High-risk activities authorised, tracked, and closed in the platform — linked to the job, the asset, and the technician.
In most FM operations, the permit-to-work process exists on paper or in a standalone form system that has no connection to the work order it is meant to authorise. A supervisor issues a hot-work permit for a welding job on the roof. The permit is on paper. The work order is in the CMMS. The technician is in neither system — they are on the roof with a welding torch and a permit that, once signed, has no further tracking. Nobody knows whether the job is still in progress, whether the permit has expired, or whether the post-work clearance was actually completed. Permit-to-work failures are among the most common root causes of serious incidents in facility maintenance environments. The permit process is supposed to be a hard control — a structured check that the work has been properly planned, the hazards have been assessed, and the right precautions are in place. When the permit is a paper form disconnected from the operational record, it becomes a compliance formality rather than a genuine control. Coreziyo Permit-to-Work places the permit inside the same operational platform as the work order it authorises. A work order for a job that requires a permit cannot be started without one. The permit is raised from the work order, linked to the asset, and visible to the FM manager in real time. When the job is complete, the post-work clearance is documented in the platform. The permit record is permanent — not a paper form that was filed and cannot be located three months later.
A permit-to-work system that exists on paper is a control that can be bypassed — not through deliberate dishonesty, but through the natural friction of a process that is not embedded in the work. A technician in a hurry, a supervisor managing multiple jobs simultaneously, a contractor who finds the paper process cumbersome — the paper permit system creates conditions where shortcuts feel manageable until they are not.
Coreziyo’s permit-to-work module makes the permit non-optional because it is built into the workflow. A high-risk job has no start pathway that does not go through a permit. The permit is not a separate form; it is a required step in the work order sequence. That is the difference between a control and a formality.
For GCC FM operators managing contractor-heavy environments — malls, healthcare facilities, government campuses, construction handovers — the permit-to-work system is a daily operational tool, not an audit artefact. Coreziyo treats it accordingly.
What you actually get
Permit types — hot work, confined space, electrical, height, isolation
Standard permit types are pre-configured with the relevant precondition checklists: gas-free certification for confined space, fire-watch requirements for hot work, isolation confirmation for electrical work. Each type enforces the checks appropriate to the hazard before the permit can be issued.
Work order linkage and start-gate control
High-risk work orders are flagged at the point of creation. The assigned technician cannot start the job until a valid permit is issued and active. The permit is not a parallel process — it is a gate in the work order workflow, enforced by the system.
Permit issuer and isolating authority approvals
Permits require authorisation from defined roles — permit issuer, area authority, isolating engineer — before they become valid. Approvals are logged in the platform with timestamps. The chain of authorisation is recorded and auditable, not inferred from who signed a paper form.
Active permit visibility for FM managers
Every active permit is visible to the FM manager in real time — what type, which location, which technician, when it was issued, when it expires. A permit approaching its time limit triggers an alert. No high-risk work runs without the FM team being able to see it.
Post-work clearance and closure evidence
Permit closure requires a post-work inspection — site cleared, services restored, area made safe, equipment signed off. Closure evidence is documented in the platform. The permit record closes alongside the work order, with a complete audit trail from issue to clearance.
How it shows up in real operations
A UAE mall operator managing 600+ contractor activities per month — including regular hot-work in food-court kitchen areas, confined-space entries in underground utility vaults, and electrical isolation for fit-out works — implemented Coreziyo Permit-to-Work to replace a paper-based process that produced, on average, three missing permit records per week. Within the first month of operation, 100% of high-risk permits were linked to work orders and visible in the FM management dashboard. The three-missing-records-per-week figure dropped to zero. The more significant impact was in contractor behaviour. Contractors became aware that permit compliance was now visible and verifiable in real time, not reviewed after the fact. The self-reinforcing dynamic of visible accountability improved adherence without requiring increased supervisor presence on-site.
