Operational Restrictions
Set restrictions on specific assets to ensure only competent and authorised personnel can carry out work. The KUDO platform allows you to define and manage these restrictions manually, helping prevent unauthorised activity, maintain compliance, and support safe, controlled operations across your portfolio.Operational restrictions can also be created directly from the KUDO mobile app, with approvals managed through the web platform where required.
What's the problem?
-
It can be difficult to keep track of who is authorised or trained for specific assets.
-
Permissions are often managed manually, which slows operations and leads to inconsistencies.
-
Teams may not always have clear visibility of competency requirements before work begins.

Common Questions About Operational Restrictions:
What are Operational Restrictions in KUDO?
Operational Restrictions is a feature within the KUDO platform that allows managers to define and enforce rules governing who can carry out specific types of work on individual assets. Restrictions are based on authorisation and competency requirements, and are checked automatically before tasks are assigned or accessed. Operational restrictions can also be created directly from the KUDO mobile app, enabling site teams to respond quickly to changing operational requirements while maintaining central approval through the web platform.
How does KUDO help ensure only qualified personnel carry out work on renewable energy assets?
Managers can set operational restrictions on individual assets, specifying the competency or authorisation level required before work can begin. KUDO checks these restrictions automatically when work orders are assigned or when a worker attempts to access a task, preventing unqualified personnel from proceeding without the correct clearance. Operational restrictions can be created through the web platform or raised directly from the mobile app for approval, ensuring the same governance is maintained regardless of where the restriction originates.
What is the difference between Asset Access Restrictions and Operational Restrictions in KUDO?
Asset Access Restrictions control who can physically access a site or asset — for example, if a turbine is temporarily unsafe. Operational Restrictions govern the type of work that can be carried out on an asset, ensuring that specific maintenance tasks, inspections, or procedures are only undertaken by personnel with the required training or authorisation.
How does centralising operational restriction management save time?
Without a centralised system, managers must manually verify competency records and communicate restrictions via phone or email before each work assignment. KUDO automates this process, applying restrictions consistently and maintaining a central record — removing the need for manual checks and reducing the risk of human error.
Does KUDO maintain a history of operational restrictions for audit purposes?
Yes. All operational restrictions defined within KUDO, along with their application dates, the assets they relate to, and the personnel involved, are stored within the platform and are available for review in the event of an audit or compliance check.
