What it often comes down to.

In the words of the people who do the work.

  1. 01

    Bringing in contractors takes weeks

    During a turnaround or a large project, hundreds of external workers come on site. Everyone has to be checked, inducted and scheduled, often within a few weeks.

  2. 02

    Work permits go round on paper

    Requests, checks and sign-offs happen on paper. No one sees at a glance what work is running, and where it clashes.

  3. 03

    Knowing who is on site

    Visitors, contractors and drivers sign in on paper or in a separate system. In an evacuation, no one knows for sure who is inside.

What it does.

The system proposes. A person decides.

  • Contractors register their people, certificates and insurance in their own environment.
  • Induction and test online, in advance.
  • The gate sees for each person whether everything is complete and valid.
What the system does
Reads certificates from a PDF or photo and checks name, type and expiry date.
A person decides
HSE or the client approves the contractor.

What it looks like.

Contractors submit their documents before they arrive at the gate.

Where it applies.

In these sectors, and how it works there now.

Contractor portal: where it applies, by sector
Sector and processHow it works nowWhat could be better
Energy & chemicalsTurnaround or shutdownNow: Hundreds of contractors arrive within a few weeks. Planning, scope and permits run through separate lists.What could be better: Onboarding, certificates and permits in place together, and overruns visible while you can still adjust.
Energy & chemicalsAdmitting contractorsNow: Contractors send VCA, GWO and induction records by email. The gate checks on paper.What could be better: Only valid certificates through the gate, and an up-to-date list of who is on site during an evacuation.

Compliance you can prove.
