No high-risk work without a permit.

Permit to Work issues and controls hot-work, working-at-height and confined-space permits, each with the approval it needs and an expiry it can't outlive — so high-risk work only proceeds when it's authorised.

Switch Permit to Work on from the App Store and it runs alongside SWMS & Risk, Tickets, Properties and Contractors on the shared toolkit: list, board and calendar views, custom fields, import/export and photo attachments.

A contractor requests a permit for a high-risk task; it carries the type, location, controls and a defined validity window. The right person approves it before work starts, the permit expires automatically when the window closes, and the whole authorisation trail is kept against the job in Tickets.

What Permit to Work does

• Permit types — Hot-work, working-at-height and confined-space permits, each with the right fields and controls.
• Approval before work — A permit can't be active until the responsible person approves it — no authorisation, no work.
• Validity & expiry — Each permit has a defined window and expires automatically when it closes.
• Issued to contractors — Permits are raised by and issued to the contractor doing the work, tied to the job.
• Authorisation trail — Who requested, who approved and when — kept on record for WHS audit.
• Linked to the job — Each permit ties to its Tickets work order so the permit and the work stay together.

Frequently asked questions

Can work start before a permit is approved?

No — a permit is gated on approval by the responsible person, so high-risk work can only proceed once it's authorised and within its validity window.

What happens at expiry?

Each permit has a defined window and closes automatically when it ends, with the full request-and-approval trail retained against the job.

How does it work with SWMS?

Permit to Work pairs with SWMS & Risk — the permit authorises the high-risk task while the SWMS sets out the safe method, and both tie to the same Tickets job.

How do I get it?

Switch it on per organisation from the App Store. It works alongside the core registers (Tickets, Properties, Assets, Tenants and Contractors) with the same list, board and calendar views, custom fields and import/export.
