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-1 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-1 (the AI backend) is constrained from receiving PII and is configurable to disable for sensitive deployments.
