Preparing for Corporate Visits on Job Sites

09th April, 2012

Share with your friends

There comes a time in any construction project when the corporate bosses with the company behind the initiative will stop by to check out the site’s progress. This can be stressful, as these are the people that your staff is reporting to. However, a little preparation goes a long way:

  1. Have the foreman or a site supervisor escort the visitors – this is for the sake of safety, and effectively informing the corporate executives visiting your site. Ensure that someone is available to greet them, so they don’t end up wandering through the site on their own, which can be dangerous and frustrating.
  2. Ensure that they have been informed about safety protocols – no one should ever be allowed on the site until they have been briefed on safety protocols. Ensure that anyone who hasn’t been on the site before receives this necessary guidance. If any massive changes have been made to the job site, it is important that they are informed of these as well from a safety perspective.
  3. Have the appropriate equipment ready – you can’t expect that all executives will show up with the correct safety gear, so have it handy. This means hard hates, reflective vests, and steel-toed boots if necessary.
  4. Log them in – just because they are integral people to the project doesn’t mean they shouldn’t sign in and go through the typical protocols. It is essential to safety to know who is on the site, for how long, and why. Use a visitor management tracking program, so you also have the opportunity to review visitor history retroactively if necessary!

How to instantly alert everyone in the case of an emergency!
30th Oct, 2019
Natalie Fort

When an emergency unfolds, the reaction time and sending out a clear and brief message can save lives. One of the fastest ways to send a message today is via SMS. Any effective emergency communication system (ECS) needs to include an effective way to communicate with everyone on-site and even those that may be due on-site. Buildings such as hotels, high-rise, and college campuses in the US are required to have an Emergency Communication System (ECS) under the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 101 and the International Building Code.

Contractor sign in and sign out to check invoices
02nd Sep, 2019
Natalie Fort

One of the most common requirements for customers today managing contractors before any compliance comes into play like inductions, insurances, licenses and more is the simple sign in and sign out process. I have been involved in Time & Attendance for more than 20 years and know wherever there is a manual timesheet system contractors generally are the winners at the end of the day. Some common examples include… Contractor turns up at 7:05 but writes 7:00 – multiply this by thousands of contractors and it all adds up. 2000 […]

How do you induct or orientate your visitors and contractors?
08th Jul, 2019
Natalie Fort

Advising your visitors and contractors on important safety information can sometimes be overlooked! It’s important for anyone coming onsite to know of any potential dangers and what to do in an emergency situation. Visitor Management Systems can assist you in passing on this important and sometimes life saving information in more ways than you think; 1/. Sign in kiosk – custom questions Set up site specific questions that can be different for each type of person signing in – employee, contractor or visitor. Ask any question and depending on the […]

Visitor Management meets Webhooks
12th Jun, 2019
Natalie Fort

Webhooks while easy to set up still need some understanding especially if you are a newbie and have never set up a webhook before. Webhooks allow you to pull data out of the visitor management system as it happens, an API, for example, needs instructions on how to collect and how frequently to collect data and is always coded. Webhooks allow you to push data live as it happens from the visitor management software into other systems without code. I can confirm I am a newbie to Webhooks however I have […]

Visitor Management turnstiles and speed gates
30th Jan, 2019
Natalie Fort

One of the more popular requests these days for integrations is to integrate the visitor management system with access control systems. When asked we always share that integration to an access control system really only works if you have turnstiles or speed gates. Why integrate your visitor management system with access control? Number 1 reason is to have all the employee on site registered in the evacuation module. Problem is one person can swipe and open a door and 3 people can walk through the door behind the person that […]

Linking Visitor Management with Contractor Compliance
24th Jan, 2019
Natalie Fort

When managing contractors the duty of care falls on the organisation to keep them safe and secure when working in any of their locations or sites. In the past certificates, licences, qualifications, insurances and induction were all manual with many paper forms to complete. Now there is a great range of online options to assist organisations in managing and storing all these details digitally. The link that isn’t always there is when the contractor arrives on-site who is checking these documents are complete and up to date? They may have […]

Pop up events need contractor management
11th Oct, 2018
Natalie Fort

Pop up events can require large work forces to complete large amounts of work in short periods of time. A car race for example can be built into city streets like the Melbourne Grand Prix, Monte Carlo Grand Prix – Circuit De Monaco and the granddaddy of all street circuits is, of course, Monaco: quite literally as it’s been running since 1929. These events pop up for a weekend of racing and can take weeks and months to build out and weeks to pull down after the event. Typically thousands of […]

Visitor Management one touch sign in for visitors
30th Aug, 2018
Natalie Fort

  Customers ask “Can visitors sign in quickly?” and “Can a visitor sign in with one touch?” The answer is Yes, however for this to work we do need to do a little bit of background work prior to the visitor arriving. Pre-registration of a visitor (as individuals or groups) can be done in advance with your outlook or google calendar and is the easiest way to set up a visitor for one touch sign in. When a visitor is pre-registered all of their details are entered into the system […]

We now find more and more people are working alone whether it be a permanent remote locations, occupations taking workers into private homes such as doctors, health and community workers, contractors coming to site or sales representatives. These scenarios mean workers are away from other colleagues or other people with no immediate assistance, therefore increasing workplace hazards and risks and the consequences can be more severe. There are some strategies and procedure you can put in place to improve lone worker safety. One is by implementing a Visitor Management System […]
