Permits
Permit-to-work that's fast in the field and tight on compliance.
Issue, approve and track permits to work from any device. Digital permit workflows, approvals, expiry tracking and a live register give supervisors real-time visibility and keep high-risk work controlled.

The problem
Permit-to-work on paper is slow to raise, easy to bypass, and impossible to audit in real time. When high-risk work — hot work, confined space, working at height, isolations — is controlled by a clipboard in a site office, supervisors have no live picture of what's open, who approved it, or what's about to expire.
Built for the way safety actually works
Permits brings permit-to-work into the field on any device. Raise a permit in minutes, route it through the right approvers, and keep high-risk work properly controlled from issue to close-out — without chasing paper between the site and the office.
A live register shows every permit and its status at a glance, with clear visual cues for what's active, pending approval or expired. Multi-step approvals capture accountable sign-off from the right people, and expiry tracking makes sure nothing runs past its window unnoticed.
Because Permits is part of the Horizon suite, it links naturally to hazards, controls and isolations, giving you a connected view of how high-risk work is being managed across all of your sites.
How it works
- 1
Raise a permit
Create a permit-to-work in minutes on any device, capturing the task, hazards and required controls.
- 2
Route for approval
Send it through multi-step approvals so the right authorised people sign off before work starts.
- 3
Work under control
Active permits show on a live register linked to hazards, controls and isolations.
- 4
Track and close out
Expiry and status tracking flags anything pending or overdue, and permits are closed out cleanly.
What it changes
Faster in the field
Raise and approve permits on a phone or tablet instead of walking paper to the site office.
Nothing slips through
Expiry and status tracking surfaces pending approvals and expired permits before they become incidents.
Accountable sign-off
Multi-step approvals capture who authorised high-risk work, when, and against which controls.
Real-time oversight
A live register gives supervisors and managers an instant view across every site.
