GPS jobsite verification

Location is the third leg of attendance evidence. A record without place cannot answer whether the safety briefing happened at the jobsite where the work — and the hazard — actually was.

Where, captured automatically

Each check-in records the GPS coordinates of the worker's phone at the moment of scan. Combined with the photo and sealed timestamp, the record answers who, when, and where in a single act.

Why location matters in a dispute

Inspections and litigation turn on site-specific training: was this crew briefed on this site's hazards? Coordinates placing the crew at the site during the briefing are direct evidence; a sheet signed 'somewhere, sometime' is not.

Attendance you can prove, not just record

A signature proves somebody wrote a name. An Arkvos check-in records a photo of the worker, GPS coordinates, and a SHA-256 timestamp, sealed at the moment of scan. That is the difference between saying a worker was trained and showing who was standing at the briefing.

Faster than passing a clipboard

Workers scan the QR code the supervisor displays and check in from their own phone's browser — no app, no account, no password. A typical check-in takes about 90 seconds, and the record is complete the moment the last worker scans.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is GPS check-in at a jobsite?

Modern phones typically resolve within a few meters outdoors — more than enough to place a worker at a jobsite. The coordinates are recorded as captured, alongside the photo and sealed timestamp.

Does this track workers all day?

No. Location is captured once, at the moment of check-in, as part of the attendance record. Arkvos is briefing verification, not workforce surveillance.

How much does GPS verification cost?

One plan at $349 per month, unlimited workers. No per-site fees, no tiers, no hardware. The free 14-day trial requires no credit card, and the platform supports teams from 10 to 100,000 workers.

Do workers need to install an app?

No. Workers scan a QR code and check in through the browser on their own phone. There is no app, no login, and no account to create.

How long are records kept?

Attendance records are retained and remain exportable for as long as your organization needs them. OSHA retention requirements vary by standard — some training records must be kept for the duration of employment — so records that cannot be lost or discarded are safer than any paper retention policy.

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.
