Certifications
Certifying a site safety skill
On an industrial site, safety competency is checked before access, not after. The documents in this field name the attested acts — risk assessment, work permits, event reporting — and are verified online.
The acts a site checks at the gate
A client opening their site to a contractor checks the people assigned by name. The document answers exactly that check: it names the person, the acts they are assessed able to perform, the supervised volume and the date. The reference opens from a gatehouse, with no account, which makes it usable at the moment the question arises.
- Run a workstation risk assessment and keep the risk register
- Issue a work permit and organise co-activity
- Lead a safety talk and induct a newcomer on site
- Handle a near miss and run a root-cause analysis

Client and contractor questions
Can a gatehouse verify a document?
Yes: the reference opens on the public page from any browser, with no account, and shows the title, the validated competencies, the date and the status. That is precisely the situation open verification exists for.
Can a whole team be certified?
Each person receives their own personal document and reference. A client therefore checks individual by individual, which is what a prevention plan requires, and the company keeps the list of references for its file.
Does the content follow site frameworks?
The blocks are written on the acts a prevention plan checks: risk assessment, permits, lockout, co-activity, event reporting. The detail of each block is published on the qualification page, with its supervised volume.
Which rung suits a site manager?
Level 6, manager and professional, for whoever answers for the function before leadership, and level 7 for whoever carries the risk policy of the whole company. Both appear in the table above with their volumes.
