ELECTRONIC
PERMITTING
FACILEX® EP targets Process Safety Management (PSM) requirements for electronic permitting required to process applications related to construction, environmental permits, business licenses, and various other regulatory approvals. FACILEX® EP can be used as a standalone application and is also tightly integrated with FACILEX® MOC, Capital projects etc.
FACILEX® is derived from the CCPS Pillars of Process Safety. Electronic Permitting is a key element of Safe Work Practices.
What are the Key Features of Electronic Permitting?
E-Permitting (short for Electronic Permitting) refers to the use of digital platforms and tools to manage the entire permitting process—from application and review to approval and issuance—through an online interface rather than through traditional paper-based systems. E-Permitting systems are commonly used for processing applications related to maintenance, construction, environmental and various other regulatory approvals.
Key Features of E-Permitting
1. Online Application Submission
Applicants can fill out forms, attach necessary documents, and submit their permit requests online, reducing the need for in-person visits or mailing paper forms.
2. Automated Review and Approval
Once an application is submitted, staff and reviewers can access it electronically, collaborate with each other, and track the progress of the application via a centralized system.
3. Tracking and Notifications
Applicants and agency staff can monitor the real-time status of permit applications. Automated notifications (via email or text message) keep everyone informed of updates, review comments, or additional requirements.
4. Document Management
Supporting documents (e.g., site plans, blueprints, certificates) are uploaded and stored in a secure digital repository, reducing the risk of lost or misplaced records.
5. Compliance and Reporting
Enforcement, inspection scheduling, and compliance tracking can be integrated into the system, helping agencies maintain records and generate reports efficiently.
Benefits of E-Permitting
Overall, e-permitting transforms what was traditionally a time-consuming, manual, paper-heavy process into a more efficient and transparent lifecycle, benefiting both regulatory bodies and the industries they serve.
