Staffing agencies occupy an unusual position under OSHA: as a co-employer, the agency shares responsibility for the safety of workers placed at a host employer's site, while having limited control over conditions there. Documentation of what the worker was told, and when, is often the agency's primary defense.
OSHA's temporary worker initiative treats staffing agencies and host employers as jointly responsible for the safety and health of temporary workers. Agencies are expected to know the hazards at the placement site and to ensure their workers received relevant training — and to be able to demonstrate it.
An agency placing four hundred workers a year across dozens of hosts would pay per-seat pricing on effectively their whole book of business. Flat pricing removes that: unlimited placements, unlimited hosts, one monthly number.
Each check-in captures the worker, the briefing, the timestamp, the GPS location, and the company name the worker is associated with — so records can be filtered and exported per host employer when a specific client or their insurer asks.

Under OSHA's temporary worker initiative, staffing agencies and host employers are treated as joint employers sharing responsibility for the safety of placed workers. The specific division depends on the arrangement, but agencies are generally expected to know site hazards and verify their workers received appropriate training.
The strongest evidence is a per-worker verified check-in capturing a live photo, GPS coordinates, and a sealed timestamp at the briefing itself — rather than a signature sheet held by the host employer.
No. Pricing is $349 per month flat with unlimited workers, so placement volume does not affect cost.
Yes. Each check-in captures the associated company name, so records can be filtered and exported per host when a client or insurer requests documentation.
