🔍 Observations — Workflow
  1. Observe — Any user records an observation (safety, quality or general) with description, severity & photo.
  2. Assign — Safety Manager assigns an Action Owner and sets a target date.
  3. Rectify — Action Owner fixes the hazard, uploads a "after" photo and submits.
  4. Verify — Safety Manager reviews the fix: Approve (closes it) or Reject (sends back for re-work).
  5. Archive — Closed observations move to the archive for record-keeping.

Severity levels: High · Medium · Low


🪪 Permit to Work (PTW) — Workflow

A Permit to Work is a formal written document that authorises high-risk work. No work should begin until an approved permit is in hand.

  1. Raise — Requestor fills the permit (work type, location, dates, hazard assessment, risk controls, PPE, isolation, emergency procedure) and clicks Submit for Approval in one step. Save as Draft keeps a partial permit to finish later.
  2. Approve / Reject — Safety Manager (or Manager) reviews the permit and pins the authorised work location on a map.
    • Approve — Work is authorised. Approved By and timestamp are recorded.
    • Reject — Permit is rejected with comments. Requestor must revise and resubmit.
  3. Pre-Work Checklist — On site, the Requestor completes the work-type checklist and confirms the actual start time; this activates the permit. Their device location is checked against the approved work location — a large gap is flagged (not blocked).
  4. Close — When work is complete, the permit is closed. Site restoration and final sign-off details are captured.

A permit can also be Cancelled by the Requestor (or Manager) at Draft or Submitted stage if the work is no longer required.

Draft → Submitted → Approved → Active → Closed
