What is a good way to manage work permits for high-risk construction activities?

A safe way to manage work permits for high-risk construction activities is to require a permit for tasks such as hot work, work at height, or confined spaces, complete a checklist of controls, get approval from the safety responsible, define validity, and close the permit when work ends.

In Jestor, permits, tasks, and workers are connected, so high-risk work never starts without controls.

Why are permits often skipped?

Permits on paper slow work, so crews skip them. Approvals happen informally.

Controls are missing, and accidents happen in exactly the tasks that needed most care.
