Why use authorization management software?
Authorization management software saves significant time and strengthens safety. Authorization processes thus become much more robust. Both internally and with third parties, implementing a digital project to manage authorizations demonstrates the company’s commitment to placing safety at the heart of its operations.
The advantages of authorization software are numerous: elimination of paper, simplified management of validation workflows with electronic signatures, downloading of authorization certificates from a smartphone, secure archiving, streamlined personnel tracking, implementation of dashboards, monitoring of authorization-related training, and configuration of alerts for authorization renewals or training refreshers.
The true added value of authorization management software lies in its ability to carry out systematic and robust annual evaluations for all personnel, in line with local regulatory standards (such as NF C18-510 in France, NFPA 70E and OSHA in the United States, BS 7671 and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 in the United Kingdom, or DIN VDE 0105-100 and DGUV Vorschrift 3 in Germany). These evaluations are required before authorization can be granted.
The software provides an evaluation based on a series of multiple-choice questionnaires (MCQs) tailored to the authorization levels requested. Not only does the evaluation determine whether the person has the necessary competence to be authorized, but it also serves as a self-training tool to strengthen knowledge and skills.
Just as even experienced drivers might struggle with retaking the theory test, practical knowledge alone is not always enough. Regular online self-evaluations can be both fun and motivating, encouraging personnel to aim for the best possible score.
Our choice is the Leaneo software, which simplifies the management of authorizations and the organization of evaluations. More than 1,000 MCQs are available, covering different levels of electrical and mechanical authorization defined by international standards and adapted to industrial contexts, thermal and hydraulic production, and electricity transmission and distribution.
For more specialized authorizations, a built-in editor allows you to create custom MCQs tailored to your company’s specific activities and risks.
The strengths of the Leaneo software are its user-friendly interface, personnel tracking and management, customizable validation workflows, and visual safety management. It is an excellent choice that will save you both time and increase safety.
