Raise and close a permit to work
Follow a hot work permit from request to close-out, exactly as a site team would run it during a working day.
Permits → New permit
Raise the permit against the task, not the trade
The requester picks the permit type, the site and area, the exact activity and the window it applies to. Overlapping high-risk work in the same area is flagged before submission.
| Field | Example entry |
|---|---|
| Permit type | Hot Work |
| Site / area | Tower B — Level 7, riser 3 |
| Activity | Welding of pipe supports, 09:00–15:00 |
| Contractor | MEP subcontractor — 4 operatives |
| Conflicts detected | 1 — spray painting permit active on Level 7 |
- Select the permit type and site area
- Set the validity window (permits expire automatically)
- Review any clash warning before submitting
Clash detection is what stops hot work running above a paint or solvent activity.
