approval_delegation Permit to work software

Control high-risk work before the job starts.

SafeTrakX gives safety managers, supervisors, and field crews a digital permit to work system for requesting, reviewing, approving, executing, and closing hazardous work with defensible evidence.

What it solves

Replace scattered permit paperwork with one controlled PTW workflow.

Permit to work software should do more than store forms. It should enforce review steps, connect permits to hazards and work orders, and make it clear who approved what, when, and under which controls.

Audit-ready evidence

Capture signoffs, photos, field notes, closeout status, and linked corrective actions so your team can prove the work was controlled.

Workflow

A practical permit lifecycle for field execution.

SafeTrakX keeps permit creation, review, work execution, and closeout connected to the rest of your safety system.

  1. Request the permit.
    Define work scope, location, task type, planned timing, crew, equipment, hazards, and supporting documents.
  2. Confirm controls.
    Link FLHA, JSA, LOTO, gas testing, PPE, isolation, barricading, rescue plans, and other safeguards.
  3. Approve before execution.
    Require review by the right authority before work begins, with clear status for pending, approved, suspended, or closed permits.
  4. Close the loop.
    Capture completion notes, exceptions, incidents, observations, and corrective actions before closeout.
