Recording attendance and verifying it are different acts. A record says a name was written down. Verification says a specific person was demonstrably present at a specific time and place — and can prove it later.
Identity (who checked in), time (sealed, not editable), and place (where they stood). Each Arkvos check-in captures all three: the worker's photo, a timestamped attendance record, and GPS coordinates, bound to the specific briefing.
A signature proves somebody wrote a name. An Arkvos check-in records a photo of the worker, GPS coordinates, and a timestamped attendance record, sealed at the moment of scan. That is the difference between saying a worker was trained and showing who was standing at the briefing.
A timestamp that can be edited afterward is an assertion, not evidence. The record-integrity seal means any alteration to the record after check-in is detectable, which is what makes the record defensible under scrutiny rather than merely stored.
Workers scan the QR code the supervisor displays and check in from their own phone's browser — no app, no account, no password. A typical check-in takes about 90 seconds, and the record is complete the moment the last worker scans.
To capture evidence of presence — identity, time, and location — rather than a mark that anyone could have made. Verified attendance can withstand the question 'how do you know this worker was actually there?' A signature cannot.
The check-in captures a photo at the moment of scan and the GPS position of the phone used, so checking in for an absent coworker produces a record showing the wrong face — the opposite of the anonymous buddy-signing that paper invites.
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. The free 14-day trial requires no credit card, and the platform supports teams from 10 to 100,000 workers.
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.
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.
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.
