Safety module

Permit-to-work control for live site risk

SiteGrip digitises permits from request to closure so main contractors and subcontractors can manage high-risk work with defined approvals, live status control, and complete evidence across the shift.

What teams get with permits

Template-driven permit requests

Create repeatable permit workflows from dynamic safety templates, filtered by module and locked to the right version for each submission.

Controlled status lifecycle

Move permits through draft, requested, approved, active, suspended, closed, expired, or rejected states with clear business rules.

Location-aware coordination

Tie permits to project locations, zones, and work windows so supervisors can see exactly where high-risk activities are happening.

Linked safety evidence

Attach hazards, controls, PPE, emergency procedures, and optional RAMS references so approvals are grounded in site context.

Lifecycle built for site reality

  • Draft for preparing the request before formal submission.
  • Requested when the permit is locked and waiting for reviewer action.
  • Approved once the work is authorised and ready to be activated.
  • Active while the high-risk activity is live on site.
  • Suspended if conditions change and work must pause safely.
  • Closed after handover, inspection outcome, and closure signatures.
  • Expired or rejected when the work window lapses or approval is denied.

Role-based accountability

  • Project teams can view approved permits, while only authorised main contractor and safety roles can approve or reject requests.
  • Subcontractor supervisors can request permits and close out their own work once the area is handed back safe.
  • Every stage records who requested, approved, activated, rejected, or closed the permit.

Approval notifications

  • Approvers receive permit-requested notifications with project, location, work type, and direct review links.
  • Requesters are notified when permits are approved or rejected, with validity windows or rejection reasons included.
  • The workflow keeps communication tied to the permit record instead of email-only side channels.

Live site controls

  • Permit clash rules can be configured per project to reduce conflicting high-risk activities in the same location.
  • Emergency cards can be generated for approved permits and are revoked automatically when permits are closed.
  • Suspension and reactivation support temporary site changes without losing the audit trail.

Governance and assurance

Audit-ready history

Permit numbers, timestamps, approval notes, rejection reasons, closure results, and signature events remain attached to one record throughout the lifecycle.

Permission-led workflow

The documented access matrix keeps approval and closure actions aligned with project role and safety responsibility, not informal site practice.

Green-light compliance

Permits sit alongside inductions and RAMS as part of the SiteGrip gatekeeping model for high-risk work before anyone proceeds on site.

Run permits with clear approvals and closure evidence

Give site managers, safety teams, and subcontractor supervisors one structured system for permit requests, authorisation, live status, and safe handback across every high-risk activity.
