the solution include

  • Electronic permits - Elisian’s interactive mapping feature allows users to
    see an overview of all permits in flight across an asset,
    these respective permits can be aware of one another
    to ensure safe implementation under a controlled
    environment.
  • Isolation management - An important aspect of permit to work is the ability to
    identify and isolate areas of an asset to ensure a safe
    working environment that is controlled in accordance
    with the permit and is in place to mitigate risk where
    possible.
  • Risk management - The management of risk is a key feature of the solution
    in that as risks are identified, their respective mitigation
    is encouraged to reduce the risk and address areas of
    concern related to the respective work.
  • Job packs - The job pack functionality supports the linking of
    multiple permits into one body of work so that those
    involved in the implementation of the respective permit
    are provided with awareness of the associated permits
    are work progresses.
  • Work scheduling - Scheduling the implementation of the permit with
    awareness of other permits, either inflight or pending,
    is a key feature of the solution and aids the users in
    planning and assuring safety around an asset.
