Compliance challenges

Risks on a busy construction site

A subcontractor workforce that turns over fast.

Subbies, labour hire and trades come and go as the project moves. Keeping track of who's engaged, what they're cleared for and whose insurances are current is a constant battle.

Licences and tickets that must be current.

White cards, high-risk work licences and trade qualifications all expire. One worker on site with a lapsed ticket is a safety and compliance exposure.

Site access without the paperwork.

Every worker needs a site induction before they start. Doing it on paper at the gate slows the job down and leaves your records incomplete.

High-risk work that needs permits.

Hot works, excavation, confined spaces and working at heights demand controls and approvals. Without a clear permit process, the risk sits with you.

Rapid Contractor Management

Keep every subcontractor compliant before they start

Subbies, labour hire and trades each carry their own obligations. Rapid holds them all in a single source of truth so only compliant workers reach your site.

  • White cards, high-risk work licences, insurances and SWMS in one place
  • RapidCheck AI reviews and approves or rejects documents automatically
  • Expiry alerts before any licence or insurance lapses

Rapid Induct

Induct workers before they reach the gate

Get every worker through their site induction online, before they arrive, so the first day on site is productive, not paperwork.

  • Assign project and site-specific inductions by trade and role
  • Confirm comprehension before anyone is granted access
  • Workers complete inductions on their phone, not at the gate

Questions

Questions and answers

A few things construction teams ask us before booking a demo.

How do principal contractors manage subcontractor compliance on a construction site?
Rapid Contractor Management lets principal contractors pre-qualify subcontractors, collect and store their licences, insurances and SWMS, and track expiry dates with automatic reminders. RapidCheck can review documents with AI to approve or reject them, and non-compliant subcontractors are flagged so they cannot be signed on. It gives the safety team one live view of compliance across every subcontractor.
How do you manage site inductions for a construction project?
Rapid Induct delivers online site inductions that workers complete before they arrive, so time is not lost inducting people at the gate. The induction can be tailored to each site and project, and Rapid Access denies entry at check-in if a worker's induction or documents are not current.
What is the best way to control who is on a construction site at any time?
Rapid Access checks in every worker, subcontractor and visitor by QR code, kiosk, mobile or geolocation and gives a live, real-time record of who is on site. This supports site security, accurate headcounts for evacuation and a defensible record of attendance. Entry is automatically blocked for anyone not inducted or compliant.
How do you manage SWMS and high-risk work permits on a construction site?
SWMS are collected and tracked against each contractor in Rapid Contractor Management, while Rapid Permit To Work issues and validates permits for high-risk tasks such as hot work, confined space entry and working at heights before the job begins. Both connect to induction and access records so only authorised, competent workers proceed.
How do construction teams report incidents and near-misses on site?
Rapid Incident Reporting lets any worker or subcontractor log an incident or near-miss from a phone or desktop, with reports centralised for investigation and trend analysis. Because it shares a platform with access and contractor data, an incident can be linked to who was on site and what work was underway.
Can one platform handle inductions, access and contractor compliance for construction?
Yes. Rapid is one connected platform where Induct, Access, Contractor Management, Permit To Work and Incident Reporting share the same data, so a worker inducted and verified once is recognised across every site and project. This avoids stitching together separate point solutions and gives head office one view across all sites.
