This feature enables you to create work permits mandated by regulatory agencies to be followed by operations, maintenance and safety personnel during maintenance of assets which require work permits before the assets can be repaired.

You can create isolations and work clearances in addition to work permits. An isolation represents a standard procedure to isolate an asset from its surroundings when it is to be repaired. It contains the steps and details required to isolate the asset before maintenance technicians carry out repair work (the Establishment), and also contains the steps to place the asset back in working condition after they have performed the repair work (the Re-establishment). You can associate additional assets to an isolation.

A work clearance represents the actual tasks of establishment and re-establishment to be performed during a specific period while maintaining the asset. You can use isolations to derive the establishment and re-establishment steps included in a work clearance or enter them manually.

You can associate a work order with permits and work clearances to record the complete safety information while performing repair work on assets which have safety requirements.
