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.
Each check-in records the GPS coordinates of the worker's phone at the moment of scan. Combined with the photo and timestamped attendance record, the record answers who, when, and where in a single act.
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.
A signature proves somebody wrote a name. An Arkvos check-in records a photo of the worker, GPS coordinates, and a timestamped attendance record, sealed at the moment of scan. That is the difference between saying a worker was trained and showing who was standing at the briefing.
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.
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 timestamped attendance record.
No. Location is captured once, at the moment of check-in, as part of the attendance record. Arkvos is briefing verification, not workforce surveillance.
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. The free 14-day trial requires no credit card, and the platform supports teams from 10 to 100,000 workers.
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.
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.
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.
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.
