Permit-to-Work Audit Agent

Catch weak permits before work starts or continues.

Permit-to-Work Audit Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

A permit to work is only as safe as the checks behind its signature. This agent reviews permits against the requirements: isolations done, gas tests in range, rescue plans, correct signatures and times. It flags gaps and requests fixes. It re-reviews the permit before the next shift. The engineer approves actions on serious gaps. The agent also looks for patterns, such as the same missing item on the same job type. It keeps the review short and specific, naming the permit, the missing item and the person who can fix it. The engineer sees only the permits that need a decision, not every permit that passed. Edge case: a gas test recorded before the isolation was signed is flagged as out of sequence.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

Read the steps as a list
  1. Shift begins with active permits
  2. Read each active permit
  3. Check isolations, gas tests, rescue plan and signatures
  4. Are all conditions present and in order?If not: List the gaps on the permit. Back to step 2.
  5. Send the fix request to the permit issuer
  6. Wait for the response
  7. Re-review the permit
  8. Are the gaps closed before the next shift?If not: Escalate to the engineer and recommend stopping the work. Back to step 7.

How it decides

It flags a permit when any required check is missing, out of order or out of range.

  • Check that gas tests follow isolation
  • Flag readings outside limits
  • Flag unsigned or expired permits
  • Recommend stop work for open critical items

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Required checks per permit type
  • Gas limits
  • Review timing
  • Stop work rule

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Engineer approves any stop work or enforcement action

Hard limits

  • Never close a permit itself
  • Never ignore a critical gap

It stops when

  • Done: permits pass or work is stopped
  • Stop: a critical gap is found and the engineer is called at once

An example run

What happensA confined space permit shows a gas reading at 08:10 but the isolation is signed at 08:25. The agent flags it as out of sequence and asks the issuer to retest. The retest passes. At the next review, the rescue plan is missing. It escalates and the engineer pauses the job until the plan is added.
