Atyrau Oil Refinery, a subsidiary of KazMunayGas National Company JSC, has introduced an electronic work-permit system for hazardous jobs. The system is intended to improve industrial safety and strengthen oversight of high-risk work.
Permits for repairs, excavation, electrical work, hot work and gas-hazardous work are prepared and approved electronically. They can be signed on a computer using an electronic digital signature or through the eGov Mobile app. Work may begin only after all responsible personnel have signed the permit.
The system includes an artificial intelligence assistant that checks whether permits have been completed correctly, identifies possible omissions in safety measures and offers recommendations based on the refinery’s internal instructions. A responsible employee makes the final decision.
