Where the money goes

What an iPermit licence pays for beyond your permits

A site's permit system lives on a few records: the permit, who is on it, what is isolated and locked, the gas readings and who went in. iPermit puts those behind a licence counted in named users, with its own screens, mobile app and integrations. Most of the bill is the layer between your people and those records.

group

Tiers counted in named users

The Small tier stops at 10 named users. The eleventh issuer, receiver or isolator moves a site to the US$39,000 tier.

school

Training sold by the course

On the Small and Medium tiers, each online training course is listed at US$1,560. Large and Enterprise include one.

extension

Integrations marked as add-ons

IAMTech's price list marks Active Directory sign-in and an on-premise install as add-ons, alongside the annual licence.

smartphone

Screens and an app for every role

Request, review, approve and sign screens for each role, on desktop and phone. That is the part a database and plain questions replace.

query_stats

Answers limited to its reports

A new question, such as which assets were isolated most this quarter or whose tickets lapse before the shutdown, waits for a report someone builds.

lock

Your safety history in its format

Permits download as PDF. A list of every permit, isolation and ticket in a form you can query is something you ask the vendor for.

What your site gets

The checks that matter, run on records you own

Permits

Permits that will not issue on a missed control

Each permit kind carries what it needs. Issuing refuses until those are in place, and the only way past is a named person accepting it, written on the permit.

  • check Hot work, confined space, electrical, height, excavation, lifting and general, each with its own controls
  • check Clashes caught before issue: hot work in the same area as an open confined space, a lift over work at height
  • check Permits past their time, or running a shift with no handover, on the list every morning
  • check Hot work closed before the fire watch ran its time, flagged for 30 days

Isolations

Every energy point, every lock, every person

An isolation covers one piece of plant and every energy source on it, each with its lock number. It is proved dead before work starts, and it cannot come off while anyone still relies on it.

  • check Points still live on an isolation named by device and energy type
  • check Isolations nobody proved dead, stopped at issue
  • check Personal locks left on by someone who has signed off or whose job has closed
  • check Isolation hours by asset over 90 days: where maintenance keeps going back

Confined spaces

Who is inside, on what air, with whom outside

Gas tests are recorded against limits with their source, and entry is refused on a stale or failed test, with no standby, or for anyone not signed on and ticketed.

  • check Who is inside right now, how long, and their standby, first in every answer
  • check Oxygen and flammable gas limits from the confined spaces standard and code of practice
  • check Tests older than your retest interval flagged, and who took them
  • check An entry log printed per permit, with every reading and every in and out

People and contractors

Tickets checked against the role, not a spreadsheet

Every issuer, receiver, crew member, standby, gas tester and isolator on an open permit is checked against the ticket that role needs, and every contractor against their induction and their company's insurance.

  • check Lapsed tickets on live permits, by person and role
  • check Tickets, inductions and insurance lapsing in the next 30 days, by company
  • check Sign-on refused for a contractor whose induction or insurance has lapsed
  • check A renewal note to each contractor drafted for you, never sent without you

Ask it anything

Ten questions this version answers

These run against the free version today. iPermit has its own reports. The difference here is that you own the records and the rules, and you ask in your own words.

chat_bubble Who is inside a confined space right now, for how long, and who is their standby?
chat_bubble Which personal locks are still on from people who have signed off or whose permit has closed?
chat_bubble Which permits are running on an isolation nobody proved dead, or one that misses an energy point?
chat_bubble Who on today's permits, in any role, holds a lapsed ticket or none at all for the work?
chat_bubble Which contractors on site today have a lapsed induction, and which of their companies has no current insurance?
chat_bubble Which hot work permits are open in the same area as a confined space entry?
chat_bubble Which gas tests are older than our retest interval, and who took them?
chat_bubble Whose tickets, inductions and insurance lapse in the next 30 days, by company?
chat_bubble Which assets did we isolate most in the last 90 days, and for how many hours?
chat_bubble Which hot work permits closed before the fire watch ran its full time?

Switching

How to switch from IAMTech iPermit

A move usually involves exporting and mapping your records, checking the import, then running both systems side by side for a week before you stop using iPermit.

  1. 1

    Request your records

    Ask IAMTech or your administrator for the training matrix and permit register as spreadsheets. iPermit permits can be downloaded as PDFs, but IAMTech does not publish a spreadsheet format, so check what your account allows and ask IAMTech about exporting the register as CSV or Excel. Decide which history you need to bring across, including whether you need closed permits or only the records needed to operate.

  2. 2

    Load people and permits

    Save the training matrix and permit register as CSV if your account can provide them that way, then use the import process to bring them into the new system. It loads people and tickets first, followed by permits. Open permits arrive as requested, not as active permits. They need to be isolated, tested and issued again in the new system, so no one inherits an isolation they did not see applied.

  3. 3

    Review import findings

    Check the import results before relying on the records. Review anything the import flags, and compare the people, tickets and permits with your iPermit records. Pay close attention to fields that did not map cleanly and to information that is missing. Resolve gaps before using the new system to issue permits. Confirm that each open job has the right people and controls recorded, then isolate, test and issue it here.

  4. 4

    Run both systems together

    For a week, raise every new permit in both systems. Compare the live board, the isolations and who is inside at each shift change. Check that the people and tickets on permits match, and that open work, gas tests and handovers are recorded correctly. Use any differences to fix your records or mapping before you depend on the new system alone.

  5. 5

    Stop using iPermit

    When the board, isolations and who is inside match at every shift change, stop raising permits in iPermit. Make sure the team knows which system is now used for new permits and that active work has been checked and reissued in the new system. Keep any iPermit records you still need to retain according to your site's recordkeeping requirements.

construction

Where the real effort goes

The main work is usually mapping your own fields and rules, then deciding how much permit history to bring across. The import uses a training matrix and permit register, but IAMTech does not publish a spreadsheet format, so getting and matching the right columns takes attention. If you have Enterprise DNA run the system, they handle this mapping work with you.

Questions

Instead of IAMTech iPermit, answered

Our crews sign on and test gas on their phones in iPermit. Do we lose that? expand_more

The free version is run by whoever coordinates permits: they record sign-ons, gas readings and entries, and the permit, isolation certificate and entry log print for the job. If your crews work from phones, Enterprise DNA builds a phone screen into your version, with signatures and photos, on the same records.

Is a rule check here a substitute for our permit to work procedure? expand_more

No. It checks what is recorded against the rules your site sets, each with its source: the oxygen and flammable gas limits for entry, standby and rescue before a confined space entry, isolation proved dead before work, tickets for each role. Your procedure, your competent people and your regulator still decide what is safe. What it does is catch the stale gas test and the lock left on before someone relies on them.

How do our records come out of iPermit? expand_more

IAMTech says permits download as PDF, and that iPermit connects to SAP PM, IBM Maximo and other systems through its interface. It does not publish a spreadsheet format. Ask IAMTech or your administrator for the training matrix and the permit register as spreadsheets. Mapping their columns is part of what Enterprise DNA does. Open permits come across as requested, to be isolated, tested and issued again, so nobody inherits an isolation they did not see applied.

What about permits for work we do not have, like asbestos or radiation? expand_more

Permit kinds are a list your site owns. Adding one, with the ticket its crew needs and whether it needs isolation, a gas test, a standby or a fire watch, is a plain request in your own words. The same goes for your gas limits, your fire watch time and which permits must not run side by side.

We are partway through an iPermit licence. When should we switch? expand_more

Use the time left. Set up your plant and isolation points, bring your people and tickets across, then raise every new permit in both for a week. When the board, the isolations and who is inside match at every shift change, stop raising permits in iPermit.
