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.

System | Features

OpreX Control of Work's PtW has been recognised as a leader in digital Permit to Work software and work solutions. Our solution is a comprehensive and easy to use digital Risk Assessment and Permit to Work system built on many years of knowledge and experience. Its unique icon-based design ensures that all rules and controls are easily applied. Its wide range of configurations will adapt to any workflow – proving to be a cost-efficient and easy-to-use safety software. 

The system is built around a large configurable Risk Assessment best practice knowledge base, referred to as the Cortex. It incorporates hundreds of years of first-hand job knowledge identifying and allowing for risk reduction. This information is broken down into categories represented by icons, allowing for simple and speedy navigation.

Digital permits within the permitting process are built around this core. They are designated by site area and are tracked from the initial definition stage right through to permit issue and completion providing layers of safety for all.

All actions taken by users within the control of work system are carefully monitored and controlled. Also, what users can do is based on their competency set up within the system.
