Spotlight Form: The Hot Work Permit
Effortlessly document grinding, soldering, cutting, welding hazards, and more with our free hot work permit Template today
Construction sites that facilitate hot work operations are required to have hot work permits on site until all hot work operations are completed. However, paper hot work permits require manual filing and rely on the hope that the permit will not be misplaced, lost, or damaged during the work. With digital hot work permits, site supervisors can be equipped with iPads or mobile devices, granting them access to completed documents regardless of their location. This eliminates the need for inflexible filing systems, bulky binders of paperwork, and the risk of damaged vital documentation.
GoFormz not only offers a pre-made hot work permit Template that’s readily available but also has a variety of features ready to streamline your construction operations further. Along with digital data collection, your construction team can experience real-time access to completed hot work permits, instant form routing to back-office personnel, automated form uploads to connected systems like Procore or Acumatica, and much more.
Explore the features and fields below for further insight into how digital hot work permits can improve your entire construction operation from end to end.
Key Fields and Features
Digital Signatures – Capture EHS, employee, or contractor signatures through Digital Signature form fields and make them Required so your hot work permit has all the proper authorizations it needs to be approved.
Checkbox Groups and Checkboxes – Checkboxes are a great way to quickly identify critical information on a form. Use Checkbox Groups to identify what type of hot work permit you have acquired along with Checkboxes to quickly mark off critical tasks that need to be completed or verified.
AutoNumber field – The AutoNumber field is a read-only field that automatically generates a unique ID number upon form creation. That unique ID number builds on itself by incrementing the previous ID by 1 – making it easier to track or reference construction forms. Leveraging this form field makes navigating required hot work permits across multiple projects easier, enhancing your company's organization and productivity.
Date field – Easily capture the permit date range by incorporating digital Date fields.
Offline Data Capture – Fill out and submit hot work permits from any mobile device, regardless of your location and internet connectivity.
Procore Integration – Connecting your GoFormz account with Procore enables your team to use your pre-existing construction forms as a digital front-end to Procore data capture and processing. For example, a completed construction site safety checklist can be routed directly into a specific Procore project folder, streamlining communication and collaboration between project managers and site supervisors.
Automated Workflows – Once a digital form is completed, a Workflow can be immediately triggered to route captured form data wherever you want it to go. For example, if the form requires a digital Signature from a site supervisor that is currently off-site, that form can be automatically routed in real-time, eliminating the need for costly delays.
