Enter Permit Type

Explanation

Use this activity to connect a permit type to a PM (Preventive Maintenance) Action. A common permit type is Safety Regulations, intended to ensure employee safety. Permits are created and connected to the work order upon generation, and could be printed along with the work order. You can also link permit types used for pure instructions for the PM action.

An isolation can also be connected to the permit type. Isolations describe how a certain part of the facility should be shut down temporarily, so that the specified work can be carried out under safe conditions.
