Biometric electronic permit to work

Biometric Electronic Permit to Work Software

Biometriya SmartPass ePTW for verified permit control in high-risk operations

Biometriya SmartPass ePTW is biometric electronic permit to work software designed for high-risk environments where safety, compliance, and accountability depend on proving that the right worker is performing the right job at the right time in the right location. It connects digital permit validation with biometric identity verification so permit misuse, substitution, expired authorizations, and weak audit trails can be reduced before work begins.

Audit-ready accountability Captures who, what, where, and when for stronger compliance records

Built for Construction, shutdown projects, industrial sites, and other operations that rely on controlled work authorizations

Risk focus Hot work, confined space, work at height, LOTO, excavation, and other high-risk tasks

Core method Biometric identity verification plus digital permit validation with location, time, and prerequisite checks

Deployment model Cloud or on-premise architecture with multi-site scalability and integration flexibility

Industry problem

Why ePTW needs stronger identity control

A permit may be approved, but the wrong worker can still end up performing the job. In high-risk environments, that gap can translate directly into safety incidents, compliance failures, and weak accountability.

Permit misuse and substitution when the authorized person is not the one doing the work.
Expired or invalid permits still being used in the field.
Multiple subcontractors and large workforces increasing control complexity.
Weak audit trails that make incident review and compliance reporting difficult.

Wrong worker Permit approved, but executed by someone else

Permit misuse Substitution and manual loopholes weaken control

Expired authorization Old or invalid permits remain in circulation

Audit weakness Limited traceability after the work has started

Core concept

Face = who. Permit = what. System = where and when.

SmartPass ePTW is built around one simple but powerful operational model: verify the worker biometrically, validate the permit digitally, and enforce the decision in context.

Face confirms WHO is standing at the checkpoint.
The permit confirms WHAT task is authorized.
The system confirms WHERE and WHEN the work can proceed.
No identity means no work authorization for the task at hand.

Complete permit lifecycle

Control work from planning through safe closure

SmartPass ePTW brings each permit stage into one accountable workflow, helping operations teams coordinate people, hazards, approvals, field conditions, and evidence throughout the life of the job.

1 Plan

Define the work scope, location, responsible team, and operating boundaries before the permit is raised.

2 Assess

Record hazards, required controls, supporting certificates, and workforce readiness for the task.

3 Coordinate

Identify simultaneous or conflicting activities and align the teams affected by the work.

4 Approve

Route the permit through the correct authorities with clear responsibility and a traceable decision history.

5 Validate

Confirm the worker, permit, location, timing, and site conditions in the field before work starts.

6 Control

Manage handovers, extensions, suspensions, and revalidation as site conditions or shifts change.

7 Close

Verify completion, remove temporary controls, and return the area or equipment to a safe operating state.

8 Learn

Use permit history, exceptions, and operational trends to strengthen future planning and risk control.

Field workflow

How inspection works in the field

The deck describes a straightforward field workflow designed for fast decisions and low operational friction even in demanding environments.

1 Inspector scans face

Capture begins at the checkpoint using the mobile inspector workflow.

2 1:N identification

The system identifies the worker against enrolled profiles.

3 Fetch permits

Authorized work and worker profile data are retrieved immediately.

4 Check validity and prerequisites

Permit scope, location, timing, training, and compliance are checked.

5 Decision is returned

The inspector receives a simple outcome they can act on fast.

6 Action and audit log

Every result is captured for traceability and compliance review.

Decision engine

Simple field decisions with clear color logic

Green Authorized and valid

Amber Warning or conditional issue

Red Unauthorized or not allowed

That fast decision model helps inspectors move from identification to action without relying on manual interpretation in the middle of a hazardous operation.

Pre-requisite checks

No compliance means no work

SmartPass ePTW is not only checking whether a permit exists. It is also designed to confirm whether the worker is actually ready and cleared to perform the task.

Training validity
Medical fitness
PPE compliance
Toolbox talk completion
Supervisor approval
LOTO and gas test status

Inspector app and capabilities

Built for rugged field use and fast inspections

The mobile inspector layer is a major part of the solution story. It is meant to work in the field, not only in a control room.

Offline support for remote and connectivity-limited sites.
Fast response for checkpoint decisions that cannot wait.
Rugged devices for industrial and construction use.
Multi-language interface for workforce diversity.
Easy UI for faster adoption by inspectors and supervisors.
Liveness detection, GPS logging, photo/video capture, and digital signatures for stronger field evidence.

Architecture and integration

Scalable architecture for cloud, on-premise, and multi-site deployment

The architecture slides describe a system that can run locally in the field while staying connected to a broader enterprise or project environment.

Mobile app ↔ local cache ↔ backend for resilient field operation.
Backend ↔ permit engine for centralized decision logic and permit validation.
Cloud or on-premise models depending on site and policy requirements.
Multi-site scalability for large projects and distributed operations.
Integration options for HR/ERP, access control, ePTW systems, and CCTV systems.

Use cases

Where SmartPass ePTW fits best

Configure permit workflows for common high-risk tasks and the supporting certificates, checks, and approvals each activity requires.

Hot work Control welding, cutting, grinding, and other ignition-producing activities.

Confined space Confirm authorization, entry conditions, standby arrangements, and supporting checks.

Electrical and LOTO Link verified personnel to electrical isolation and lockout-tagout requirements.

Work at height Validate competence, controls, and approval before elevated work begins.

Excavation Coordinate site-specific digging work, services checks, and responsible teams.

Line breaking Control line opening, vessel entry, and process containment activities.

Lifting operations Connect lifting plans, equipment readiness, and authorized personnel to the permit.

Cold work and certificates Support lower-risk work permits and the certificates or supporting controls they require.
