What is a PTW Software?

PTW Software is a digital tool designed to streamline and manage the process of issuing, tracking, and managing permits for hazardous or high-risk work activities. It ensures that all safety protocols and compliance requirements are met before, during, and after the completion of such tasks. By replacing manual processes with a user-friendly platform, PTW software delivers:
  • Increased Safety & Compliance: Ensure all necessary permits are obtained, risk assessments are completed, and safety procedures are followed, reducing accidents and incidents.

  • Enhanced Efficiency: Streamline the entire PTW process from application to authorization and completion, saving time and resources.

Features of Permit to Work Software

Empower your team to focus on what matters most - safe and efficient work execution. Cryotos PTW software simplifies permit creation, streamlines approvals, and empowers informed decision-making.

Permit Issuance and Approval

Permit issuance and approval are crucial aspects of any Permit-to-work (PTW) software. Here's how Cryotos PTW software streamlines this process:

  • Pre-built Templates: Create standardized permit templates for common work types, reducing manual work and ensuring consistency.

  • Dynamic Workflows: Define approval workflows based on permit type, hazard level, or other criteria. Automatically route permits to the right approvers.

  • Data Capture and Pre-population: Capture and store standard work details, equipment lists, and control measures. Pre-populate permit forms with relevant information for faster creation.

  • Automated Notifications: Send automatic notifications to approvers when permits require their attention. Track permit status in real-time.

  • Digital Signatures: Enable digital signatures for approvals, eliminating the need for paper-based approvals and delays.

Cryotos PTW software streamlines permit issuance with templates, workflows, pre-population, notifications, and digital signatures.
Risk Assessment

A strong risk assessment is the foundation of any effective Permit to Work (PTW) process. Cryotos PTW software can significantly enhance this process through the following features:

  • Hazard Libraries: Maintain a comprehensive library of common hazards associated with various work types and equipment. Users can easily select relevant hazards during the permit application.

  • Risk Assessment Prompts: The software can prompt users with questions to help them identify potential hazards specific to the planned work.

  • Job Hazard Analysis (JSA) Integration: Integrate PTW software with JSA tools, allowing users to import identified hazards and control measures from JSAs directly.

Enhance risk assessment with Cryotos PTW software: hazard libraries, risk prompts, and JSA integration for safer operations.
Isolation Management

Cryotos PTW software empowers you to streamline and strengthen isolation procedures with these key features:

  • Isolation Planning: Pre-defined procedures for various equipment types guide users through a step-by-step isolation process, ensuring all necessary points are addressed.

  • Electronic Lock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO): Manage LOTO procedures electronically. Track the issuance and return of LOTO devices assigned to specific isolation points directly within the Cryotos PTW software.

  • Real-time Isolation Status Monitoring: Clear visual indicators on dashboards or mobile apps provide instant visibility into equipment isolation status.

  • Automatic Verification and Alerts:  Enforce mandatory verification steps electronically within the permit workflow. Cryotos PTW can also send automated alerts to relevant personnel when isolation is applied or removed to improve situational awareness.

Streamline isolation with Cryotos PTW: plan, manage LOTO, monitor status, and get alerts for enhanced safety and efficiency.
Job Safety Analysis

JSA is a crucial step in the Permit-to-work process, and Cryotos PTW software can significantly enhance it:

  • Guided JSA Creation: The software can guide users through a structured JSA process, prompting them to identify potential hazards, assess risks, and define appropriate control measures for each work step.

  • Risk Matrix Integration: Integrate the JSA with a configurable risk matrix. Cryotos PTW software can automatically calculate risk scores based on user-selected hazards and their severity/probability levels.

Cryotos PTW software enhances JSA with guided creation and risk matrix integration for better hazard identification and risk assessment.
Workflow Management

Streamline and control the entire Permit to Work process with these key workflow management features:

  • Configurable Workflows: Define customized workflows for different permit types based on hazard level, work location, or other criteria. This ensures the permit goes through the appropriate approval chain.

  • Automated Routing and Notifications: Cryotos PTW software automatically routes permits to designated approvers based on the defined workflow. It can also send automatic notifications to each approver, informing everyone of the approval process.

  • Pre-Requisites and Hold Points: Set prerequisites that must be completed before permit issuance. Additionally, define hold points where work must be paused for re-assessment before proceeding.

Streamline Permit to Work with configurable workflows, automated routing/notifications, and pre-requisites/hold points using Cryotos PTW.

  • Ensure a seamless transition to the PTW stage by linking to relevant forms.

Initiate PTW by documenting work requests, capturing details, and linking to forms for a seamless transition.
Permit to Work (PTW) Form

The central document for recording details and safety protocols for a specific job.

  • Type of Job: Identifie the work nature (hot/cold work) and potential hazards.

  • Safety Measures: Outline essential steps to minimize risks (e.g., equipment checks, briefings, emergency plans).

  • Applicable PPEs: Indicate required personal protective equipment (face shields, helmets, etc.).

  • Supporting Forms: Link to additional documents for LOTO, confined space entry, or SHEC certificates, promoting a holistic safety approach.

PTW Form records job details, hazards, safety measures, PPEs, and links to supporting safety documents for comprehensive safety.
SHEC Certificates

Safety, Health, Environment, and Compliance (SHEC) certificates are mandatory for high-risk tasks (working at heights, confined spaces, etc.). Ensure job assessment before starting and outline specific safety measures needed:

  • Risk Assessment: Detail potential risks, hazards, and mitigation strategies.

  • Access and Rescue Equipment: Identifie necessary equipment (lifelines, harnesses, first-aid kits).

  • Applicant Training: Verify personnel have undergone proper training for the task.

SHEC certificates ensure safety for high-risk tasks with risk assessment, necessary equipment, and trained personnel.
Final Authorizer Approval

An experienced authorizer reviews the completed PTW form to ensure:

  • All safety conditions and requirements are met.

  • No critical safety steps are overlooked.

  • The task is authorized for safe execution.

Document observations, machine status, images, and part use in the Breakdown Closure Form for future maintenance planning.
