The primary purpose of the Wellsite Permit to Work (WPTW) system is to eliminate or reduce risk. There are several ways through which the Wellsite Digital App makes a high-risk task safer.
WPTW gives written permission to carry out a task
Project managers or supervisors sign off a permit after verifying certain parameters are met. Also, because the permit is continuously updated as tasks are carried out, it serves as a form of evidence or paper trail. Information captured includes the description of the task that was done and the name of the worker(s) involved.
WPTW verifies every aspect of the work is planned and checked
The Wellsite App captures every aspect of the permit and walks personnel through it. This confirms every aspect of the system is adhered to and makes the workplace safer.
WPTW provides a process to support risk assessment
Specific high-risk work needs to go through a risk assessment before action can be carried out. The Wellsite App prevents workers from working on an activity until the risk assessment has been carried out and the necessary changes implemented.
WPTW provides a process for returning the work area to a safe state on completion of the work
Confirming that a workplace is safe to return after the permitted work has been completed is essential. The Wellsite App enables personnel to follow the necessary procedure to return a work area to its original safe state.
