Compliance challenges
Risks on a busy plant floor
Contractors on the plant floor.
Maintenance crews, installers and specialist contractors work alongside your people around live machinery, each with their own competencies and inductions to verify.
High-risk work around machinery.
Isolation, confined spaces, hot works and working at heights all happen on the plant floor. Without permits and controls, the risk to your people is real.
Competencies that must stay current.
Forklift licences, machine operation tickets and safety competencies all expire. One worker operating without a current ticket is an exposure you can't afford.
Standards that demand evidence.
When an auditor or client asks you to demonstrate your safety and quality systems, you need proof on hand, not a scramble through paper records.
Rapid Contractor Management Keep every contractor compliant on the plant floor
Maintenance crews, installers and specialist contractors each carry their own obligations. Rapid holds them all in a single source of truth.
- Competencies, licences, insurances and SWMS in one place

Questions
Questions and answers
A few things manufacturing teams ask us before booking a demo.
What software do manufacturers use to manage contractor safety and compliance?
Manufacturers use Rapid Contractor Management to pre-qualify contractors, store their licences, insurances and SWMS, and track expiry dates with automatic reminders. Combined with Rapid Induct for site inductions and Rapid Access for check-in, only trained, compliant contractors are allowed onto the plant floor. The dashboards give safety teams a live view of compliance across every contractor and site.
How can manufacturers reduce forklift and pedestrian incidents on the floor?
Rapid Monitor uses AI computer vision on your existing cameras to detect risks such as forklift-pedestrian proximity, people in restricted zones and missing PPE, then turns those detections into trends you can act on. Rather than reviewing footage after an incident, you can see where near-misses cluster and address the cause. The real value is in the insights that drive measurable safety improvement, not just the alerts.
How do you make sure contractors are inducted before they enter a factory?
With Rapid Induct, contractors complete an online site induction before they arrive, and Rapid Access denies entry at check-in if that induction or their compliance documents are not current. Because the products share data, a contractor inducted for one requirement does not have to repeat work that already applies. This removes paper inductions done at the gate.
What is the best way to manage permits for hazardous work in a plant?
Rapid Permit To Work lets you issue and validate permits for high-risk tasks such as hot work, confined space entry, working at heights and isolation before the job starts. The permit confirms the right controls and approvals are in place and links to induction and access records so only competent, authorised workers proceed.
How can a manufacturer track PPE compliance across the site?
Rapid Monitor can detect missing PPE such as hi-vis vests and hard hats through AI on your existing cameras, and report compliance rates and trends over time rather than relying on spot checks. This shows whether interventions are working and where to focus, with detections able to be anonymised.
How do manufacturers report and learn from safety incidents?
Rapid Incident Reporting lets any worker or contractor log an incident or near-miss from their phone or a desktop, with reports centralised for investigation and trend analysis. Because it shares a platform with monitoring, access and contractor data, you can connect an incident to the conditions and people involved and track corrective actions to completion.
