Overview

Safety starts before anyone reaches the site floor

Industrial sites host contractors, auditors, drivers and suppliers alongside their own workforce. Each visitor needs to acknowledge site rules and must be accounted for if the alarm sounds.

Zapio VMS makes safety part of check-in. Contractors are pre-registered, sign your safety briefing on screen, receive a photo badge and appear in the real-time evacuation headcount together with employees.

Site safety

Contractor management built for industrial sites

Every contractor visit is recorded with who invited them, the agreements they signed and when they arrived and left. That gives safety and compliance teams a clear record whenever they need it.

Because employees can check in through Zapio VMS attendance too, the evacuation view covers everyone on site, not just visitors.

  • Contractor pre-registration with QR
  • Safety briefings signed digitally
  • Photo badges for site visitors
  • Real-time evacuation headcount
  • Employee shift attendance
