Surge manpower planning

We create staffing schedules to handle sudden increases in workers during turnarounds or outages. Our plans account for rapid deployment needs.

Subcontractor prequalification

We review your vendor list to ensure they meet safety and capability standards before hiring. This reduces risk on critical paths.

Best for: Prime contractors managing multiple vendors

Training records and badging

We maintain digital files for every worker’s certifications and required safety training. We verify that all badges are current.

Best for: Regulated industries like nuclear and refineries

Daily crew lists and orientation

We update the daily roster to match who is actually on site each morning. We also ensure new hires receive required safety briefings.

Best for: Sites with rotating or temporary workforces

Onboarding for new contract workers

We help introduce large groups of outsiders to your specific site rules and hazards. This speeds up their integration safely.

Best for: Projects adding many new workers at once

Train crews

Workers complete required safety and job training.
