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 would pay per-participant pricing on effectively its whole book of business. Arkvos removes participant-volume charges; choose the tier that fits the operators and Places managing those placements.
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.
A one-click PDF showing which of your placed workers attended which briefing, where they physically were, and a record-integrity hash confirming the record has not been altered since capture.
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 timestamped attendance record at the briefing itself — rather than a signature sheet held by the host employer.
No. Participant and check-in volume does not affect cost. Plans start at $89 per month and vary by operator and Place capacity.
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.
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.
