This activity is used to approve a permit. Permits are used as safety regulations so that the maintenance work in the facility can be performed under safe conditions. The permit guarantees that personnel safety is upheld. A permit can have many isolation orders connected to it, and a permit can be valid for several work orders. A work order can have many permits. The permit does not contain any information about the equipment, but is merely a certification that work can start.
An approved permit does not usually require a revision, however if such a requirement does arise you can revise it by changing the status to UnderPreparation (in the commands, click on Status and click Revise). When the revision has been made you can once again approve the permit.
In addition, a permit with the PreparationApproved status can also be cancelled if required, provided no isolation orders are connected to it. To approved the permit Prepared By, Work Leader, Valid from and Valid to data are required.
As a result of this activity the permit is approved, and will receive the PreparationApproved status.
