The Problems with Paper-Based Permits
Manual permit processes create serious safety gaps. Here's what most organisations are dealing with.
Lost or Incomplete Permits
Paper permits get misplaced, are illegible, or arrive at the worksite missing critical approvals creating liability and safety exposure.
Approval Bottlenecks
Multi-level sign-offs require physical presence of approvers. One absent signatory can halt critical maintenance work for hours.
No Real-Time Visibility
Supervisors have no live view of which permits are active, which isolations are in place, or which jobs are approaching closure deadlines.
Missed Closures & Overruns
Permits expire or run over time without automated alerts. Equipment is re-energised before all workers have signed off, creating serious injury risk.
Audit Trail Gaps
When incidents occur, paper records are incomplete, contradictory, or simply not available making root cause analysis and regulatory reporting difficult.
Inconsistent Enforcement
Without a system, different supervisors apply permit rules differently. High-risk tasks proceed without the required permits or precautions.
Everything You Need for Safe, Controlled Work
Oriens e-PTW covers the full permit lifecycle from creation to closure with the controls and traceability modern operations demand.
Digital Permit Creation
Create structured permits for all high-risk work types confined space, electrical isolation, working at height, cold work, excavation, and more from any device.
The hidden risk in work authorisation
- of serious workplace incidents involve failure to control work permits
- 60%
- of permit violations occur due to poor shift handover and communication
- 40%
- faster permit approval and closure with digital authorisation workflows
- 3x

From Request to Safe Closure in 5 Steps
Oriens e-PTW guides every permit through a structured, auditable lifecycle no step can be skipped, no sign-off bypassed.
Permit Request
The requesting supervisor raises a digital permit for the planned work, selects the permit type, describes the task, and identifies all involved persons and equipment.
Risk Assessment
A structured risk assessment is attached to the permit. Hazards, controls, and required PPE are documented. Isolation requirements are identified and recorded.
Multi-Level Approval
Approvers at each level (Supervisor, Area Owner, HSE Officer) receive instant notifications, review the permit details, and provide digital sign-off from any device.
Active Work Monitoring
The permit is issued to the working team. Real-time status is visible on the control room dashboard. Automatic alerts trigger for extensions, overruns, and safety violations.
Structured Closure
Before work can close, all isolations must be reinstated, the area cleared, and all workers signed off. A final closure audit record is generated automatically.
PTW Connected to Your Entire Operation
Permit to Work works in isolation or as fully embedded within Oriens EAM sharing data with work orders, assets, maintenance schedules, and inventory.
Option A
Oriens e-PTW Standalone
Deploy Oriens e-PTW independently alongside your existing CMMS, ERP, or legacy systems via open REST API no full EAM adoption required.
- Deploys in under 4 weeks
- REST API for CMMS and ERP integration
- Mobile-first works on any device
- SSO and Active Directory support
- Standalone PTW dashboards and reports
Option B
Integrated with Oriens EAM & HSE Modules
↔ Oriens EAM
↔ Oriens HSE Modules
When part of the Oriens platform, e-PTW shares live data with Oriens EAM modules (work orders, assets, inventory) and other Oriens HSE modules (Incident Management, Risk Assessment) eliminating duplicate entry and joining safety workflows end-to-end.
- Permits raised directly from work orders in Oriens EAM
- Isolation points pulled from the Oriens EAM asset register
- PTW overruns automatically trigger incident records in Oriens Incident
- Permit hazard areas pre-loaded from Oriens Risk Assessment
