Work Permits & JSA
Approve high-risk work before it starts, with a clear record of who approved what and when.
High-risk work such as working at height or hot work has to be authorised first. Today that often happens over chat or on paper, with no reliable record. Safetify routes every permit request to an approvals queue, records each decision, and notifies the worker and leadership of the outcome.
What it does
What Permits & JSA covers
Work permit requests
Permit types include Working at Height, Confined Space, Hot Work and Other. A worker requests a permit for a specific site and describes the work.
Approvals queue
Each request goes to the approvals queue in the app. A Supervisor or Company Admin reviews the details and approves, or rejects with a reason.
Clear status at every stage
A permit moves through Requested and Under Review, then becomes Approved or Rejected. It can later be marked Expired or Closed.
Dashboard permit view
The Permits page lists every permit and its status across the company.
Job Safety Analysis library and sign-off
Supervisors prepare a JSA for a high-risk task, and workers sign it off on their phone before they start the work.
Management of Change
Propose a change to site conditions, equipment or procedures, have it reviewed and approved or rejected, and mark it implemented.
HSE Manager sign-off step
An additional HSE Manager approval for certain permit types.
How it works
From first entry to closed record
The steps below follow the module from start to finish, in the order most companies use it.
- 1
Request the permit
On the Home screen, tap Request permit. Choose the type and site, and describe the work.
- 2
Review in the approvals queue
A Supervisor or Company Admin opens the request in Approvals and reviews the details.
- 3
Decide
Approve, or reject with a reason. Every decision is recorded for audit.
- 4
Notify
The worker is told the outcome by push notification and in their inbox. A rejection is also flagged to company leadership.
Who uses it
What each role does with it
Field Worker
Requests permits and checks their status under Permits in the app.
Supervisor
Approves or rejects permit requests in the app, and views permits on the dashboard.
Company Admin
Approves or rejects permit requests in the app, and views permits on the dashboard.
HSE Manager
Views every permit and its status on the dashboard, read-only.
Role access is enforced on the server. HSE Managers are read-only everywhere on the dashboard, and a role only sees what it is allowed to.
Safeguards
Built-in limits and safeguards
- Every approval and rejection is recorded in the audit log.
- New permit requests send a push notification to the people who approve permits.
- Today each permit needs one approval, from a Supervisor or Company Admin.
- Approvals are made in the mobile app. HSE Managers can view permits but cannot approve them.
Scope
What it does not do
Stated plainly, so nothing is bought on a misunderstanding. Items marked as coming soon are on the roadmap, not in the product today.
- Permits are approved in the mobile app's Approvals screen. The dashboard shows permits but does not approve them.
- The HSE Manager sign-off step for certain permit types is not available yet. That is coming soon.
- The JSA library and worker JSA sign-off are not available yet. They are coming soon.
- The Management of Change screen is not available yet. It is coming soon.
