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, also known as an electronic Permit to Work or ePTW system, digitises the process of creating, reviewing, approving, issuing and closing work permits. It replaces paper-based processes with digital permit templates and workflows, helping teams improve visibility, maintain accurate records and manage controlled work more efficiently.
The Novade Permit to Work system is used by organisations in high-risk industries including construction, infrastructure, energy, utilities and industrial operations. More than one million permits are managed on Novade every month across sites and projects worldwide.
