Engineering Compliance Challenges
Engineering operations carry significant compliance obligations — particularly around high-hazard activities, asset integrity and technical competency. These are the challenges we see most consistently.
Permit-to-work systems in engineering environments are frequently paper-based, inconsistently applied across teams or sites, and difficult to audit retrospectively. This creates both safety risk and compliance liability.
Statutory examination records for pressure systems, lifting equipment and electrical assets are often held in different systems, spreadsheets or paper files. Demonstrating compliance during an HSE inspection or client audit is unnecessarily difficult.
Demonstrating that the right person with the right competency carried out a specific task is a fundamental requirement in engineering. Without a structured system, this evidence is difficult to compile and often incomplete.
The Platform
Create, issue, extend and close permits digitally. Full audit trail retained for every permit type — hot work, confined space, electrical isolation and more.
Record all plant, pressure systems and lifting equipment. Set examination schedules, log inspection outcomes and receive alerts before statutory examinations fall due.
Track technical authorisations, approved person registers and role-specific competency requirements. Automated alerts for expiring qualifications and authorisations.
Manage RAMS, isolation procedures and Safe Systems of Work centrally with version control, approval workflows and digital sign-off.
Schedule and complete technical audits, pre-start checks and management inspections on any device. Track all actions to closure.
Report dangerous occurrences, near misses and incidents from site on mobile. RIDDOR-ready records with full investigation tracking.
Pre-qualify specialist contractors and technical subcontractors. Manage documentation, inductions and on-site compliance centrally.
Store engineering procedures, safe working policies and HSE documentation centrally. Track staff acknowledgements and review schedules.
Expert Backing
Liam Scott's career has included direct work with engineering operations on permit-to-work systems, isolation procedures, statutory examination programmes and technical competency frameworks. SRM Genie reflects that practical experience — it is built around the obligations engineering businesses actually face.
FAQs
UK engineering businesses must comply with PUWER, LOLER, the Electricity at Work Regulations, Pressure Systems Safety Regulations, COSHH, RIDDOR, and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations among others. High-hazard activities typically also require a formal permit-to-work system, isolation procedures and competency-based authorisation of individuals to carry out specific tasks.
SRM Genie provides a framework for creating, issuing, extending and closing permits to work digitally. Records are retained centrally with full audit trails. The system can be configured to your specific permit types — including hot work, confined space entry, electrical isolation and working at height — ensuring consistency and accountability across all high-hazard activities.
The Asset Management module allows you to record all engineering plant and equipment, set examination schedules under LOLER, PUWER or pressure systems regulations, log inspection and examination outcomes, and receive automated alerts before examinations fall due. All records are accessible during HSE visits or client audits.
Yes. The Training and Competency module can be configured to track technical authorisations, approved person designations and role-specific competency requirements. Expiry dates are tracked automatically and alerts issued in advance of renewals.
Yes. SRM Genie is configurable to reflect the structure of multi-discipline engineering businesses, including different departments, disciplines, sites or project types. Each area can have its own configuration while feeding into a single management overview.
