Permit to Work Software for Indian Factories

EZEE Portal replaces the paper permit book with a digital permit-to-work system that carries the same discipline a safety officer already applies by hand — the right permit type, the right hazards, the right people signing in the right order — and leaves a timestamped record of all of it.

Nine standard permit types, ready on day one

Every new site starts with a catalogue built against the ISO 45001 baseline, so your team is not designing permits from a blank page. Each type arrives with its own default hazards, mandatory PPE and approval route already attached.

Hot Work Permit — welding, cutting, grinding, brazing and any spark or flame-producing work
Confined Space Entry Permit — tanks, vessels, pits, sewers and other confined spaces
Work at Height Permit — any work where a fall could cause injury
Electrical / LOTO Permit — isolation, lock-out and tag-out of live systems
Excavation Permit — digging, trenching and ground disturbance
Lifting Operation Permit — cranes, hoists and mechanical lifting
Line Breaking Permit — opening process lines carrying chemicals or pressure
Radiography / Radiation Permit — industrial radiography and radiation sources
General / Cold Work Permit — routine low-risk tasks that still need clearance

Three approval workflows, matched to actual risk

Treating a bolt replacement like a confined space entry is how permit systems become paperwork nobody respects. EZEE ships three distinct routes so the weight of the process matches the danger of the job.

Simple Work Clearance — two stages

For routine low-risk tasks. The initiator raises it, a supervisor approves within a four-hour service level, and it closes. Fast enough that people actually use it rather than working around it.

Standard Permit-to-Work — five stages

Raise, issue and authorise, area owner approval, performer acceptance, then closure and hand-back. Every stage captures a digital signature, and the issue and area-owner stages carry four-hour service levels so permits do not sit unattended.

High-Risk Permit-to-Work — eight stages

Adds a Safety and EHS review, a dedicated gas test and atmosphere verification stage, and periodic monitoring while work is live. This is the route automatically applied to hot work, confined space, electrical isolation, line breaking and radiography.

Seven defined roles, so accountability is never ambiguous

A permit is only as good as the clarity of who authorised what. The system separates duties into seven distinct roles rather than collapsing them into a generic "approver".

Permit Initiator — raises the request
Permit Issuer / Authoriser — authorises the work and performs closure
Area Owner / Custodian — approves work in their area
Performer / Co-permittee — accepts the permit before starting
Safety / EHS Officer — reviews high-risk work and conducts periodic monitoring
Authorised Gas Tester — signs the atmosphere verification
Authorised Isolator — executes energy isolation

A hazard and control catalogue that comes with the permit

The system carries 27 hazards, 25 controls and 19 items of PPE, pre-mapped to the permit types they belong to. Raise a confined space entry and oxygen deficiency, toxic gas, flammable atmosphere and stored energy are already listed, with breathing apparatus and a full body harness already mandatory.

This matters because the most common failure of a paper system is not a missing signature — it is a hazard nobody thought to write down at seven in the morning. Defaults close that gap, and your team can still add site-specific hazards on top.

Design your own permits without waiting for a developer

The nine standard types are a starting point, not a ceiling. The built-in permit designer lets your safety team clone any type and reshape it — add fields, change the hazard set, rewrite the approval chain, adjust who must sign.

Sites with unusual processes are the norm in Indian manufacturing, and a permit system that cannot express your actual process gets abandoned within a quarter.

Digital signatures and an audit trail built for inspection

Every stage that requires a signature captures one, with the identity and the timestamp attached. Creation, review, gas test, authorisation, acceptance, monitoring, extension and closure are all recorded in sequence.

When an inspector asks who authorised hot work in the tank farm on a Tuesday in March, the answer takes seconds rather than an afternoon in a filing cabinet.

Each plant keeps its own database

EZEE Portal provisions a separate database per company rather than mixing tenants into shared tables. Your permits, personnel and configuration are physically separate from every other customer, which is usually the first question a plant IT team asks and the one most cloud safety tools answer badly.

Works with your gate, because permits and people are the same problem

Permit-to-work sits alongside the visitor and vehicle modules in the same platform. Contractors arriving for permitted work are the same contractors your security team is checking in at the gate, and keeping those in one system removes the gap where an unpermitted crew walks onto site.

Try it on your own site

A self-service trial provisions a working tenant with the standard catalogue already loaded, so you can run a real process rather than watch a demo.

Frequently asked questions

Which permit types does the system support?

Nine standard types ship ready to use: hot work, confined space entry, work at height, electrical and LOTO, excavation, lifting operations, line breaking, radiography, and general cold work. Each carries default hazards, PPE and an approval route. You can also design additional types for processes specific to your plant.

Does it handle gas testing for confined space and hot work?

Yes. The high-risk workflow includes a dedicated gas test and atmosphere verification stage, signed by an authorised gas tester, before the permit can be issued. It also includes periodic monitoring while the work is live.

Can we change the approval chain to match our plant?

Yes. The permit designer lets your safety team modify workflows, add or remove approval stages, change which role signs at each stage, and set service levels per stage.

Is the audit trail sufficient for a statutory inspection?

Every action is timestamped against a named user, including who raised, reviewed, gas tested, authorised, accepted, monitored and closed each permit. Records are retained and searchable rather than depending on a physical permit book.

How is our data separated from other customers?

Each company is provisioned its own database. Permits, personnel records and configuration are not co-mingled with other tenants in shared tables.

Can we try it before committing?

Yes. A self-service trial provisions a working tenant with the standard permit catalogue already loaded, so you can raise a real permit through a real approval chain rather than watching a demo video.
