The problem

Disconnected permits and safety records leave gaps no one owns

When permits, risk assessments, isolations and incident actions live in separate places, each handover is a chance to lose a control. These are the gaps HSE and operations teams describe most often.

Today

Permits sit apart from the risk assessment

The JHA lives in one file and the permit in another, so approvers sign without seeing the controls they depend on.

With FirstEHS

Approvers see the full permit before they sign

The JHA, isolation points and crew competency sit on the same record as the approval signature.

Permit to work

Today

Isolation and contractor checks are hard to prove

Paper LOTO tags and spreadsheets of certificates cannot show who verified what before the crew started.

With FirstEHS

Only verified crews start work

Contractor competency and fitness status are checked at the gate and carried through shift handover.

Contractor readiness

Today

Findings stop at the report

Near misses are logged but actions lose their owner, so the same condition returns on the next shift.

With FirstEHS

Every finding has an owner and a closeout

A report raised on a phone moves through investigation to a corrective action with one named owner.

Incident and CAPA

Permit to work

One permit record, from request to closeout

Every step adds its decision and evidence to the same permit, signed by a named person in a defined role. Step through it to see who acts and what gets recorded.

Step 1 of 6

Request

Work party / permit requester

The requester raises the permit against a location, asset and task. The linked JHA and the planned work scope are attached before anyone reviews it.

Evidence captured on the permit record

  • Work scope and location
  • Linked JHA
  • Requester name and time

What the next person sees

The reviewer sees exactly what work is planned, where and by whom.

Incident to CAPA

Every safety signal has an owner and an outcome

A report raised on a phone moves through investigation to a corrective action with one named owner. The action closes only when someone records evidence that the fix is in place.

  1. 01

    Report

    Any worker

    Near miss or incident captured on mobile with photos, location and immediate actions taken.

  2. 02

    Investigate

    HSE lead

    Causes, contributing factors and failed controls recorded against the event.

  3. 03

    Assign

    Supervisor

    Each CAPA gets one named owner and a due date that supervisors and HSE can see.

  4. 04

    Verify

    HSE lead

    Closure needs evidence of the fix, and repeat findings are grouped for review.
