Make Permit to Work and Lockout Tagout Easy and Safe
Evelyn Braet
Bram Maho
Permit-to-Work and Lockout/Tagout procedures sit at the heart of safe operations. And with good reason. They connect planning, risk assessment, and execution to make sure that work is done by the right people, in the right place, under the right controls.
But in day-to-day operations, that control can be hard to maintain. Different sites may follow slightly different permit processes. Paper forms can make status and ownership difficult to track. And when multiple jobs overlap in time, location or hazard, the risk can change quickly.
In this on-demand session, we show how TenForce helps you manage Permit to Work and LOTO as one connected flow, from work order and risk assessment to permit approval, isolation, last-minute checks, execution and closure.
In this webinar, you’ll see how to:
- Start from the work itself, using job type and location to identify relevant hazards.
- Use predefined risk libraries to assess hazards and apply the right controls.
- Automatically generate permits based on the risk assessment.
- Link permits to isolation plans and LOTO steps.
- Use templates and job copying to make recurring work easier to prepare.
- Manage last-minute risk assessments on desktop or mobile.
- Respond when new hazards are found before work starts.
- Keep work, permits and isolations in the right sequence.
- Use dashboards, lists, charts and site maps to see what’s happening across your site.
- Support field teams with mobile access while keeping full traceability.
What you’ll see in the demo
Our team walks through a complete Permit to Work and Lockout/Tagout lifecycle in TenForce.
The demo starts with a work order for welding on a tank. From there, you’ll see how the system uses the job category and location to load relevant hazards, define controls and generate the required permits.
You’ll also see how permits move through approval, how isolation plans are created and linked to interactive P&IDs, and how isolation steps are executed and verified. The session shows how TenForce helps prevent work from starting before the right permits and isolations are in place.
The demo also covers what happens when conditions change. During the last-minute risk assessment, a new hazard is identified. TenForce automatically brings the work back into preparation, adds the relevant controls and ensures the permit is reviewed again before work can continue.
To support day-to-day adoption, the session also shows how teams can still generate familiar permit and isolation printouts while managing the full preparation and follow-up digitally.
If you’re looking for a practical, structured way to manage Permit to Work and LOTO, while keeping your teams moving and informed, this session is a good place to start.
