Still Using Paper Permit Books?

Paper permits get lost, approvals are delayed, and you cannot prove compliance when an inspector visits. Here is what changes with PermitPad.

Before PermitPad

  • Carbon-copy permit books left in the site cabin
  • Chasing the supervisor across site for a signature
  • No audit trail when HSE asks questions
  • Permits that expire without anyone noticing
  • Rain-smudged, illegible handwriting

After PermitPad

  • Digital permits accessible from any phone or tablet
  • Instant approval notifications — no more chasing
  • Time-stamped audit trail for every permit action
  • Automatic expiry alerts before permits lapse
  • PDF export ready for any inspection
