EcoOnline has launched the global expansion of its ePermits solution, a digital platform designed to manage personnel performing high-risk tasks. The software standardises permit processes, replaces paper-based systems, and ensures only trained, certified workers undertake critical operations.

Trusted by multinational organisations in the UK and Ireland for over 20 years, ePermits now serves clients worldwide. It integrates safety rules, Risk Assessment Method Statements (RAMS), competence checks, and SIMOPS detection to identify hazards and enforce compliance before work begins. The system is mobile-ready, available in over 20 languages, and provides a fully audit-ready, paperless workflow.

Key functionalities include management of complex permit types such as hot work, confined spaces, and isolations, while configurable workflows allow companies to adapt controls without losing standardisation. The software actively blocks progress on tasks until all safety prerequisites are met, enhancing accountability and reducing risks.

Clients report substantial operational gains: managers cut daily permit administration from hours to under ten minutes, while contractor application times fall from 30 minutes to just minutes. Improved transparency allows organisations to track workforce presence and maintain contractor oversight effectively.

Matt Matsui, COO at EcoOnline, stated that digitising the permit-to-work process transforms safety from a reactive checkpoint into a proactive advantage. By embedding regulatory controls throughout the workflow, ePermits drives safer, faster, and more efficient operations across industries where safety-critical errors can have serious consequences.
