QR code safety meeting check-in

QR check-in works because it removes every step workers resist. There is nothing to install, nothing to remember, and nothing to pass around a crew wearing gloves.

How it works

The supervisor publishes the talk and displays its QR code on a phone, tablet, or printout. Workers scan with their phone camera, which opens the check-in page in the browser. They enter their name, take a selfie, and the check-in seals with GPS and a timestamp.

Each talk gets its own code

Codes are specific to the briefing, so a check-in can only attach to the talk it was issued for. A photographed code from last week does not check anyone into today's talk.

No app, no account, about 90 seconds

Workers scan the QR code the supervisor displays and check in from their own phone's browser. Nothing to install, no password to forget, and the record is complete when the last worker scans.

Attendance you can prove

A signature proves somebody wrote a name. An Arkvos check-in records the worker's photo, GPS coordinates, and a timestamped attendance record at the moment of scan, tied to that specific talk.

One-click audit export

Every talk 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.

Frequently asked questions

How does QR code check-in work for safety meetings?

The supervisor displays the briefing's QR code; workers scan it with their phone camera and check in through the browser with a photo. The system records GPS and a timestamped attendance record. No app or account is involved.

Can someone reuse or share the QR code?

Codes are tied to a specific briefing and check-ins are subject to timing controls and duplicate prevention at the database level, so a shared or old code does not produce a valid check-in for a different talk.

How do I document QR check-in?

Document what was covered, who attended, when, and where. Arkvos records the talk content and each worker's verified check-in — photo, GPS, timestamped attendance record — so the documentation is created during the talk rather than reconstructed afterward.

How much does Arkvos cost?

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, no credit card.

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.

Factual anchors and primary sources

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.
