Working with a provider like Comply Flow, for example, enables organisations to consolidate all of their safety management tasks in one, easy-to-use online portal. You can invite contractors and send requests for them to submit pre qualification information and other applicable documents and certificates. Employees can also be invited to upload relevant information, such as licences and certificates. These can all be completed directly in the online system.
Comply Flow’s user friendly dashboard allows you to easily request, monitor and manage relevant documentation and information. As well as having the capability to enable alerts to be sent to relevant personnel when a document is requested, uploaded or due to expire.
Incorporating all contractor information into an online system enables your organisation to not only set personalised requirements and criteria for suppliers to meet and maintain, but can help verify that both you and your suppliers are and remain compliant with any relevant legislation and legal requirements. Using a digital company safety management solution also allows your organisation complete visibility as to where you, and your contractors, are compliant with relevant legislation and regulations, where hazards and risks may be present, and enables reminder notifications to be sent to incomplete employee and contractor profiles.
It’s quick, easy and ensures your employees and contractors are work-ready and compliant faster.
Comply Flow isn’t just for large enterprises. With our solution, Suppliers can become ‘Comply Flow accredited’ (level 1, 2 or 3) for a small fee.
