We all know keeping track of your workforce can be a time consuming manual process, especially on complex projects with hundreds of workers.                                                                                                                                        

Firstly, worker inductions can be an endless process of documentation handling - have you ever seen a site manager having to source a doc in a filing cabinet that’s in a shambles? 

Secondly, there’s a distant lack of transparency when it comes to the expiration dates of certifications and qualifications - with manual handling you can lose track of the status of your workforce fast.

Thirdly, keeping track of who’s checked in/ checked out on site each day - well, this is impossible without an easy to use mobile app that can tell you who’s on site and when, and what days and hours they’ve visited historically.

At Veyor we heard your collective deep sighs. That's why we’ve created our new Worker Induction and On-site Check in/Check-out features for all your daily site management needs. 

Let Us Give You a Helping Hand. Or Ten.

Our new On-site Inductions and On-site Check in/Check-out features were created to streamline your processes, power site efficiency, eliminate unnecessary paperwork - and save you time and money.                                                         

Here’s some of its key features: 

Online Worker Inductions
  • Customised online inductions to suit your site requirements
  • Personal details and qualifications of workers tracked and recorded
  • Sign off feature on project documentation 
  • Global profiles which can easily transfer details to other sites
  • The ability to assign induction numbers 
  • One system for turnstile and non-turnstile projects
Check-in / Check-out Tools
  • QR code sign in system
  • The ability to automatically remove date/time recordings from database

By reducing the time required to complete induction forms and induct workers on site - as well as reducing the number of applications needed - you can expect a 50% reduction in administration required on site. 

Our new feature also notifies workers and contractors of expiry on their inductions, certifications and qualifications which prompts them to update documentation before it expires - saving you from drama.  

So What Are the Benefits?

Contractors using our On-site Inductions feature have reported significant time savings on-site. Inductions have been completed beforehand and site managers have been able to wave goodbye to scanning endless records. Records have been able to be retrieved from mobiles rather than filing cabinets and contractors have been able to mitigate legal risks through having visibility on all expired qualifications.

Users of our Check-in/Check-out feature have been given a live view of who was on site and when. Users could easily verify contractor hours and check the status of projects from anywhere, any time. They were also able to improve on site safety for their workers and secure visibility. 

For Industrial Relations managers they were able to keep unions on side by not recording hours, but knowing who was on site.


Is it Hard to Implement?

When it comes to implementation we’ve done all the heavy lifting for you. Veyor will obtain your site induction templates and project specific details and within 1 week will create a project specific site and induction flow tailored just for you. No worries. 

We’ll then provide an initial Training Session 01 with your key Builder Team in charge of delivering inductions and managing logistics so that there is no question left unanswered. 

This will be closely followed by a Training Session 02 with your nominated Key Logistics personnel to run through the logistics system with subbies and the site team.

We reckon you’ll give our new On-site Inductions and On-site Check in/Check-out features a big thumbs up, alongside some key industry leaders such as; Lendlease, Shape and Ockham.

What Are Some Of The Challenges Of Crane Management ?

It being a complex process that requires careful planning, organization, and coordination, there are several challenges that Site Managers or Superintendents face when managing their cranes, such as:

1. Weather Conditions

Changing weather can significantly impact crane operations. High winds, rain, and snow can make it unsafe for cranes to operate, and extreme temperatures can affect the crane's performance. Site Managers or Superintendents need to keep an eye out for any difficult weather conditions and plan ahead for alternatives such as shifting materials using internal lifts or having set areas to store the additional materials when cranes can’t operate. For example, some site teams set up warehousing areas on-site to store surplus materials that helps teams keep busy when there is a slow down in material delivery flow.

2. Site Constraints

Many construction sites have limited space, making it challenging to maneuver cranes around. Careful planning of the crane’s movements needs to be coordinated to avoid any obstacles that could be in its path. Superintendents or Site Managers also need to consider the crane's height and weight limitations to avoid damaging the site's infrastructure. Additionally, the location of the crane, access to unloading zones on roads, and staging areas need to be taken into consideration to ensure that the crane can operate safely and efficiently.

3. Availability of Cranes

Depending on the size and complexity of the project, multiple cranes may be required. Site Managers or Superintendents need to ensure that there are enough cranes available to meet the project's needs and that the cranes are being used effectively to avoid downtime. When this isn’t planned properly at the start of the job, supplementary mobile cranes are often brought in, which come at a high cost.

4. Scheduling Conflicts

Construction projects involve many different subcontractors, each with their own schedules and timelines. Scheduling conflicts can easily arise when multiple teams need to use the crane at the same time, leading to delays and inefficiencies. Good collaboration between all parties involved is essential to ensure that the assets are being used efficiently.

5. Human Error

Crane operators and other on-site personnel need to be trained to operate the crane safely and efficiently. Poor communication, lack of experience, and scheduling clashes can lead to accidents on-site. In order to minimize the risk, Site Managers or Superintendents need to provide proper training and supervision to ensure that everyone on the site is collaborating and communicating. When new high risk activities are undertaken, it is also crucial that site teams perform an appropriate lift study that is audited by all key stakeholders prior to work commencing.
