People without a phone: the site tablet and crew sign-in
Let workers without a phone take the orientation and check in on a dedicated site tablet, or on their foreman's phone.
Not every worker has a smartphone. Two ways cover them, and both record where it was done.
1. A site tablet at the trailer
Provide a dedicated tablet or laptop for this at the site: kept at the trailer, charged, and on the trailer Wi-Fi. Don't use someone's personal phone. 1. On the website, open Create Site Orientation, then People without a phone. 2. Click Create the tablet link, then Copy the link. Open it in the tablet's web browser (email it to yourself, or type it in), add it to the tablet's home screen, and leave the tablet on that page. 3. Workers find their name (Type your name) or tap I'm new here (no phone number needed), take the orientation the first time, and check in or out. The tablet says All set and goes back to the start for the next person. 4. Keep the link private: it isn't the poster's QR code, and it can look people up by name. If the tablet is lost or replaced, click Replace the link; the old link stops working at once.
2. On the foreman's phone
A foreman (or anyone on a crew) who has completed the orientation can sign in crew members from their own company: 1. On their phone, after scanning the poster's QR code, they tap Sign in a crew member who has no phone. 2. They find the person or tap I'm new here. The crew member reads the orientation (or the foreman reads it to them), answers the questions and signs with a finger, then is checked in. 3. Done: next person, or Done: back to me to return to the foreman's own screen. 4. Leaving the site. When the foreman taps Check out, his page lists his crew still on site. He goes through them one by one: Leaving with me: check out for anyone going with him, Staying on site for the rest; then Check me out. Anyone who leaves and comes back checks in again, per the site's safety policy. The roll call shows the crew left on site as crew of him, with ⚠ (foreman) has checked out.
Foremen who use the LaunchPad Safety app check in their crew from the app instead: see Site sign-in in the app. Tell your foremen about this at the kickoff meeting.
Good to know
- The Workers tab shows where each person took the orientation: their own phone, site tablet, or on (foreman)'s phone.
- Someone helped on another device stays signed in on their own phone if they have one.
