WHY TAP PERMITS

Less admin for your team. More control on site.

Reduce admin time

A two-touch process: your team approves and closes. Contractors and FM teams share control over when permits are raised.

Accurate and compliant

Mandatory fields and tailored templates capture every detail a valid permit needs. Nothing missed, nothing skipped.

Minimise risk

Built-in checks and balances, with automatic prompts asking contractors to confirm any change on the day.

Prevent unauthorised access

Attendance is part of the permit, through TAP visitor management. With 1 in 6 permits involving lone working, you should know who is on site.

Fast, hassle-free onboarding

Contractors self-register and pick locations from a visual Stacking Plan. Add documents, photos and video to explain hazards.

Valuable data insight

Every permit builds your evidence base for preventative maintenance, Contractor Performance Scoring and any health and safety audit.

THE STACKING PLAN

Every hazard, in the right place, on every permit.

TAP maps every floor of your building into occupied, vacant and accessible areas. When a contractor picks a location, the hazards recorded for that area are pulled into the permit automatically.

→Colour-coded at a glance: occupied, vacant, accessible and expired tenancies.
→Hazards on every area, plus property-wide hazards that apply everywhere.
→Conflicting permits flagged when two jobs share the same space and time.
