No More Legwork for Hazardous Work Permit Filing and Registration

On weekdays, the Gas Protection Station of Yugang Company's Power Division used to be bustling with employees from various departments handling hazardous work permit filings. Recently, however, the station has become notably quieter. This change comes from the division's implementation of "Internet + permit registration" as a key initiative in their "Transformative Thinking, Innovative Action" campaign. By optimizing processes and adopting online electronic registration, they've enabled data to do the running while keeping employees off their feet.
The Gas Protection Station oversees permit issuance for special-grade operations including:
- Hot work (Level 1)
- Confined space entry
- Public pipeline blind plate operations
Since January 2018, the station has required departments to submit permits for these hazardous operations 24 hours in advance for professional review and registration, standardizing the management of three critical hazardous operations.
In early April, an inspector complained: "With multiple maintenance tasks today, I've already made three trips just for registration. Isn't there a way to handle permits without all this legwork?" This feedback prompted Xu Weidong, chief operator of blind plate detection at the station, to rethink their processes. Recognizing the outdated workflow that often handled over 200 daily registrations during maintenance periods, he realized the system created burdens for both applicants and station staff.
To streamline operations, Xu proposed digitizing the permit registration process. Departments can now:
- Scan a dedicated dynamic QR code using smartphones
- Complete permit filing and document uploads online
This innovation not only simplifies submissions for operating units but also enables visual permit review for station staff, significantly improving processing efficiency.
