Digital Permit to Work is your front-line method of keeping people safe in high hazard industries. It represents the combination of risk identification, management & control, and communication forming a key component of safe Control of Work.
OpreX™ Control of Work Digital Permit to Work is the foundation of safe work execution, bringing together hazard identification, risk assessment, control measures and workforce communication within a structured digital workflow.
Built on the proven heritage of RA-P4, the OpreX™ Control of Work Permit to Work solution extends beyond traditional permitting by connecting permits with risk assessments, isolations, operations management and field execution in a single integrated platform. This ensures workers, supervisors and operations teams have access to the critical information needed to plan, authorise and execute work safely.
By providing a single source of truth for safety-critical activities, OpreX Control of Work improves workforce engagement, strengthens compliance and helps organisations manage risk more effectively across the complete safe-work lifecycle.
