Operations: Digital Permits to Work and Step-by-Step Runs
Meet Operations: digital permits to work with gas tests and isolation, an issue gate that stops unready work, and shipboard operations run step by step.
A Permit to Work That Lives on Board
Raise a digital permit for every hazardous job across 15 work categories, from hot work and enclosed space entry to diving. Seven roles sign across six stages, from approval and issuance to handover and closure, and every hold, extension and handoff lands in the permit's history. Enclosed space permits record each person going in and coming out.
No Work Until It Is Safe to Start
Issue is refused until the gas test, isolations, risk assessment, checklist and signatures are all in place, and a red message names each gap. Gas testers record oxygen, flammable gas (LEL), hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide against safe limits, and every isolation point is tagged and verified before the work begins.
Simultaneous Work, Kept Apart
Conflict rules on each permit type block or warn when a permit would run alongside conflicting work, in the same ship section or anywhere on board. Only crew with the override right can go past a warning, and a board shows every active and suspended permit by ship section. At 09:00 each morning, one digest per ship lists the permits about to expire.
Operations Run Step by Step
The office publishes operation definitions, such as bunkering, with stages of instructions, checklists, briefings, risk assessments, permits and sign-offs. The crew run each one stage by stage, ad hoc or from a maintenance job, and the office follows every run from ashore.
114 New KPIs for Permits and Operations
An Operations board joins the KPI board, measuring permit flow, gas testing, enclosed spaces, isolation, signatures, simultaneous work and operation runs across your fleet. That takes the catalog past 650 KPIs.
