Built for Public-Sector Safety and FAR Contractor Compliance

Federal agencies, state DOTs, municipal public works, and the contractors that serve them all face safety briefing and recordkeeping requirements — sometimes under federal OSHA, sometimes under state-plan OSHA, sometimes under FAR clauses. ARKVOS handles all three with verifiable, exportable records.

Federal, State-Plan, Equivalent Coverage

Arkvos generates briefings aligned to federal OSHA (29 CFR), state-plan OSHA (CA, WA, OR, MI, etc.), and public-sector-equivalent rules where private-sector OSHA doesn't apply directly.

FAR Contractor Flow-Down Documentation

Federal contractors must flow safety requirements (FAR 52.236-13 and agency-specific clauses) down to subs. ARKVOS gives the prime a roll-up view of every sub-tier crew's briefing compliance.

Municipal Public Works

Pre-written talks for road work (MUTCD/manual on uniform traffic control), water/sewer (confined space), facilities maintenance (electrical, fall protection), and parks operations.

Procurement-Ready Records

Agencies issuing safety-conditioned awards (FHWA, GSA, DOE, DOD) receive PDF/CSV evidence packages aligned to their submittal requirements.

FedRAMP Path

ARKVOS is on a FedRAMP-aligned hardening track for federal-civilian agencies. Data residency in US-only regions is the default.

Frequently asked questions

Does federal OSHA cover state and municipal workers?

Federal OSHA doesn't directly cover state and local government workers in most jurisdictions — but state-plan states (CA, WA, OR, MI, NY public-sector, etc.) extend equivalent protections. ARKVOS supports both regimes with the appropriate citation references.

Can a prime contractor track sub-tier compliance under FAR?

Yes. Primes invite subs as branches; subs invite their sub-subs. The prime sees roll-up compliance two tiers deep without managing the chain — meeting the spirit and letter of FAR 52.236-13 flow-downs.

Is ARKVOS available on GSA schedules or sourcewell?

ARKVOS is pursuing GSA schedule and cooperative purchasing arrangements. In the meantime, agencies can procure under standard SaaS subscription terms with FAR-compliant data and security clauses.

Where is data hosted?

US-only regions by default. Selfies are encrypted at rest, scoped per agency, and auto-purged after 90 days. Arkvos (the AI backend) is constrained from receiving PII and is configurable to disable for sensitive deployments.

Already holding an OSHA citation?

Arkvos offers a free OSHA citation response generator. Upload the citation and get a formal response letter, a corrective action plan with dates, and a checklist of evidence to attach. Employers have 15 working days from receipt of a citation to contest it. Open the free citation responder.

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.
