      Important PTW Aspects

      Work Permit Tab

      Where else does the Description of Work field, in the General Permit details, display in the Permit to Work (PTW), in OHS Online?

      Ahh, yes, let's see where this field repeats in the PTW! As mentioned earlier, the Description of Work field is important because it displays in later parts of the PTW.

        How does the specific activities selection work in the Client Specification details of the Work Permit tab, in OHS Online?

          In OHS Online, why are the Permit Issuer and Permit Requester fields so important in the Permit to Work (PTW)?

          That's a great question! The Permit Issuer and Permit Requester fields are important because these two persons are the main signatories of the PTW once it has been completed. In the case of the Permit Issuer this person is likely to be the Contractor Controller (who represents the client) and in the case of the Permit Requester, this person is likely to be the contractor supervisor who is on-site View Full Answer

            Why don't all the details show automatically in some of the Permit to Work (PTW) fields, in OHS Online?

            Ahh, you've raised a very important point here! Good spot! The answer is very simple, there are no relevant details in the associated profile.

When these details are added, they will display correctly.To understan View Full Answer
