Shipyard Work Permits (PTW)

Menu: Marine › Shipyard Work Permits (PTW)Package: Marine

Shipyard Work Permits (PTW) manages the written permits taken before hazardous work on a vessel: Hot work, Confined space entry, Work at height and Electrical isolation. A permit is tied to a Marine work order, opens as a draft and becomes valid when the OHS specialist approves it. Hot work and confined space permits must be linked to a valid gas-free certificate (see Gas Measurement & Gas-Free Certificates).

If an open permit is tied to a work order, these are checked when the work order is started: the permit must be approved and be inside its window now; for hot work a fire watcher is required and a Safe for hot work certificate must be valid; for confined space a Safe for entry (or safe for hot work) certificate must be valid. A work order with a cancelled permit cannot be approved or started without an approved substitute permit. Permits are never deleted; cancelling and closing are status changes.
