For general contractors in the USA, Canada & Germany

Know every worker on site is certified — before they walk through the gate

SiteKey turns the gate into a checkpoint. A worker taps their phone, and in under a second you get a clear GREEN or RED: every safety certification checked against the rules that apply on that site, in that jurisdiction, that day.

Built around the safety rules that actually apply where you work

  • USUSA — Federal OSHA + state plans
  • CACanada — WSIB, CSA & provincial OHS
  • DEGermany — DGUV & Arbeitsschutz

SiteKey helps you track and evidence compliance. It is a record-keeping tool and does not itself certify workers or guarantee regulatory compliance.

The paperwork says everyone is compliant. The gate says otherwise.

Most sites still run on binders, spreadsheets and trust. That works right up until an inspector arrives, or someone gets hurt.

  • Certifications expire quietly

    A fall-protection card lapsed three weeks ago. Nobody noticed, because nothing tells you until an audit does.

  • Nobody actually checks at the gate

    Verifying a worker's paperwork properly takes minutes. Multiply that by a shift change and it simply stops happening.

  • Subcontractor compliance is a black box

    You're accountable for their workers' credentials, insurance and clearances — but you're relying on emailed PDFs from months ago.

  • Safety software charges per user

    At roughly $24–30 per user per month, putting a 15-person crew on the leading tools costs $360+ every month. So most crews never get added.

How it works

Three steps. The whole thing takes about a minute per worker, once.

  1. Workers build a credential wallet

    Each worker uploads their tickets and certifications once, in their own language, on their own phone. It stays with them across every site and every employer.

  2. You put a tag on the gate

    Stick an NFC tag on the gate post or print the QR poster. Workers tap or scan themselves in — no supervisor needed standing at the entrance.

  3. You get GREEN or RED, instantly

    SiteKey checks every certification required for that jurisdiction and trade, right then. Non-compliant workers are flagged and the site supervisor is notified automatically.

Everything you need to run a compliant site

Built specifically for construction — not a generic checklist app with a hard hat icon.

  • Gate check-in that takes one second

    Workers tap an NFC tag or scan a QR poster to check themselves in. Supervisors can also scan a worker's QR badge directly. Either way you get an instant GREEN or RED verdict with the exact failing certifications listed.

  • Certification expiry tracking

    Every credential is tracked against its real expiry date and the rules of the jurisdiction it's used in. You get warned before things lapse, not after — including refresher deadlines like the 2026 HazCom update.

  • Works with no signal

    Job sites lose connectivity constantly. SiteKey caches the day's roster on the device, decides GREEN or RED offline, and syncs every scan once you're back in range.

  • Incident reporting that routes itself

    Report an injury, near miss, property damage or observation in under a minute with photos. Severity drives what happens next — serious incidents trigger SMS, require named acknowledgment, and generate a jurisdiction-formatted report.

  • Equipment pre-use inspections

    Tag ladders, scaffolds, forklifts and harnesses. Workers tap to run the pre-use checklist for that equipment type and jurisdiction. Any failure requires a photo, marks the item non-operational and notifies you immediately.

  • Subcontractor compliance in one view

    Track each subcontractor's insurance, trade licences and clearance certificates alongside their workers' credentials. See exactly who is site-ready before you issue the work order.

One system, three regulatory environments

Safety requirements aren't universal. SiteKey stores the actual certification rules for each jurisdiction and applies the right ones automatically, based on where the site is.

United States

Federal OSHA baseline with state-plan overlays. Covers OSHA 10/30, fall protection, HazCom, first aid/CPR and heat illness prevention, plus state-specific requirements.

Including Texas, New York, Florida, California and Nevada

State rules genuinely differ: NYC Local Law 196 requires an SST card, Nevada mandates OSHA 10 within 15 days of hire, and Cal/OSHA treats heat illness prevention more strictly than the federal standard. SiteKey applies each automatically.

Canada

Provincial OHS requirements with WSIB clearance verification and CSA standards. Working at Heights, WHMIS, first aid and confined-space entry are all tracked.

All provinces and territories, including Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec

Ontario's Working at Heights training, Quebec's ASP Construction card and BC's provincial requirements are stored as distinct rule sets — a worker compliant in one province isn't assumed compliant in another.

Germany

DGUV and Arbeitsschutz requirements, with the data-protection expectations German customers rightly insist on.

Nationwide coverage

Built with German data-protection expectations in mind: full data export, account deletion, and explicit consent controls. Note that our AI features are deliberately switched off for German-jurisdiction accounts pending a confirmed data-transfer safeguard.
