How high-risk work gets authorised

A permit to work is how you authorise dangerous work before it starts. Forsite makes that whole cycle digital. A request is raised against a standardised template, the right people approve or decline it, and the live permit sits against the job with its status and expiry in plain view. High-risk work no longer starts on a verbal say-so.

Permits to Work

Standardised Across Sites

Permit templates built to your requirements make sure the same high-risk work is controlled the same way on every site.

Approvals With Accountability

Requests, approvals and declines are tracked, with notifications to the right people, so nothing waits in an inbox.

A Complete Permit Trail

Every permit's status and history is on record, which makes audits and incident investigations straightforward.

Linked to the Job Itself

Each permit attaches to the job it authorises and carries a validity window. An open permit stays tied to real work on a real site, and its expiry is tracked so an out-of-date permit is not mistaken for a current one.

Permits to Work

Verified at check-in

A permit is only as good as its enforcement at the gate. Because each site's check-in journey verifies permits alongside inductions, a worker arriving for confined-space or hot works can be held until the right permit is approved and still valid. The authorisation and the person on site finally line up.

See what's authorised today

Open your site and see which permits are live and current, and which high-risk jobs are still waiting on sign-off. You know at a glance whether a crew is cleared to start or working without a valid permit.

Set the rules once

Decide what work needs a permit and build the template that controls it, such as hot works and confined-space entry. Every request runs through the same checks, and the approval trail is there when an investigation asks how the work was authorised.

Request from your phone

Raise a permit against the site's template before you arrive, and get notified the moment it is approved or sent back. You know exactly what your crew is cleared to do, so no one turns up for confined-space work without the authorisation in hand.

Consistent control, provable

Every site in your portfolio controls high-risk work the same way, against the same standard. When something goes wrong, you can show that the work was authorised properly, by the right person, rather than hoping a paper trail turns up.

The Problem we're Solving

High-risk work is where a missed step costs the most.

Paper permits are slow to approve, inconsistent between sites, and almost impossible to find when an auditor or an investigation asks who signed off the work.
01
Permits on paper
A signed form on a clipboard tells you nothing once the day ends, and finding the right one months later is guesswork.
02
Every site its own way
With no shared template, hot works is controlled one way on this site and a different way on the next.
03
Stalled or expired
A permit sitting in someone's inbox holds up the job, and one that quietly runs past its window while work continues is worse.
How it Works

How Forsite Makes It Easy

01

Build the template

Define a permit template for each type of high-risk work, such as hot works or confined spaces, with the checks and sign-offs you require.
02

Assign it to your sites

Publish the template and make it available on every site where that work happens, so the same permit runs the same way portfolio-wide.
03

Raise and approve

A worker requests a permit against the template, and the right people are notified to approve or decline it before work starts.
04

Track to expiry

The live permit sits against the job with its status and expiry visible, and the full history stays on record afterwards.
