Work Authorizations

Ensuring the safety of your workers is crucial, so we've developed a tool that provides insight into hazardous work areas and ensures only authorized personnel have access.

With BLR’s Work Authorizations tool, you can easily identify hazards, take steps to reduce the risk of incidents, and safeguard your workers. By consolidating all essential information into one tool, you can increase visibility into companywide permit compliance performance and streamline permit management workflows.

360-degree view of hazards

• Streamline work authorization processes
• Increase visibility into permit status and work hazards
• Automate critical tasks, such as permit renewal
• Increase accountability and oversight
  
  

Efficiently manage hazardous workspaces

• Create, execute, and reassess hazardous work environments
• Build and manage authorizations for hazardous work, including confined space, hot work, and height work
• Track if executions were closed normally or abnormally
• Collect signatures for review and approval
  
  

This tool integrates with BLR’s CAPA tool to further automate work authorization renewal tasks and centralize action items. Plus, you can pull in documents from other tools, such as job hazard analyses and lockout tagout procedures, to ensure your work authorizations contain all key safety information.
