The Hot Work Permit is a critical part of any Safe System of Work, and needs to be strictly managed and monitored to protect anyone working with open flames or heat, whilst providing a watertight audit trail.
Our industry-standard Hot Work Permit app allows your SPCO to ensure that permits only go live once exhaustive details about hazards, equipment and working methods have been approved, including electronically signed SSoW and RAMS declarations.
Our Hot Work Permit app is based on industry-standards used by construction giants such as Network Rail and Siemens. It comes fully-built and ready to be deployed to your entire workforce – all you need is a Nutshell subscription.
Nutshell makes it incredibly quick and easy to customise this mobile app to your organisation.
Not just the colours and logos either – you can change everything about it, from the information you capture to the entire tracking and sign-off workflow.
If you’d like this app integrated with the rest of your back-office software, that’s easy too. Nutshell comes with a range of plug n’ play connectors to back-office products such as MS Office 365.
Send your details to our Customer Success team today and someone will be in touch soon to show you the app in action and provide information on Nutshell’s subscriptions.
