No verified isolation.
No approval.
No work.

BSL Safety Permit turns the paper permit into a five-step digital workflow. Unknowns stay red until someone checks them on site, and every gate is enforced by the system, not by memory.

How it works

Five steps. Nothing assumed safe.

The same flow works for a mixer crane breakdown, a hot-work job on a ladle car, a confined-space entry into a gas main, or a planned shutdown. Each permit type brings its own hazards, energy sources, checklists and approval chain.

1
Breakdown details
A verified asset ID, the fault, the load on the hook and the crane's position. Anything unknown stays red.
2
Hazard assessment
Hazards pre-load from the asset and area: hot metal, suspended load, DSL electrics, CO gas, SIMOPS. Every hazard is either verified absent or has written controls, plus a JSA and a toolbox talk.
3
Isolation & controls
Only an Isolation Authority can mark an energy source locked and zero-energy verified, with the lock number. Gas tests and worksite checks are recorded here too.
4
Review & authorization
Maintenance, then Operations, Isolation, Safety (when a critical hazard is present) and the Issuer, in order. The requester can't approve their own permit, and nobody signs twice.
5
Execution & closure
Start only within validity. Stop-work in one tap. Expiry auto-suspends. Close-out needs every lock removed and Operations to accept the equipment back.
Demo scenario

Hot metal mixer bay: EOT crane breakdown

The demo data follows a 2×1300 t mixer bay crane that stops with a ladle on the hook.

MXR-CRN-02 HOT METAL MIXER DSL LOCKED Load on hook: verify before approach Zero energy verified · L-2231 SIMOPS: mixer pouring, Ops acknowledged
Built to cut incidents

Safety gates the system won't let you skip

Unknown is not safe

Load, position, hazards and energy start as Unknown and block submission until verified.

Verified LOTO

Only an Isolation Authority can sign zero-energy, with isolation point and lock number.

Separation of duties

Ordered approval chain, no self-approval, no one signs twice. Safety joins for critical hazards.

SIMOPS detection

Two live permits on one asset are flagged, and Operations must acknowledge.

Gas test validity

CO zones need a pass under 2 hours old. A failed retest stops the work automatically.

Validity & expiry

Maximum hours per permit type, one extension, and auto-suspension when time runs out.

Competent people only

Toolbox talk, PPE check, and an expired safety induction blocks the permit.

Stop-work for all

Any user can stop a job. It alerts the issuer and Safety, and logs a report.

Same rules in the portal and on the phone

A secure REST API (JWT, OTP sign-in) drives the Android and iOS app. Every rule lives on the server, so the app can never skip a gate. Shop-floor staff can photograph evidence, record gas readings and raise a stop-work at the crane.
