Sparrow AI PTW™ – AI Permit to Work software. The permit that reads the job, sees the site.
Describe the work. Photograph the location. AI PTW™ names the permit, finds the hazards and adds the checks your standards require - before anyone signs.
Your SOP checklist stays exactly as approved. AI adds the checks this job needs on top, so nothing standard is lost and nothing unusual is missed.

Three jobs. Three permits. Each checked.
JOB 01
Description of work
“welding of canopy on control panel near cooling tower”
SITE PHOTO · DRISHTIAI PERMIT RECOMMENDATION
GENERAL WORKCONFIDENCE: HIGH
The work involves welding near a cooling tower, a standard maintenance activity with no mention of height or confined space. Welding tasks of this kind require a GENERAL WORK PERMIT.
JOB 02

CONFINED SPACECONFIDENCE: HIGH
Welding a clamp inside a dosing tank qualifies as entry into a confined space: limited entry and exit, and potentially hazardous conditions. A CONFINED SPACE ENTRY WORK PERMIT is required.
JOB 03
Description of work
“welding of lighting pole on top of dosing tank”
SITE PHOTO · DRISHTIAI PERMIT RECOMMENDATION
WORKING AT HEIGHTCONFIDENCE: HIGH

Your checklist is the floor. AI adds to it. It never removes a thing.
10 · FAQ
AI permit to work, answered.
What is Sparrow AI PTW™?
+
Sparrow AI PTW™ is AI permit-to-work (PTW) software for industrial plants. The initiator describes the job and photographs the work location; AI PTW™ identifies the right permit, finds hazards in the photo and adds job-specific checks, each cited to a standard, before the issuer signs.
Does AI replace our SOP permit checklist?
+
No. Your organisation's SOP checklist is carried into every permit exactly as approved. AI cannot edit, skip or remove those static questions. It only adds extra checks for the specific job and site.
Which permit types does AI PTW™ support?
+
AI PTW™ supports common work permits including hot work, working at height, confined space entry, LOTOTO (isolation), scaffolding and general work permits, and can be configured to your own permit types.
Which safety standards are the AI checks cited to?
+
Each AI-generated check carries the clause behind it, from standards such as IS, OISD, OSHA and NFPA, or from your own internal standard.
Who approves the permit, the AI or our people?
+
Your people. AI suggests; humans decide. Nothing is issued or closed on AI output alone, and every gate in the permit lifecycle keeps a human sign-off.
How do we start?
+
With a pilot: one plant, one month. Week 1 to configure, weeks 2 to 4 running AI PTW™ in parallel with your current permits, and week 5 to read out the results.
