SMART Summit 2013 #4What is IntelliPERMIT?A computer based permit to work system that reduces the risks of working in hazardous environments by ensuring that equipment is correctly isolated and that appropriate measures have been taken to protect workers from hazards. The permit certificate provides proof that the work is authorised and that everything reasonably practicable has been done to mitigate risks to workers and the environment

SMART Summit 2013 #Predictive Hazard Identification (patented technology)Associate safe work rules with hazardsElimination of rote permitsUsers are coached during permit preparationGuidance provided on Business rules (OK, warn, exception, disallow)Powerful isolation managementIsolations are cross referenced and based on your detailed proceduresPowerful key safe and lock management

Extremely flexibleDesigned to fit your processes, not the other way roundSupports multiple permit typesControl competenciesBiometric IDIntegrates easily with plant maintenance systemsContinuous improvementSystem health checksLearning from incidents translate to new or modified rules

Alert, Raise Exception or DisallowWe did not anticipate what a useful training tool IntelliPERMIT would turn out to be. The system serves as a constant reminder of what the correct procedures are Gary Clancy, Operations Manager, Anchor YeastSMART Summit 2013 #

Reminders for refresher training are automatically created for the training department.

Benefits: Control authorisation of work, ensure refresher training is planned and provided, prevent unauthorised persons signing permits, ensure work done by competent persons onlySMART Summit 2013 #Moving permit status from A to BStatus AStatus BSMART Summit 2013 #11Business RulesControlling workflowIsolation proceduresEnforcing safetyNotifications12

Benefits: Improved integrity of signatures, faster processing, no need to maintain passwords
