PTW Inspections App runs structured PTW inspections across every site. Inspectors complete forms on a phone or tablet, capture photo and voice evidence on each PTW inspections, and raise corrective actions the moment something fails. Managers see PTW inspections compliance status, open issues, and performance across every site in real time.
PTW Inspections App runs a structured permit to work inspection covering permit type matches the task and its hazards, isolations and lock-out or tag-out verified before work, gas testing and atmosphere checks where required, controls, PPE, and rescue arrangements in place, and authorised signatories and competent workers named, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, permit to work findings live on paper and in chat. A permit to work fault such as work started without a valid or signed permit slips through. An audit then means rebuilding permit to work evidence from folders.
PTW Inspections App keeps one record per permit to work and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each permit to work finding is tracked to verified closure. Permit issuers, authorised persons, and safety officers see permit to work completion and overdue actions across the health & safety portfolio. Every permit to work record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a PTW Inspections App?
A comprehensive permit to work inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Digitize PTW inspections with forms, evidence capture, and automated reporting. Your inspection should include sections for permit type matches the task and its hazards, isolations and lock-out or tag-out verified before work, and gas testing and atmosphere checks where required, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every inspection finding is traceable.
How to Use PTW Inspections App
A consistent routine keeps PTW inspections reliable across every site. Follow these steps to run an effective inspection:
Open the assigned PTW inspections template on a phone or tablet and confirm the site, PTW inspections, date, and inspector.
Work through each section, marking items pass or fail and recording the condition of the PTW inspections.
Attach a photo or voice note for any finding, especially work started without a valid or signed permit, incomplete isolation or unproven energy control, an expired permit or scope exceeded on site, a missing gas test or no standby cover.
For every failed PTW inspections item, raise a corrective action with an owner, severity, and due date.
Sign off the PTW inspections form. The PTW inspections report generates automatically and syncs to the multi-site dashboard.
What Does a Permit to Work Inspection Cover?
A permit to work inspection covers permit type matches the task and its hazards, isolations and lock-out or tag-out verified before work, gas testing and atmosphere checks where required, controls, PPE, and rescue arrangements in place, authorised signatories and competent workers named, and time limit, handback, and area reinstatement on completion. Permit issuers, authorised persons, and safety officers capture a photo and a reading on each permit to work point. They work offline where signal is poor, then sign the permit to work round off. So every permit to work record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

How PTW Inspections App Runs a PTW Inspection
Step 1
Define and Deploy
Build the PTW inspections template with objective pass-fail criteria and schedule it to mobile teams.
Step 2
Capture and Verify
Inspectors run the inspection with photo evidence on each finding, such as work started without a valid or signed permit, incomplete isolation or unproven energy control, an expired permit or scope exceeded on site, a missing gas test or no standby cover, and failed items raise corrective actions.
Step 3
Report and Improve
Dashboards built on verified PTW inspections data reveal recurring patterns on the PTW inspections across every site.

What PTW Inspections Teams Fix When Inspections Move Off Paper
PTW Inspections work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems PTW Inspections App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
PTW Inspections issues get logged, then quietly forgotten
A failed item is noted during a routine inspection. Nobody owns it, no date is set, and the next inspection finds the same problem on the same PTW inspections. The PTW inspections issue is logged, not closed.
Problem
Failed PTW inspections items noted but never assigned to anyone
No due date on a PTW inspections fix, so nothing is ever overdue
The PTW inspections fix is marked done with no proof it happened
Solution
Every failed PTW inspections item becomes an owned corrective action
Closure needs a PTW inspections verification photo before sign-off
Overdue actions escalate automatically
PTW Inspections data is scattered across spreadsheets, photos, and chat
Some PTW inspections records sit in Excel, some in a WhatsApp group, some in a folder of photos. There is no single source of truth for the PTW inspections, so every PTW inspections question takes an hour and three people to answer.
Problem
PTW Inspections records split across Excel, chat, and photo folders
No single trusted version of the PTW inspections record
Answering a simple PTW inspections question takes hours
Solution
One system of record for every PTW inspections check and finding
Every PTW inspections photo and action tied to its record
Search any site or PTW inspections and get an answer instantly
PTW Inspections checks signed off on paper with no proof the PTW inspections was actually checked
A PTW inspection is ticked off on a paper form. Weeks later someone asks whether the PTW inspections was actually checked, and whether work started without a valid or signed permit, incomplete isolation or unproven energy control, an expired permit or scope exceeded on site, a missing gas test or no standby cover were looked at. Nobody can say for certain the PTW inspections passed.
Problem
PTW Inspections checks recorded on paper with no evidence attached
No way to confirm work started without a valid or signed permit, incomplete isolation or unproven energy control, an expired permit or scope exceeded on site, a missing gas test or no standby cover were actually inspected
PTW Inspections findings re-keyed into a spreadsheet, with errors and delay
Solution
One digital PTW inspections form with required fields and validation
Photo, GPS, and timestamp on every PTW inspections check
PTW Inspections findings sync to the dashboard, no re-keying
Frequently Asked Questions
What does PTW Inspections App check on a permit to work inspection?
PTW Inspections App runs a structured permit to work inspection covering permit type matches the task and its hazards, isolations and lock-out or tag-out verified before work, gas testing and atmosphere checks where required, controls, PPE, and rescue arrangements in place, and authorised signatories and competent workers named. Each point is captured on mobile with a photo and a reading, and a named inspector signs the round off before it can close. The same template runs on every site, so permit issuers, authorised persons, and safety officers work to one standard rather than a version that drifts between locations. Every record proves what was checked, when, and by whom, so the evidence is ready long before an assessor asks for it.
Which permit to work defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The inspection targets the permit to work failures that matter most: work started without a valid or signed permit, incomplete isolation or unproven energy control, an expired permit or scope exceeded on site, and a missing gas test or no standby cover. Left unchecked, a fault such as work started without a valid or signed permit can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so permit issuers, authorised persons, and safety officers fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.
Which standards does PTW Inspections App support for permit to work?
PTW Inspections App keeps permit to work checks aligned to permit-to-work procedures, ISO 45001, and confined space and hot work standards. The photos and readings each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, permit issuers, authorised persons, and safety officers pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.
Can teams run permit to work checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. PTW Inspections App is offline-first: teams complete permit to work checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So permit issuers, authorised persons, and safety officers get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.
What evidence proves a permit to work inspection was completed?
Every completed permit to work inspection carries signed permit photo, isolation and lock-out photo, and gas test reading record, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, permit issuers, authorised persons, and safety officers can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
