    Who is Rapid Global for?

    Organisations that want permit approval enforced at the site gate rather than in a separate office process. The permit check at sign-in depends on workers signing in through Rapid Access. Confirm how permits are handled for workers already on site, and how re-verification after an interruption is recorded for hot work.

    Watch for: Full value depends on adopting the connected access and induction modules.

    CapabilityEvidenceScope and source
    Hot work permit issuingDocumented by vendor

    The vendor's support documentation states the system includes hot work permit issuing software, alongside confined space, working at heights, excavation and break-in permit types, with customisable work order forms for any work type.

    Rapid Permit to Work: work permit software (support documentation)
    Permit lifecycle with site-access enforcementDocumented by vendor

    Permits are issued, tracked, approved and closed out online with timestamped status changes, and are checked during sign-in through Rapid Access so only approved workers performing authorised high-risk work are allowed on site.

    Rapid Permit to Work product page
    Multi-worker permits and exit questionsDocumented by vendor

    The product page describes a single Responsible Worker submitting a permit for a crew, supervised workers signing in under the approved permit, individual or group sign-out, and a form builder with dynamic fields and exit questions such as fire watch confirmation. It does not state how a fire-watch period is timed or whether closure can be blocked until it is recorded; test this.

    Rapid Permit to Work product page
    Approval routing and auto-approvalDocumented by vendor

    The product page states permits are routed automatically to the correct approvers by site, with an auto-approval option for low-risk work types and notifications for reviews and overdue work. The support documentation states administrators can set permission levels to create, approve or reject work orders. The pages do not state escalation rules when an approver is unavailable.

    Induction and contractor prerequisites for permitsDocumented by vendor

    The product page states a completed induction is required before permit issuance and that Rapid Access blocks site entry until a permit is approved. The Induct and Contractor Management pages describe document and licence tracking with expiry alerts. Which checks are enforced at the gate depends on the modules purchased and how they are configured.

    Site access methods and emergency attendance listDepends on scope

    The Rapid Access page lists QR code, mobile app, iPad kiosk, Android tablet, pedestrian and vehicle access, and states a live attendance list and mustering support for emergencies. The page does not specify offline functionality, so behaviour when the gate device or network is unavailable is unverified.

    Hosting, certification and access controlsDocumented by vendor

    The security page states ISO 27001, AWS-hosted datacentres in Australia and Ireland with customer choice of region, 256-bit AES encryption at rest, role-based access, two-factor authentication and SAML/WS-Federation SSO. Request the current certificate scope and confirm which statements apply to the modules you plan to buy.

    Demo script

    Hot work permit from submission to gate check and close-out

    1. Configure a hot work permit with a mandatory fire-watch exit question and an approver route for one test site.
    2. Submit the permit as a Responsible Worker for a two-person crew before arrival, then approve it as the site approver.
    3. Attempt sign-in with an approved worker, an unapproved worker and a worker with an expired document, and record the gate result for each.
    4. Close the permit with and without the fire-watch confirmation and export the timestamped audit trail.

    Ask the vendor to show you

    1. Configure a hot work permit with a mandatory fire-watch exit question and show what happens at closure if it is left blank.
    2. Sign in a worker whose permit is unapproved and a worker whose licence has expired; show the result on the gate device.
    3. Edit an approved permit as a worker and show the administrator alert and the audit trail entry.
    4. Submit one permit for a crew as a Responsible Worker and sign individual workers in and out.
