18 August 2025

Live Digital Permit to Work Software

Explore how combining Work Wallet’s Permit to Work system with risk assessment software unlocks loop‑end safety, compliance, and actionable insights. Our live digital permits have transformed the way construction works.

Work Wallet’s Permit to Work System simplifies how businesses manage high-risk tasks by offering a digital way to create, manage, and close permits. When paired with its built-in risk assessment software, the system delivers a powerful all-in-one safety solution.

This integration gives teams a clear process to follow, real-time visibility, and all the essential risk assessment features needed to manage hazards and maintain compliance.

Why Use a Permit to Work System?

A Permit to Work (PTW) system authorises hazardous or non-routine tasks only when all safety conditions are confirmed. It is essential for sectors like:

  • Construction
  • Manufacturing
  • Energy
  • Logistics and transport

Typical high-risk tasks that require a permit include:

  • Hot work
  • Working at height
  • Confined-space entry
  • Electrical work
  • Mechanical isolation

Benefits of a Live Digital Permit System

With Work Wallet, paper-based permits are replaced by a live digital permit system. This gives users access on mobile or desktop and allows for full visibility across sites.

Key benefits include:

  • Real-time tracking of all permit activity
  • Clear dashboards showing open, expiring, and completed permits
  • Reduced paperwork and faster approvals
  • Easy evidence capture, including photos and signatures
  • Automatic PDF generation of authorised permits
  • Instant alerts and reminders for upcoming or overdue permits

Permits can be requested by contractors via a Site Gateway, while managers and safety officers can approve, monitor, and close them with ease.

Integrated Risk Assessment Software: How It Works

Pairing the Permit to Work system with Work Wallet’s risk assessment software ensures that every task begins with hazard evaluation and risk control.

Here’s how they work together:

1. Structured Risk Assessments

Every permit starts with a structured risk assessment, ensuring all hazards are identified, documented, and managed before work begins.

2. Standardised Risk Control

  • Use of templates and risk matrices
  • Built-in forms to ensure consistency
  • Control measures are assigned and tracked

3. Real-Time Monitoring

  • Live tracking of actions and responses
  • Notifications for emerging risks or overdue tasks

4. Strategic Safety Planning

  • Dashboards reveal trends and recurring issues
  • Data-driven improvements can be made across operations

  • Any organisation dealing with high-risk or non-routine tasks

With custom workflows, real-time monitoring, and built-in risk assessment software, it helps create a safer and more efficient working environment.
