On a multi-employer worksite, a subcontractor's worker getting hurt can produce a citation for the controlling employer. Whether the sub's crew attended the briefing stops being their paperwork problem and becomes yours.
Under OSHA's multi-employer citation policy, a controlling employer can be cited for hazards it should have detected and corrected. Documented briefing attendance across every trade on site is core evidence of reasonable care.
Subcontractor workers check in exactly as your own crew does — scan, photo, GPS, timestamped attendance record — so there is no weaker tier of documentation for the crews you control least.
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.
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.
Yes. Under OSHA's multi-employer citation policy, a controlling employer can be cited for hazards it should have detected and corrected through the exercise of reasonable care. Documented briefing attendance across all trades is evidence of that care.
They scan the same QR code your crews do — no app, no account, nothing for their company to adopt. That low friction is what makes site-wide participation realistic.
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.
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.
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.
