A contractor is injured on your site. Can you prove your process held up?

Under the WHS Act, a PCBU has a primary duty to take all reasonably practicable steps to ensure the safety of workers and others at the workplace including visitors and contractors. When something goes wrong, the question SafeWork will ask is not whether you had a process. It’s whether you can prove it was followed, consistently, at every site, every time. These three manufacturers can.

THE SCENARIO

“A contractor is injured on your site. SafeWork attends. They ask for the sign-in record, the induction documentation, evidence that safety conditions were communicated before entry, and confirmation that the contractor’s qualifications were verified. How long does it take you to produce that?”

With Ezy Sign In: every one of those records is in a single portal, exportable in minutes. The induction is captured as a PDF including any work cards the contractor uploaded, such as a White Card. The conditions of entry were acknowledged before they stepped on site, with a timestamp. The sign-in register shows exactly when they arrived and when they left.

The problem with how most sites manage this

Most manufacturing sites manage visitor and contractor access one of three ways, paper books, manual spreadsheets, or nothing formal at all. None of them produce a defensible record when it counts.

The Old Way

  • Paper sign-in books - illegible, losable, no audit trail
  • Spreadsheets filled in manually - only as accurate as the last person who remembered
  • No formal process - visitors and contractors accessing the floor unregistered and uninducted
  • No documented acknowledgement of safety conditions before entry
  • No reliable evacuation register - no way to confirm everyone is accounted for
  • No process for verifying contractor qualifications at the point of entry

With Ezy Signin

  • Timestamped digital register every entry and exit recorded, searchable, exportable
  • Visitor, host and auto sign-out - register stays accurate without manual cleanup
  • Inductions completed at the kiosk, captured as a PDF with uploaded work cards included
  • Conditions of entry acknowledged before anyone steps on site - tailored per location
  • Real-time on-site register - accurate for evacuation at any moment
  • Contractor qualifications uploaded and stored as part of the induction PDF

How Ezy Sign In supports your duty of care

Every feature is configurable per site. Your largest facility and smallest location run the same standards – managed from a single portal by the right people at each level.

Inductions with documented proof

First-time visitors and contractors complete a site-specific induction at the kiosk before entry. Each induction is captured as a PDF including any work cards uploaded by the contractor, such as a White Card. That PDF is your evidence of compliance, shareable with SafeWork or legal counsel on demand. Return visitors are recognised automatically and proceed without repeating it.

Induction expiry and automatic re-induction - key feature

Inductions can be set with an expiry date. When procedures change, a new hazard is introduced, safety requirements are updated - you update the induction content and set a new expiry. Everyone due for renewal is automatically re-inducted at their next sign-in. No manual follow-up, no one slipping through on an outdated induction.

Tailored conditions of entry

Conditions of entry are fully configurable - site safety rules, PPE requirements, hazard acknowledgements, behavioural expectations, or any other requirement. Visitors acknowledge these before entry. Every acknowledgement is digitally recorded and timestamped. Updating them when procedures change takes minutes.

Exportable records - ready when you need them

Sign-in data, induction PDFs, acknowledgements, and screening responses are all exportable from the portal. When an audit lands or an incident occurs, you’re not searching through filing cabinets - you’re pulling a report.

Screening questions with real-time alerts

Configure screening questions around your specific safety requirements – health conditions, site access criteria, induction status, or any other condition. When a response triggers a condition, the right people are notified immediately. No flag goes unnoticed; no decision is left to whoever happens to be at the front desk.

Who manages the system

A common question from WHS managers: who owns this day-to-day, and can site-level staff make changes without affecting other locations?

Super admin

Full visibility and control across all sites. Manages system-wide settings, induction content, and reporting across the entire organisation.

Site admin

Manages their specific location - configuring site-specific inductions, conditions of entry, screening questions, and local settings without affecting other sites.

Host

Receives notifications for their visitors, can sign out visitors on their behalf, and is alerted when a screening condition is triggered for someone they’re hosting

A NOTE ON SCOPE

Ezy Sign In manages the sign-in process – it doesn’t control physical access to your site. If a visitor enters without signing in, the system won’t catch that. It’s designed to work alongside your broader site access and security procedures, not replace them. What it does ensure is that everyone who does sign in goes through a consistent, documented, and defensible process every time.

Auto sign-out

Anyone who doesn’t sign out manually is signed out at a client-configured time keeping the evacuation register accurate without manual intervention.

Host sign-out

Hosts can sign out a visitor on their behalf when they leave without tapping out - so the register stays accurate regardless.

What a defensible process looks like

When an incident occurs or an audit lands, the standard isn’t perfection – it’s whether you took all reasonably practicable steps. Here’s what that looks like with Ezy Sign In in place.

Induction records that hold up

86 inductions captured as PDFs - each including content covered, timestamp, and any contractor work cards uploaded.

Screening alerts that close the loop

500 screening responses captured - automatic notifications to hosts and responsible persons when any condition was triggered.

Safety conditions always current

Update induction content, set a new expiry, and everyone due for renewal is automatically re-inducted at next sign-in.

Consistent across all 20 locations

One portal. Every site configured to its own requirements. The same standard of documentation - managed by the right people at each level.
