Common Permit to Work.
PermitMe works out of the box with the Common Permit to Work system, ensuring your staff and contractors use a familiar system without needing to relearn processes.
What is the CPTW?
The Common Permit to Work (CPTW) is a widely-adopted standard used across high-risk industries. It provides a structured, standardised approach to managing permits for hazardous work activities.
The CPTW system is backed by NZQA Unit Standards (17588 and 17590), ensuring that personnel are trained and competent in permit to work procedures that are consistent across organisations.
How PermitMe aligns
PermitMe is built natively around the CPTW system. Every permit workflow, approval step, and safety check follows the familiar CPTW processes your teams already know.
This means no retraining, no adjustment period, and no friction. Your staff and contractors can start using PermitMe immediately because it mirrors the system they are already trained on.
