ITPs and hold points

Manage ITP templates, hold points and approvals so quality and safety sequencing is documented and release is accountable.

ITPs and hold points align quality and safety sequencing on complex projects. Veritas Safety supports ITP templates, witness points, hold points and approval records so work does not proceed without required checks.

Hold points complement Compliance gates where both modules are enabled: Safety ITPs focus on construction quality and safety witness steps, while Compliance gates focus on test and certification evidence.

Release records retain who approved each hold point and when, which auditors expect during dispute or incident review.

The problem this solves

ITPs often live in binders that lag weeks behind site reality. Hold points get signed retrospectively, which destroys their value as a control.

Digital hold points tied to project records make release accountable and visible before work continues.

Workflow narrative

  1. 1. Configure ITP templates

    Set up inspection and test stages, witness rules and hold-point requirements.

  2. 2. Apply to project scope

    Assign ITP stages to the relevant work packages or locations.

  3. 3. Hold and witness work

    Stop downstream steps until required checks and evidence are complete.

  4. 4. Release with accountability

    Authorised roles release hold points with timestamps retained in the record.

Outcomes

  • Accountable hold-point release
  • Better alignment between ITP and site sequencing
  • Reduced retrospective sign-off
  • Clearer audit trail for quality disputes

Applicable standards

  • ISO 9001Quality management - control of production and service provision
  • Project ITP specificationContract-specific inspection and test requirements

Limitations

ITP design quality

Hold points only work when templates match real project sequencing and contract requirements.

Cross-module gates

Some hold points may depend on Compliance test evidence when that module is enabled.

FAQ

Common questions

Are ITPs the same as Compliance gates?
They overlap in purpose but serve different evidence types. Both can coexist in one workspace.
Who can release hold points?
Release permissions follow workspace role configuration.
Can hold points attach photos?
Evidence attachment is supported according to ITP template configuration.
Do ITPs require safety authoring entitlement?
Template management may require authoring entitlements; witness and release roles can be narrower.
