Switching & Safety
Coordinate the most dangerous work on the grid with auditable safety workflows — ordered switching operations, lockout/tagout (LOTO), and work permits, each with a complete, enforceable lifecycle from request to closure.
Ordered Switching, Executed Step by Step
Author switching orders as a precise sequence of operations, then execute them with per-step verification. Every action — open, close, ground, test — is recorded against the responsible operator and the affected network device, so the executed order is a defensible record of exactly what happened on the system.
- Step-by-step switching sequences with device-level targeting
- Execution tracking with per-step sign-off
- Automatic linking to LOTO and permits for the same work
- Full audit trail of who did what, and when
Every Energy Source, Accounted For
Lockout/tagout is where life-safety lives. GridState enforces a complete LOTO lifecycle — isolate every energy source, apply locks and tags, verify zero energy, and release only through an authorized, sequenced removal. No lock is released until every isolating device is reconciled.
- Per-energy-source isolation with lock & tag records
- Zero-energy verification step before work begins
- Authorized, sequenced lock removal and release
- OSHA 1910.147-aligned workflow
Permits & Pre-Job Briefing
Switching and LOTO sit inside a broader work-control framework that keeps crews safe and informed before any device is touched.
Work Permits
Full permit lifecycle — request, review, approval, issue, and closure — with permit-to-work conditions and validity windows.
Safety Briefing
A unified pre-job view that consolidates the switching order, LOTO status, and active permits into one briefing crews sign before starting.
Linked Work Records
Every switching step, lock, tag, and permit is cross-linked to the same work package — no isolated, contradictory records.
Defensible Audit Trail
Immutable, time-stamped records of each operation and authorization for incident review and regulatory scrutiny.
