Staffing agencies operations run on workers placed at client sites, changing assignments, and shared responsibility with hosts. The briefings happen — the difficulty is proving they happened, to the specific workers who were exposed, on the day it mattered.
Briefings in this industry address hazards vary by placement, which is precisely the problem — a worker may face machine guarding risk one week and forklift traffic the next, with orientation quality set by the host. A record that does not tie a specific worker to the specific talk covering the hazard that injured them is not much of a record.
OSHA's temporary worker initiative holds staffing agencies and host employers jointly responsible for temporary worker safety, with training obligations shared between them. Several of these require documented training, which is where citations attach.
In staffing agencies, the agency cannot see whether the host actually briefed the worker, and the host assumes the agency handled it. Both assume, neither documents, and the citation lands on whoever the inspector reaches first.
Each check-in records the worker's photo, GPS coordinates, and a timestamped attendance record at the moment of scan — the difference between saying a worker was trained and showing who was standing there.
Workers scan the QR code the supervisor displays and check in from their own phone's browser. Nothing to install and no password to forget, which is why adoption does not stall on the least tech-interested member of the crew.
Every briefing exports as an audit-ready PDF formatted for OSHA 29 CFR 1910 and 1926, DOT/FMCSA, and the Canada Labour Code, with the attendance evidence attached rather than summarized.
OSHA's temporary worker initiative holds staffing agencies and host employers jointly responsible for temporary worker safety, with training obligations shared between them. Documentation is usually requested during OSHA inspections that name both employers, client contract requirements, and workers' compensation disputes over which employer was responsible.
No. Workers scan a QR code and check in through their phone's browser — no app, no account, no password. A typical check-in takes about 90 seconds.
Plans start at $89 per month, with unlimited participants and check-ins on every plan. Operator and Place limits vary by plan, with no hardware required. Free 14-day trial with no credit card.
Yes. Every briefing across every location appears on one dashboard as it happens, so leadership can see which crews held their talk and who attended without making calls.

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.
