The OS · Live Permits
No compliance. No permit.
In SiteActive the permit is not a form — it’s an enforcement point. Issuance is gated on live compliance, the workspace confirms the job, the closeout is identity-verified, and the whole record stands afterwards.
01
One permit per job
Every job gets its own permit with its own daily log — live state, not paper in a folder. Who is working, under what permit, on which site, right now.
Live state
A permit you can watch
Every active permit is visible in real time across the organisation — open, confirmed, logged, closed.
One permit per job, no blanket permits
Live status across all sites
Full history retained per permit
Daily logs
Logged every day it runs
Multi-day jobs carry a daily permit log — each day confirmed, each day recorded, gaps impossible to hide.
Daily confirmation per running permit
Continuous record for multi-day work
Log travels with the permit record
02
The gate is not negotiable
A permit cannot be issued to a contractor who doesn’t qualify for one. The system checks live compliance at the moment of issue — and deterministic rules block issuance outright on critical lapses.
Score gate
Below the bar, no permit
Permit issuance is hard-gated on the live compliance score. It is not a warning or a report — the permit simply cannot be created.
Issuance blocked below threshold
Checked live at the moment of issue
No manual workaround culture
Hard blocks
Some lapses stop everything
An expired Section 37(2) agreement, a lapsed COIDA good standing, a failed medical fitness — deterministic rules that block work, with the reason stated.
Section 37(2) expiry blocks issuance
COIDA and medical fitness lapses demobilise
The deny reason is always given

03
The workspace confirms the job
Permits tied to a business unit route to the appointed workspace owner — the person accountable for that floor confirms or declines before work proceeds.
Appointee routing
The right person signs
Business-unit permits notify the appointed workspace authority automatically — accountability lands where the law puts it.
Routed to the BU appointee
Confirm or decline, on record
No permit floats without an owner
Advisory
The workspace answers back
Workspace-level advisories surface conditions and conflicts before the job starts — the site talks back to the permit.
Conditions surfaced at confirmation
Conflicts visible before work starts
Recorded against the permit
04
Closeout that means something
A permit isn’t finished when the job is — it’s finished when the closeout is verified. Identity-verified sign-off, closure notes, and an explicit incident flag on every single closure.
Verified sign-off
Identity-verified closure
Closeout is confirmed with a one-time PIN — the person closing the permit is the person recorded closing it, with full ECT Act audit detail captured.
One-time-PIN verified closure
Signer, time and origin recorded
Aligned to the ECT Act 25 of 2002
Incident flag
The question is always asked
Every closeout asks whether an incident occurred — answered on the record, feeding the incident register when it matters.
Incident flag on every closure
Feeds incidents & investigations

05
Visible beyond the login
Clients and inspectors don’t need accounts to see a permit. Tokenised public views put the live permit in front of whoever needs to see it — read-only, current, verifiable.
Public view
Show the permit, not a PDF
A secure public link shows the live permit state to a client or inspector — no account, no stale printout.
Tokenised read-only access
Nothing to install or sign up for
For the record
It stands afterwards
The full permit record — issuance checks, confirmations, daily logs, verified closeout — is preserved as evidence.
