Permit Management

Every high-risk task. Every control step. Every approval — locked and logged.

Verbal approvals? Paper forms buried in filing cabinets?

That might fly until someone gets hurt — or a regulator shows up asking questions.

Field1st transforms permit approvals into a fully documented, digitally traceable process that enforces safety before the work begins.

Hot work. Confined space. Energy isolation. Lifting ops.

Every step. Every sign-off. Time-stamped and locked in.

What is Permit Approval Management?

In high-risk work, a permit isn’t just permission — it’s protection.

Field1st ensures every permit follows a strict, enforceable workflow that tracks who created it, what controls were verified, and when it was approved.

Why it Matters

Permit Creation Tied to Risk
Triggers the right permit the second a high-risk task is scheduled.
You plan a confined space entry — Field1st automatically prompts the Confined Space Permit and required controls checklist.
No missed permits. No “I didn’t know we needed that.” It’s all tied to the task, and it’s airtight.
Built-In Validations
Blocks approval until all safety controls and form fields are completed and confirmed.
Missing a fire watch? Didn’t tick the ventilation box? Permit won’t go through. No exceptions.
No rubber stamps. No shortcuts. Only permits that pass full safety checks get approved.
Digital Sign-Offs
Supervisors, safety leads, and third parties can sign from anywhere.
Your safety manager signs from HQ, the contractor signs in the field, and you see both signatures in real time.
Transparent. Trackable. No lost paperwork. Everyone’s held accountable.
Time-Stamped Records

Every permit logs who signed, what was approved, and when/where it happened

You pull up a permit and see: signed by John D, 9:22AM, Sector 3 lift zone.
You’ve got the full story — for auditors, investigators, or internal reviews.
Mobile-First & Searchable
Access permits instantly, from anywhere — even archived ones from months back
Inspector says, “Show me January’s trench permits.” You search “Trench + January.” Done in 3 seconds.
Always ready. Always organized. No more binders, lost files, or panicked last-minute searches.
