Common Visitor Contractor problem solved

04th March, 2021

Share with your friends

Common problem customers can experience when moving to a digital visitor contractor management solution with built-in compliance is the contractor who fails the compliance test or cannot sign in for any reason when signing in as a contractor will try and sign in as a visitor to bypass the contractor sign-in process.

Several issues can come from contractors signing in like visitors

  • Contractors signing in as visitors bypass key contractor compliance including inductions, qualifications including licenses, insurances, and more.
  • Contractors may now be on-site and not signed in correctly.
  • Notifications will not go out to the appropriate people regarding the contractor arriving on site.

While it may have been ok to sign in contractors on a paper visitor register when you go digital and connect compliance to the sign-in process with inductions, qualifications, insurances, and more it is not ok for contractors to sign in like a visitor.

 

There are already simple ways to eliminate the issue completely by having a sign-in kiosk designed only for contractors. Where we see this issue commonly is where visitors and contractors sign in through the same kiosk or sign in station.

21st Sep, 2021
Natalie Fort

Contractor Onboarding, what does this even mean?  There are multiple components to onboarding a contractor, I will dive in below… Organisations or suppliers – Organisations are the companies that provide services to your company.  Commonly organisations or suppliers will provide to your company insurances to confirm they are insured should anything go wrong while they provide a service. Some companies will need to hold more insurance coverage than others.  Most common in Australia for example is Public Liability Insurance, Professional Indemnity Insurance, Business Insurance, and Workers Compensation Insurance.

How to give keys to approved compliant contractors-employees
10th May, 2021
Natalie Fort

Issuing keys is very easy to do, a person walks up and asks for a key, the key is issued and off they go. I remember the first time I came across an issue with key issuance. It was a High School where the keys were kept in a cupboard back then behind reception. An employee would walk up and ask for the key to the ute, the key was issued, noted on a piece of paper and then the worker would go off with the ute. Eventually, the worker […]

Employee & Contractor surveys to capture information. BioSecurity / Covid-19
27th Apr, 2020
Natalie Fort

It will not be long until we will all be back to some form of normality. When we get back to the place of normality we all desire not everything will be the same as it was in the past. Historically we have been asked to gather information when people signed in their presence on-site remotely for Biosecurity. The internet says Biosecurity, as originally conceptualised, was a set of preventive measures designed to reduce the risk of transmission of infectious diseases in crops and livestock, quarantined pests, invasive alien species, […]

Electronic sign in goes mobile
25th Nov, 2019
Natalie Fort

Employees and contractors don’t always enter a site or building through the same one entry point making it inconvenient and sometime impossible to have them all register at the same sign in kiosk. Visitor Management Systems can assist with this by allowing you to set up as many sign in kiosks as you need at multiple entry points without changing the price of the software. However, you may still encounter challenges managing remote sites, larger campuses and contractors coming and going before and after office hours. Here is where we introduce […]
