The Permit Is Filed. The Worker Is Safe. You Did Not Have to Leave Your Desk.
PermitEdge replaces your paper confined space permit system with a digital platform built around OSHA 1910.146 — so your crew follows the right steps every time, your records are always audit-ready, and you can authorize permits from wherever you are.
Built with input from certified safety professionals. Designed for manufacturing, construction, and industrial facilities.
The Problem With Paper Permits
You Cannot Be Everywhere at Once. But Your Permit System Assumes You Can.
In most facilities, the confined space permit lives on a clipboard at the entry point. If you want to know whether atmospheric readings are safe, you have to walk over there. If a supervisor needs your sign-off and you are across the plant — or at another site — work stops. And when the OSHA inspector shows up, you are digging through a binder hoping everything is in order.
You did not get into safety to manage paper. You got into it to protect people.
No Visibility From Your Desk
The permit is at the entry point — you have no idea what is happening unless you walk over there.
Remote Authorization Is Impossible
If you cover multiple sites or get pulled away, workers wait or worse — they skip the sign-off.
Atmospheric Readings You Cannot Trust
Handwritten readings on paper have no verified timestamps and are easy to falsify.
Audits Are a Nightmare
Finding a specific permit from eight months ago means digging through a binder — if it was even filed.
No Data to Show Leadership
You cannot answer questions like 'how many atmospheric alarms did we have this year?' without hours of manual counting.
How It Works
Five Steps. One Platform. Every Worker Home Safe.
PermitEdge mirrors the OSHA 1910.146 permit-required confined space workflow — the one your crew already knows — and makes every step faster, traceable, and accessible from any device.
Set Up Your Facility
Add every confined space in your facility, classify each one as permit-required or non-permit-required, document the known hazards, and configure the acceptable atmospheric thresholds for oxygen, LEL, CO, and H2S. Set it up once. PermitEdge pulls the right information every time a permit is issued for that space.
Issue Permits Digitally — From Anywhere
When a job comes up, the permit request flows to you digitally. You review the hazard assessment, verify LOTO completion (attributed to a named person, not just checked off on paper), confirm the rescue plan is in place, and authorize the entry — whether you are on the floor, in your office, or at another site.
Guide Your Crew Through Pre-Entry Checks
The platform walks your team through atmospheric testing in the correct OSHA-required sequence: oxygen first, then flammability, then toxics. Initial testing is recorded before ventilation, and clearance testing is required after. The permit does not unlock for entry authorization until clearance readings pass your configured thresholds.
Monitor Entry in Real Time
Atmospheric readings are logged with trusted digital timestamps throughout the entry. The attendant tracks who is in and who is out. If conditions change — an alarm triggers, adjacent work starts, weather shifts — the entry supervisor can suspend or cancel the permit immediately, from any device.
Close Out and Archive Automatically
When work is done, the permit closes digitally. Every permit — completed, suspended, or cancelled — is stored, searchable by date range and location, and tagged with its final status. When your annual OSHA program review comes around, you pull the full year in seconds instead of spending a day with a binder.
Why PermitEdge
Less Paperwork. More Floor Time. Zero Compliance Guesswork.
Every feature was designed around one question: does this actually help safety professionals do their jobs better and keep workers safer?
Authorize From Anywhere
Sign off on permits from your phone, tablet, or laptop — whether you are across the plant or at a second facility. Work does not have to wait for you to physically walk over.
OSHA-Guided Atmospheric Testing
The platform requires testing in the correct sequence: oxygen first, then flammability, then toxics. Initial readings before ventilation, clearance readings after. Your team cannot skip steps or record them out of order.
LOTO Verification Built In
Lockout/Tagout completion is verified and attributed to a named person before the permit can be authorized — not just listed as a checkbox. This is one of the most common compliance gaps in paper systems.
Trusted Digital Timestamps
Every atmospheric reading, every signature, every permit action is logged with a verified digital timestamp. No more handwritten entries that could be questioned during an inspection.
Audit-Ready in Seconds
Completed, suspended, and cancelled permits are stored and searchable by date range, location, and status. Your OSHA 1910.146 annual program review takes minutes, not hours.
Built for the Field, Not the Boardroom
PermitEdge is a Progressive Web App — it works on any device and keeps functioning even when your facility has spotty internet. No app store. No IT department. Just open a browser and go.

Built for the People Responsible for Getting Everyone Home Safe.
Safety Sam
Safety Manager / EHS Manager
You know every inch of this facility. You have done the risk assessments, trained the crews, and built the safety culture from the ground up. But you are still drowning in paperwork — OSHA logs, permit binders, atmospheric records — when you should be on the floor. PermitEdge gives you back 10 to 20 hours a week and gives you visibility into every active entry from wherever you are.
- Authorize permits remotely when you are covering multiple sites
- Trust that atmospheric readings are accurate and timestamped
- Pull the annual OSHA program review in minutes, not hours
- Never lose a permit record before an audit
Lean Laura
Business Owner / Operations Manager
You cannot justify a full-time safety department, but you also cannot afford an OSHA fine or a workers' comp claim from a confined space incident. PermitEdge gives you the safety infrastructure of a much larger company — without the headcount. Simple enough that your supervisor can run it. Rigorous enough that an OSHA inspector will not find a gap.
- Cut the risk of fines from permit compliance failures
- Protect workers without needing a dedicated safety manager on staff
- Show your insurance broker a real compliance trail
- Understand your safety status without wading through binders
About
Built by Someone Who Has Been in the Plant.
Mike McCormick
Founder
Mike McCormick has spent his career working alongside safety managers, EHS professionals, and industrial operations teams — the people who carry the weight of OSHA compliance every day. He knows how confined space permits are supposed to work, where paper systems break down, and what safety managers actually need from a digital tool.
PermitEdge was not designed in a conference room. It was built from hundreds of real conversations with the people who will use it.
The Platform
PermitEdge is built around OSHA 1910.146 — the federal confined space standard for general industry. Every workflow, every required field, every testing sequence reflects the regulation as it is written. We do not ask safety professionals to interpret the rules. We build the rules into the platform.
