How does Permits work in SignOnSite?

Workers or a Subcontractor Supervisor/Leading Hand may submit a permit request. The site manager then approves the request, and the sender is notified in real-time through the app so they may continue with the job. The workflow also includes ongoing and concluding checks, setting required and optional information at each process stage in a centralised template, and offering suspension, cancellation, rejection, re-submissions, in-progress and close-out workflows.

Q: Do site managers get notified when the permit is about to expire?

All active and issued permits are visible to site managers. When a permit is about to expire, a notification is sent to the site manager. In addition, the briefings tool can notify the workers about any outstanding permits they need to complete.

Permits requested, managed & issued without a trip to the site office.

"It was great finding a workflow that aided collaboration and coordination with the Worker and Site Management team. We were able to save time by having workers engaged in the permits process at the workface without physically coming to the office & where Managers could easily understand the stage of the permit status".

How accurate is SignOnSite's location engine?

As a business our priority is the safety of workers, SignOnSite is not a timesheeting app so we don’t claim to do down-to-the-minute attendance. Our location engine is the most accurate in the market, but we add additional buffers to ensure that you don’t get signed off doing simple things like running out to your car or working on an external wall of the building.
