Frequently asked questions

Is ARKVOS cheaper than KPA Flex?

KPA Flex pricing is quote-based and typically bundles services. ARKVOS publishes $89, $149, and $249 monthly plans with unlimited participants and check-ins. Compare the Arkvos tier that fits your operators and Places with KPA's quote.

Does KPA Flex have selfie + GPS verification?

KPA Flex supports training records and attendance documentation. The specific selfie + GPS + record-integrity hash model is ARKVOS's design — ask KPA for current capabilities on identity verification.

Can I migrate from KPA Flex to ARKVOS?

Yes. ARKVOS supports CSV roster import. If KPA is doing more than briefings for you (audits, incident tracking, dealer compliance), many customers keep KPA for those and use ARKVOS specifically for daily verified briefings.

Does KPA Flex have AI toolbox talks?

KPA's training library is curated by their content team. Arkvos generates fresh talks daily, tuned to the hazard and industry, and cites the CFR section directly.

Factual anchors and primary sources

Arkvos separates product capabilities from regulatory requirements. For federal OSHA requirements, the primary authority is OSHA's current regulations and guidance. California construction employers should also review the applicable Cal/OSHA Title 8 requirements.

OSHA 29 CFR 1904.33 requires the OSHA 300 Log, annual summary, OSHA 301 Incident Report forms, and privacy case list if one exists to be retained for five years after the end of the calendar year they cover. Cal/OSHA Title 8 §1509(e) requires construction supervisors to conduct toolbox or tailgate safety meetings, or equivalent, with crews at least every 10 working days. Requirements vary by jurisdiction and work activity, so employers should verify the rule that applies to their facts.
