GC projects and trade projects (working for a general contractor)
Tell LaunchPad Safety whether you control the gate on a project (GC / CM / CMAR / Prime) or work for a GC (Trade / Specialty), add the GC's manual for the agent, and reuse orientations from the library.
LaunchPad Safety works for general contractors and for the trades that work for them. What it offers on a project depends on who controls the gate.
The two kinds of project
| GC / CM / CMAR / Prime | Trade / Specialty / Self-perform | |
|---|---|---|
| Who | Contracted with the Owner; you control the gate | Working for a GC; the GC controls the gate |
| Site sign-in | QR code at the gate for everyone: subs, visitors, deliveries | No gate of your own (no QR poster, visitors or site tablet) |
| Orientation | Site orientation for everyone entering | Crew orientation for your own crew going to that job |
| Check-in | Everyone on site, by company | Your crew: from the app, the foreman checks in the crew with him |
| Daily Log (Manpower) | One line per company on site | Your crew's line, in your own Procore project |
Set your company's default
- Settings → Connect Procore and settings, under the Procore company: How your company works on these projects.
- Choose GC / CM / CMAR / Prime (contracted with the Owner) or Trade / Specialty / Self-perform (working for a GC).
- Optional: What your company does (for example "petroleum systems: tanks, piping, dispensers"). The agent uses it for crew orientations and JHAs. Save.
A company with two Procore accounts (one as GC, one for its self-performing trade) sets each one.
Set a project differently
Open Site sign-in, choose the project, and use This project: at the top: the company default, GC / CM / CMAR / Prime, or Trade / Specialty. The page changes at once.
The GC's manual (trade projects)
Under Setup & crew orientation, The GC's EHS manual or site-specific safety plan: upload the GC's manual or plan for that project (a text-searchable PDF). On that project the agent considers it with the OSHA and EPA regulations, your company rules and your own EHS manual: the crew orientation, JHAs and toolbox talks drafted for the job, and site photo reviews. Where they differ, the stricter rule applies, and answers say whose rule it is ("GC's manual: …"). Replace it when the GC issues a new revision; Remove takes it off the project.
Reuse orientations: the Safety library
- Every approved orientation is saved to Safety library → Site orientations automatically, and follows its project as it changes.
- Rename one (for example "Petroleum crew orientation") to make it your company's own starting point.
- On a new project: Setup → Start from the library, pick it, Use it. It's saved as a draft for you to check the site details and hazards, then approve.
