Why teams use this template
Work permit with an authorization gate, lockout/tagout verification and digital closure, so no high-risk activity starts without technical authorization. When this work runs through inboxes and ad-hoc spreadsheets, ownership gets fuzzy and evidence gets lost. Work Permit and LOTO gives you a 9-step process with 2 checkpoints so nothing slips between handoffs.
Built for teams led by Requester, Safety Technician, Maintenance Technician, Safety Engineer, Area Supervisor, and Executor: every task has a named owner, every approval routes to a real role, and the run history is the audit trail your auditors actually want.
The checkpoint tasks ("Checkpoint 1, Authorization gate" and "Checkpoint 2, Verify LOTO and conditions before starting") cannot be skipped, they're where the run produces evidence the next stage depends on. You start with structure instead of building it from scratch every time.
