Integrated Permit To Work, Risk Assessment & Isolation Management Solution

Managing high-risk work environments requires strict safety measures, yet many organizations still rely on outdated paper-based permits and manual processes. These traditional systems create inefficiencies, increase the likelihood of human error, and limit visibility into worksite risks.

Wolters Kluwer Enablon helps organizations implement best-practice Control of Work solutions to support safer and more efficient operations, helping to reduce operational delays and minimize downtime. By streamlining permit-to-work, risk assessments, and real-time safety controls into a unified platform, our best-in-class Control of Work solution empowers workers and contractors with the tools they need to enhance safety & efficiency. It is trusted by workers every day across Oil & Gas, Energy, Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, and Manufacturing organizations.

  • Are unplanned shutdowns disrupting your operations?
    Unexpected downtime can be costly and disruptive. Organizations can prevent unplanned shutdowns by digitizing permits, automating approval workflows, and ensuring real-time coordination of hazardous work. By improving visibility and reducing bottlenecks, companies can keep operations running smoothly and efficiently.
  • Are you taking the right steps to prevent incidents?
    Preventing incidents requires a proactive approach. Safety tools help organizations identify risks early, enforce critical safety measures, and conduct real-time hazard monitoring. By leveraging automated risk assessments and digital workflows, companies can reduce human error, avoid workplace accidents, and foster a strong safety culture.
  • Are paper permits putting your compliance and safety at risk?
    Regulatory compliance can be complex without proper visibility and documentation. Organizations need standardized safety procedures, auditable workflows, and real-time tracking to meet industry regulations effectively. By leveraging automated reporting and digital signatures, businesses can simplify compliance, minimize regulatory risks, and ensure they are always audit-ready.

End-to-end risk management for your organization

Explore the specialized and market-leading Enablon software applications designed to meet all aspects of your Control of Work needs.

  • Barrier Management
    Barrier management provides a holistic overview of the new (near) real-time state of control measures across site and enterprise. Integrating with various inputs through APIs, Barrier Vision calculates cumulative risk levels, projects these in a heat map on integrated site graphics, and allows operators to take action based on this previously hard-to-access data.
  • Barrier Visualization
    Enablon Barrier Visualization provides an overview of how barrier categories function. Collect relevant barrier data from multiple sources and connect it to a standard barrier model. Then drill down into underlying data to understand the reasons behind degradation and what required actions must be taken.
  • Critical Control Management
    Gain global insight into critical risks and control effectiveness across the enterprise. Monitor control performance over time with inputs from integrated systems and modules. Enforce ownership and accountability of controls at the site and global level. Obtain dynamic snapshots of risk with up-to-date overviews of performance and coverage of controls. Make informed decisions for continuous improvement of critical controls.
  • Contractor Safety
    Manage contractors and related safety issues, and make sure they follow the same safety standards as your organization. Gain visibility over all contractors and contract works, analyze incidents and benchmark contractor safety performance against industry peers.
  • Cumulative Risk Heat Map
    Even at smaller operational facilities, it can be difficult to maintain an ongoing overview of where and when work is being performed. Several permits, MOCs, deviations, and backlog maintenance may be active at the same time and can overlap in the same areas. Even though the individual risk in the job or task may be low, the cumulative risk may be higher in that area.
  • Field Operations
    Enablon’s innovative Field Operations tool allows you to be more productive, better prepared and better informed every day. This advanced SaaS-enabled Shift Management solution has been designed from the ground up with usability and integration in mind. Field Operations enables you to log shift data, share information and monitor processes with ease, ensuring optimal control and visibility within your shifts. Accessible anywhere, at any time.
  • iDiagrams
    Manage your P&IDs plus other schematics like never before. Create isolation plans, view plant information, and define risks and actions directly from the system. Isolation points are visually marked up on your digital P&ID. A fully integrated PTW and isolation management workflow automatically creates isolation and de-isolation plans.
  • Isolation Management
    The fully integrated Isolation Management workflow allows you to prepare and create isolation/de-isolation plans directly from the Enablon system. Equipment, location and pertinent information are all automatically incorporated for unprecedented process compliance.
  • Operational Risk Assessment
    To manage day-to-day hazardous operations, effective risk management is needed to ensure the safety of assets. Enablon's Operational Risk Assessment tracks and manages the overall cumulative risk profile of the installation, ensuring correct mitigations are in place.
  • Permit to Work
    Fully connected Permit to Work software, combining industry-leading PTW with Risk Assessments and easily scalable across global and local enterprises. Easy to integrate with Isolation Management, Non-Permitted Work, Registers, SIMOPs, bidirectional with any MMS system and many other advanced expansions within Control of Work.
  • Risk Management
    Manage the effects of uncertainty on your organizations' objectives. Go beyond compliance and gain a competitive edge by improving operational and business performance through effective risk assessments. Proactively identify and mitigate enterprise and operational risks. Ensure a consistent approach to risk management.
  • Shift Management
    Enablon Shift Management provides a flawless process for capturing, accessing, and analyzing plant events in a user-friendly way. Operators and supervisors can easily perform crucial handovers of information gathered in logbooks collected from various teams.
  • Shutdown & Turnaround
    During shutdown planning, permits and isolation plans can be pre-prepared and marked for shutdown and turnaround. These certificates will be stored in a separate workflow step and are visible in the integrated graphical overview, ensuring full supervision of possible certificate conflicts.
  • Simultaneous Operations
    Safely manage hazardous work with Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPs) that shows real-time warnings of risk levels. An early warning of increased risk levels, based on predictive analysis, advises employees how to respond. The software provides overall monitoring and gives feedback to management.
