The site gate (with Gate & Access) checks each person against your requirements. These options let people fix a safety gap there and then, on the gate's tablet.

Set the site's options

  1. Step 1: Open the site's page and find Safety on this site.
  2. Step 2: Under Signed SWMS at the gate, tick the provider categories whose people must have signed a current, approved SWMS for this site, then choose Save gate rule. Only an school admin can set it. Builders and businesses can also give this to a safety officer (every site).
  3. Step 3: Under Inductions at the gate, tick Workers can do the induction on the gate's tablet, and if you want, Each worker must do the inductions themselves (their company's completion doesn't cover them on this site). Choose Save induction options.

What happens at the gate

  • Missing or expired induction: when the tablet is allowed, the result offers Do the induction now. The worker sees only this site's inductions they still need, takes them in the same player (in their language if one is published), signs with their own name, then chooses Check in again.
  • No signed SWMS: the gate refuses with "Hasn't signed a current SWMS for this site" and offers Sign the SWMS now. After signing, Check in again. The business itself counts as signed: it submitted and signed the SWMS.
  • Toolbox talk sign-on: on the day of a talk, the gate's home screen shows Toolbox talk sign-on. People choose their name from who's signed in and sign.
  • Safety plan sign-on (with Planning): people signed in choose Safety plan sign-on and sign the version in force.

Common questions

  • Can a worker do it for someone else? No. Each person signs with their own name, checked against the name their employer has for them.
  • Is the refusal recorded? Yes, like any refusal at the gate, and the site's people are told as usual.
  • What does the record say? That it was done at the gate, and which gate user's tablet it was on.
The tablet only ever shows the site its front desk belongs to.
