Rapid Permit to Work

Rapid Permit to Work is a cloud system for raising and approving permits for dangerous jobs on site. The maker is Rapid Global, a software firm from Australia focused on workplace health and safety. The system works together with Rapid's products for contractors, inductions and site access.

The main idea is that permits are checked when workers sign in, so only approved people carry out authorised high-risk work.

What Rapid Permit to Work offers

• Permit types: forms for jobs at height, in confined spaces, involving hot work, electrical isolation or digging, and custom forms for other work.
• Automatic approval routing: permits go to the right approver by site and permit type, and low-risk types can clear themselves.
• Crew permits: one responsible worker owns a permit and the rest of the crew sign in and out under it.
• Induction check: a worker's induction status is checked before a permit is granted.
• Audit trail: every status change is time-stamped and stored.
• Mobile access: permits can be raised and approved on desktop or in the Rapid app.

Who it works with

Sites where dangerous work takes place, for example building, mining, factories and facilities management.
