FAQ
A Permit to Work (PTW) is a formal process used to control high-risk activities such as hot work, working at height, confined space entry and lifting operations. It ensures risks are assessed, appropriate controls are in place and work is authorised before it starts.
Permit to Work software digitises the process of creating, reviewing, approving, issuing and closing work permits. It replaces paper-based processes with digital permit templates and approval workflows, helping teams improve visibility, maintain accurate records and manage high-risk work more efficiently.
Novade Permit to Work system is used by organisations in high-risk industries around the world, including building construction, infrastructure, energy, utilities and industrial operations. More than one million permits to work are managed on the Novade platform every month, helping teams control high-risk activities, improve visibility and maintain consistent permit-to-work processes across sites and projects.
