Contractors are increasingly being used for a wide range of activities from installation of plant and equipment to the service and maintenance of equipment. The employer retains responsibility for the health and safety of contractors and sub-contractors. It is therefore important to ensure that they do not create unnecessary risks to themselves, to direct employees or to the public, whilst employed.
To ensure that health and safety is properly managed throughout any contract let, contractors are issued with a permit to work which details the work to be carried out, identifies the hazards and risks involved, and the sequence of precautions, which must be adhered to.
Whether you are implementing a new system, expanding operations, or seeking to move an existing process to an electronic system, Interflex Permit to Work will produce, maintain and control the safe and effective issue of Permit to Work by Facilities, Safety and Maintenance management departments.
| Interflex Permit to Work is a simple to use contractor management software package that issues contractor passes and ID badges. It facilitates the reservation of contractors, preventing 'non-approved' contractors from being booked, and monitors the entire process of the contract; from who is due onsite, to what project/task they are working on and whether they have the correct permits and insurances. All contractor movements are recorded and monitored, alarming when permits are overdue, whilst maintaining a comprehensive fire register. The reporting facility provides comprehensive and instant information on the contractor, date and time not only for security, health and safety purposes but to ensure invoices are accurate and not overcharged. |

The Interflex Permit to Work system is suited to both basic and complex applications. With its modular functionality, it can be developed to suit individual requirements.
