Work Permit Management Module

Module Overview

The mai™ Work Permit Management Module helps teams issue, approve, and monitor permits for high-risk tasks across safety, environmental, and quality operations — all within a single, digital platform. It ensures that only competent, authorised personnel perform hazardous work, and that every job begins with the proper controls in place.

Offered by EHS International, led by respected EHS specialist Chris Mee, in partnership with EHA Soft, providers of best-in-class EHS and ISO compliance software, this module is part of a fully integrated approach to workplace safety and operational control.

The Problem

Still juggling paper-based permits or scattered email approvals?
Lost track of who’s cleared to work — or whether a task has been risk-assessed properly?
Without a centralised permit system, it’s difficult to maintain compliance, ensure safe coordination, and prevent dangerous oversights.

How It Works

With the mai™ digital work permit system, permits can be requested, reviewed, and approved through a streamlined workflow. Teams select from customisable templates — such as hot work, confined space, or working at height — and attach essential documents like RAMS, isolation procedures, or checklists. Everything can be managed on-site or remotely using the mai™ mobile app, even in low-connectivity areas.

Key Capabilities

  • Create and customise permit templates for hot work, confined space, working at height, and more

  • Define multi-stage approval workflows with digital sign-off and audit trail

  • Attach RAMS, isolation protocols, and other supporting documentation

  • Approve, monitor, and close permits via mobile — even offline in the field

  • Track permit status across locations using real-time dashboards

  • Receive automated alerts for permits pending approval or nearing expiry

Why It Matters

When permit management is digital, transparent, and tightly controlled, teams work smarter and safer. The mai™ Work Permit Management Module reduces administrative burden, supports regulatory compliance, and ensures that no job begins without appropriate safety measures in place. From routine maintenance to shutdowns, you stay in control.

Where It Fits

This module integrates seamlessly with other mai™ tools — including Contractor Management, Risk Assessment, and Training & Competency — so that permits are only issued to trained, authorised personnel and are always backed by the correct risk controls.
