Hot Work and Confined Space permits built right into your safety system. RAMS-linked. Fire watch timer enforced. Audit-ready PDFs. No more paper forms.
Full Pro features during trial. No credit card required.
Lost forms, missed fire watches, no audit trail when the HSE turns up.
Paper permits go missing. No version history, no signing trail, no defence if the HSE audits.
Post-work fire watch is a legal requirement but easy to skip when no one is tracking elapsed time. Fires start hours after the welding stops.
Dedicated PTW systems charge £50–100/month and don't talk to your RAMS. Hazards get re-typed. PPE gets missed.
Hot work and confined space are where the serious injuries happen. swiftRMS handles both with workflow tuned to the actual risk.
Welding, cutting, grinding, soldering, torch-on roofing. Fire watch timer enforces the post-work watch window before sign-off.
Tanks, manholes, sewers, ducts, deep excavations. Capture ventilation method, communication plan, and rescue arrangements upfront.
Four steps. Every signature captured. Every expiry automated.
Pick a type, select the project and linked RAMS, assign the operative. Hazards, PPE, and site location auto-fill from the approved RAMS.
Assigned operative reviews conditions and signs acceptance. Email notification sent automatically. Only the assigned operative (or a manager+) can accept.
Fire watch timer counts down for hot work. Sign-off blocked until duration met. Rescue plan and ventilation locked in before start for confined space.
Every signature stored with IP, timestamp, role. Permit auto-expires on validity window. PDF export ready for HSE or insurance.
Select a project and linked RAMS when issuing the permit. Hazards, control measures, PPE, and site location copy across automatically. Operatives get a permit that actually matches the risk assessment they've been briefed on — not a generic form with the same hazards every time.
No separate PTW subscription. No extra integration. Permits, RAMS, COSHH, SSOW, projects, and team audit trail all in one platform for £149/month for up to 10 users.
Phase 1 covers the two highest-risk categories: Hot Work (welding, cutting, grinding, soldering, torch-on roofing) and Confined Space (manholes, tanks, sewers, deep excavations, ducts). More types — working at height, excavation, electrical — are on the roadmap.
Permits live alongside your RAMS and projects, so linked hazards, PPE, and site location auto-fill from the approved RAMS. You get a full digital audit trail with IP-captured signatures, a real-time fire watch timer, rescue plan and ventilation capture for confined space, and permits auto-expire when the validity window ends. Paper permits do none of this.
Yes. Every permit can be exported as a PDF with the full permit details, signing trail, and HSWA disclaimer. Pin it up at the point of work or issue it to the operative's phone.
Supervisors, managers, owners, and admins can issue. The assigned operative (or a manager+) accepts. Roles are set on your team page. Every signature is captured with IP address, timestamp, and user role for an audit-defensible trail.
A background job runs every 15 minutes and automatically flips permits past their valid_to datetime to an expired state. No one can accidentally work under an out-of-date permit.
Permit to Work is included on Business (£149/month) and Enterprise (£249/month) plans. Pro plan is focused on RAMS generation for individual contractors. The upgrade path is one click from your billing settings.
14-day free trial, full Business features, no credit card. Your first permit takes under 2 minutes.
