In project management, commissioning is a crucial phase. For the stakeholders involved as well as the entire project team, project commissioning is the only way to ensure that the project is in accordance with the regulatory requirements and the design document. During the commissioning phase, functional testing procedures are performed, interoperability problems are resolved, and energy usage is optimised for enhanced performa nce and efficiency. In a construction setting,  building commissioning software  need to ensure that all facets of the project are appropriately installed, designed, maintained and tested. The tasks of a commissioning engineer entail tracking progress, troubleshooting potential issues, carrying out tests, helping with financial improvements, conducting audits and preparing reports while being a dedicated supporter of the owner of the project throughout the entire construction phase. During the project commissioning phase, a single wrong step can lead to...

  When safety at the workplace gets compromised, the results are often a series of unavoidable problems for organisations. The most common (read: frustrating) is the “blame-game” and since humans have a natural tendency to passing the buck, they either accuse each other involved in the system, blame the system itself, or seldom own-up to the inescapable human fault.

An  e-permit to work system  allows companies to keep a tab on everyone’s activities, ensuring that all are amply trained and prepared when they take up any work at a particular location and time. A paper-based permit to work (PTW) system worked well for quite a long time, but only until the loopholes became too hard to ignore. With an electronic permit to work software, organisations now have the most comprehensive system that warrants a connected, responsible, safer a...
