A signed sheet proves a name was written. It does not prove the person was on site. Arkvos records GPS coordinates at the moment of each check-in and measures them against the jobsite boundary, so location is part of the evidence rather than an assumption.
The worker's own device reports its position as they check in. Nothing is typed by a supervisor after the fact, which is the step where paper and spreadsheet records lose their evidentiary value.
Each jobsite carries a geofence radius. A check-in from outside it is flagged rather than silently accepted, and with strict geofencing enabled it is rejected instead of becoming a valid attendance record.
The dashboard map draws the same circle the server enforces. If a boundary is centered on the office rather than the work area, or drawn wide enough to include a parking lot across the street, you can see that before it matters.
Location is one of three things captured together: a live photo, GPS coordinates, and a timestamped attendance record sealed on write. Any one of them alone is weaker than the three together, which is the point.
Yes. Workers scan a QR code with their phone's native camera and the check-in runs in the browser, which requests location permission the same way any website does. There is no app to install and no account for the worker to create.
The check-in cannot record a verified location. Depending on the site's configuration it is either flagged as unverified in the record or rejected outright under strict geofencing. It is never recorded as if location had been confirmed.
Consumer phone GPS is typically accurate to within several metres outdoors, which is well inside a normal jobsite geofence. Accuracy degrades indoors and in dense urban areas, which is why the geofence radius is configurable per site rather than fixed.
Location spoofing is possible on a rooted or developer-mode device, which is why Arkvos does not rely on GPS alone. Each check-in also captures a live photo and a timestamped attendance record, so a spoofed location still has to be accompanied by a photograph of the right person at the right time.
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.
