Safety compliance record keeping

Record keeping fails at the filing step. The meeting happens, the sheet gets signed — and then someone has to collect it, file it, and be able to find it years later. Every manual step is a place records die.

Records that file themselves

Each verified check-in is stored at the moment it happens, attached to its briefing, branch, and worker. There is no collection step, no filing step, and no transport step — the three places paper record keeping actually breaks.

Retrieval is the real test

A record you cannot produce might as well not exist. Attendance history is searchable by worker, briefing, branch, and date range, so a request that would mean an afternoon in a storage room becomes a query that takes seconds.

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 safety records is an employer required to keep?

It varies by standard: OSHA 1904 governs injury and illness records, while many training standards — fall protection, lockout/tagout, respiratory protection, forklifts — require documented training, some for the duration of employment. The safe posture is records that cannot be lost, which paper cannot promise.

Who should own safety record keeping?

When records create themselves at check-in, ownership shifts from 'who collects the paper' to 'who reviews the dashboard' — a supervision task instead of a clerical one.

How much does compliance record keeping 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.
