Lost safety sign-in sheets

A lost sign-in sheet is not a filing problem. In an inspection or a lawsuit, a briefing you cannot document is treated as a briefing that did not happen — the work was done and the credit is gone.

Why sheets get lost

They live in trucks, job boxes, and dashboards between the meeting and the office. They travel weekly at best. They are filed by whoever has time, wherever there is room. Loss is not carelessness — it is the predictable output of that workflow.

The record that cannot be lost

A verified check-in is stored the instant it happens. There is no physical object between the briefing and the file — nothing to transport, nothing to misfile, nothing to soak in a truck bed.

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.

One-click audit export

Every briefing exports as an audit-ready PDF formatted for OSHA 29 CFR 1910 and 1926, DOT/FMCSA, and the Canada Labour Code. When someone asks for documentation for a specific worker on a specific date, the answer takes seconds, not a search through storage boxes.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if OSHA asks for a sign-in sheet we lost?

You cannot document the training, which for many standards is close to not having conducted it. Inspectors can cite for missing training documentation, and in litigation the gap is argued as evidence the training never occurred.

Can we recover from years of incomplete paper records?

You cannot recreate the past, but you can cap the exposure: every briefing from your first verified check-in forward is documented permanently. The gap stops growing the day you switch.

How much does loss-proof records 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.
