1. Raise a Permit Request
When a contractor identifies the need to perform a specific task that requires a permit due to its associated risks (e.g., hot work, confined space entry, electrical work), they can use Cm3 OnSite to fill in a digital permit application form detailing:
- The nature of the work
- Location and timing
- Potential hazards
- Required safety measures
- Personnel involved
2. Work Permit Authorisation
Once submitted, the request is digitally reviewed by authorised personnel (e.g., supervisors, safety officers, permit coordinators). When all safety requirements are confirmed, the PTW is digitally authorised and issued via the contractor’s Cm3 OnSite worker app.
3. Conduct Works
With the PTW authorised, work can commence in accordance with the permit’s conditions and controls.
- Workers must follow all safety procedures and control measures
- The permit is accessible via the Cm3 OnSite worker app and client console
4. Post-Work Checks
After work is completed, a post-work check must be completed in the Cm3 OnSite worker app before normal operations resume. Contractors must confirm:
- The work area is clean, clear, and free from obstructions
- All tools and equipment are removed or safely stored
- No hazards remain that could pose a risk to health and safety
- Systems and equipment are returned to normal operating condition
This can be done via photos and declarations within the Cm3 OnSite worker app.
5. Permit Close Out
Once the post-work check is complete, the PTW can be digitally closed by the authorised personnel via the Cm3 OnSite client console. The PTW is then archived for future reference and compliance audits.
