Manage complexity with ease.
With greater insight comes greater control: Sphera’s Control of Work tools help you manage activities and risk in a joined-up way.
Permit to Work
Shift the management of activities from permits to real-time, systemwide control. Strengthen compliance and the work permission process by integrating information from permits, risk assessments and isolations. Ensure safety with Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures.
Activity Risk Management
Use greater visibility into the operational reality to improve the management of interdependent risks.
Operations Logbook & Shift Handover
Prepare for an upcoming shift by understanding the previous shift, current events and predictions for shift periods to come.
Process Safety Barrier Management
Use a dynamic process safety barrier model to automatically map all performance deviations, hazardous activities, abnormal conditions and human- and sensor-derived inputs. Simulate in real time the Major Accident Hazard (MAH) risk impact of work activities, risks and process safety-critical equipment in each area of your asset.
Emergency Preparedness & Response
Improve your team’s ability to respond quickly and appropriately by ensuring access to response plan information as events unfold.
IP & ID
Streamline your isolation planning with Sphera’s interactive P&ID. It offers quick access to engineering documentation and interactive capabilities for marking up piping and instrumentation diagrams. The tool’s intuitive logic simplifies the process, making your isolation planning more efficient.
Isolation Management
Protect against uncontrolled or unexpected releases of energy with Sphera’s Isolation Management. This powerful tool lets users create a single plan that encompasses multiphase isolation plans for different work stages. Users can also create permits for specific isolation points and dependencies between isolation points for safer, more efficient isolation management.
Dynamic Risk Pathways
Know where to intervene, what to prioritize and when to mitigate risk with the industry’s first real-time process safety digital twin solution. Sphera’s Dynamic Risk Pathways provides the real-time capture, modelling and simulation of causal risk pathways related to specific risk scenarios outlined in bowties, PHAs and other risk assessments.
Control of Work by Industry
Control of Work for Pipelines
Sphera’s Control of Work (CoW) for Pipelines helps pipeline operators improve productivity while reducing risk and ensuring higher levels of compliance with internal and external commitments.
Control of Work for LNG
Sphera’s Control of Work (CoW) for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) helps operators reduce risk, improve compliance and increase safety. With the solution’s robust online / offline mobile capabilities, workers have the information they need when they need it, helping operators ensure best practices are being followed as LNG production scales up or down depending on demand.
Control of Work for Mining
Sphera’s Control of Work (CoW) for Mining helps mine operators and crews reduce risk while improving productivity and enforcing standardization in the metals, mining and mineral processing industries. Mine operators can better oversee the proper use of permits and they can manage activities in real time for higher levels of compliance.
