Issuing and accepting access permits
To ensure that work is carried out safely, qualified personnel must be authorized to issue and accept access permits. You also select qualified personnel to do the tasks that are associated with access permits.
About this task
When you assign personnel to issue and accept an access permit, the permit must be in draft status. Your administrator can use the options in the Organizations application to specify whether the same person can issue and accept an access permit.
Procedure

authority. After you accept an access permit, the performing authority marks that as accepted.
