Contractor Registration Portal
Tablet kiosk — Site access and Safety compliance
Project Overview
A tablet check-in terminal placed at site entrances, where contractors and visitors register their arrival, declare the work they're there to do, and check out at the end of the day.
The framing that shaped every decision: this isn't a convenience product. Site check-in exists so that if the building is evacuated, someone holds an accurate list of who is inside. A contractor who forgets to check out is counted as missing. A hot-work permit collected after work has started is a record, not a control. The interface had to produce reliable compliance data from people standing in a doorway, in work gear, with no interest in filling in forms.
Project Highlights
Identification without credentials. Nobody arriving at a site has an account. Entry starts with name, mobile or email, followed by a match list tagged contractor or visitor — recognition rather than login, on a device shared by everyone who walks through the door.
Safety declarations at the point of entry. Risk assessment and hot-work permits are prompted during check-in rather than chased afterwards, at the only moment when refusing entry is still possible.
Permit capture built for a doorway. Place of work, location, contact person, company, and work period with start and end times, plus declarations for enclosed spaces and hazardous materials — staged across steps with save-and-continue rather than presented as one long form to complete while standing.
Time on site made visible. Check-in time, live elapsed duration and check-out time sit together on one screen, so the contractor sees their own status and site staff can read the terminal at a glance.
Check-out confirmed, never assumed. Ending the day requires explicit confirmation. The failure mode isn’t an inconvenienced user — it’s a roll call that says someone is still in the building.
Legible in working conditions. High-contrast red and yellow, large touch targets, minimal text per screen. Used with gloves on, in variable light, by someone who wants to be through the door.
