The Criteria-Based Approval feature of the Watchtower system is designed to streamline task approvals by automating the process based on predefined safety and procedural criteria. In environments like manufacturing plants, where workers perform various tasks on the production line, this feature ensures that each task meets specific safety requirements and standards before it can proceed.
The process begins when a worker initiates a new task in the Watchtower system, providing details about the task and its safety requirements. The system then defines the criteria that must be met for approval. These criteria can include verifying the worker’s training and certifications, checking the availability of necessary equipment and materials, confirming environmental conditions like temperature and humidity, and ensuring compliance with both regulatory standards and internal policies.
The Watchtower system automatically evaluates the task against these predefined criteria. If all the criteria are met, the task is approved for execution. However, if any criteria are not satisfied, the system flags the task for further review, prompting notifications to supervisors or relevant personnel to address the issues.
Once the task is approved, the worker is notified and can proceed with the activity. If the task is not approved, the system provides feedback on what needs to be corrected to meet the criteria, ensuring that all safety and procedural standards are adhered to.
This feature offers significant benefits, including a streamlined approval process that eliminates manual delays and administrative overhead, ensuring that tasks are only approved when all safety requirements are satisfied. It also enhances transparency and accountability in the approval process, fostering a culture of compliance and safety. By automating approvals, the Watchtower system reduces the risk of errors, improves efficiency, and reinforces a strong safety culture within the organization.
