Digital Permit to Work with LOTO: Safer High-Risk Operations

High-risk work demands strict control. Paper permits create delays, missing signatures, and unclear status. AIO-ASMS digitizes permit to work and LOTO with traceable approvals and audit-ready records.

What a digital permit should include

Clear scope and location, linked JSA controls, competent approvals, and expiration tracking are the foundation of safe execution. AIO-ASMS enforces these requirements before a permit is issued.

LOTO integration that teams actually use

Energy isolation is captured with detailed steps, isolation points, and verification checks. Teams can generate tags, manage group lockout, and record pre and post work verification in the same workflow.

Permit types supported

Hot work, PTW, confined space entry, live work, and LOTO permits are issued with consistent templates and status visibility. Each permit is linked to its JSA, risk assessment, and supporting evidence.

Why it reduces risk

Digital permits remove ambiguity, speed up approvals, and create a reliable audit trail. Supervisors can see active permits across the facility and intervene before unsafe conditions develop.

Getting started with your templates

Define permit templates, map approval roles, and connect them to your JSA and work request workflows. Once teams are trained, the system drives consistent execution across all shifts.
