Anglo American plc, a global leader in sustainable mining, adopted IAMTech’s iPermit electronic permit-to-work (ePTW) system to modernise safety and work control at the Woodsmith Mine in North Yorkshire—one of the UK’s most complex and environmentally sensitive mining projects.
Set within the North York Moors National Park, the Woodsmith Project demanded a safer, more efficient alternative to paper-based permits. With multiple contractors operating simultaneously and strict environmental regulations in place, Anglo American needed a centralised digital permit-to-work system that could manage SIMOPS, enforce compliance, and ensure clear, real-time work authorisation across the site.
Transitioning to an electronic system was essential not only for operational efficiency but also to uphold safety and environmental standards within a high-risk and logistically demanding environment.
IAMTech implemented iPermit through a structured rollout that began with discovery workshops to align with Woodsmith’s permit-to-work procedures. The software was configured to match specific site workflows, safety requirements, and job safety analysis (JSA) protocols. Integration of modules including Permit to Work, Isolations, and JSA allowed Anglo American to fully digitise work authorisation and track all high-risk activities with precision.
Key phases included user acceptance testing, custom training for all permit stakeholders, and a dedicated hypercare support period to ensure seamless adoption and rapid issue resolution. The successful data centralisation replaced multiple fragmented systems and gave users mobile and desktop access to real-time permit and isolation data.
Since deployment, over 300+ users have engaged with iPermit, contributing to improved visibility, reduced delays, and enhanced safety compliance across operations.
Transitioning from a traditional paper PTW system to iPermit has been a game changer for the Woodsmith mine. Due to the nature of the project, an electronic PTW system was a necessity. The adaptability of iPermit allowed us to customise the program specifically to suit our procedures. The support from IAMTech during this transition was reliable, professional, and knowledgeable.
