PTW Status Legend

Each permit shows an icon that encodes two things at once:

  • The shape encodes the status (workflow stage) — e.g. circle = Request, square = Live, pentagon = Closing, hexagon = Closed.
  • The colour and inner symbol encode the permit type — Cold Work (blue gear), Hot Work Naked Flame (red flame), Hot Work Non-Naked Flame (yellow spark), Confined Space Entry (green), Breaking Containment (grey).
