For site & operations managers
Know who's on site, and whether they should be.
Assured Contractors gives site and operations managers a live picture of their site: who's ready to work, who's through the gate, which permits are live, what's booked on the crane and hoist, and who to account for at muster.
It runs in a browser on the gatehouse tablet, the site office PC and your phone. Nothing to install, no turnstiles to fit, and the same record your H&S and procurement teams use.
- Gate mode on any tablet
- Bookings that refuse double-booking
- Muster from live attendance
Sound familiar?
What this usually looks like today.
The 7:30 gate rush
Forty operatives in twenty minutes, a sign-in book, and a security officer who can't tell an in-date CPCS card from one that ran out in September.
Two lifts, one crane
The tower crane was booked twice for Thursday morning, and the appointed person found out when both gangs turned up.
A roll call from a clipboard
When the fire alarm goes, the muster list is whoever signed the book: not the people who left at lunch, and none of the visitors.
Deliveries nobody planned for
An artic turns up with steel, the laydown area is full and the banksman is on the other side of site.
What changes
What changes with Assured Contractors?
Gate mode
Search a name, see a live readiness check for your site, then allow, refuse or refer with a reason. Check-in and check-out build live attendance.
Site access & musterBookings that can't clash
Cranes, hoists, plant, deliveries, laydown and escorts on a list, week or month calendar. Double-booking a person, equipment or a vehicle is refused.
Bookings & logisticsOperators' cards checked
Book a crane operator, slinger/signaller or plant operator without an in-date CPCS or NPORS card, or a MEWP operator without IPAF, and you're warned.
Bookings & logisticsMuster from live attendance
Start a muster or a drill and the roll call lists everyone checked in, including visitors signed in at the kiosk. Mark each person safe.
Site access & musterVisitors sign themselves in
A kiosk link and QR poster for each site. Visitors use a reception tablet or their own phone, accept your site rules and their host is told.
Visitor sign-in kioskEquipment that's fit to use
An equipment register with inspection due dates. Quarantined equipment can't be booked.
Vehicles & equipmentHow it plays out
07:30 at the main gate
A site manager on a mid-size commercial build, on a Thursday.
Today's bookings, checked over a brew: tower crane 08:00 to 12:00 with a CPCS-carded operator and slinger/signaller, two steel deliveries, the hoist after lunch.
The gate opens. Security searches each name in gate mode; most are ready and checked in within seconds.
An electrician's ECS card expired last week. Gate mode refers him; the site manager sees the reason, and the decision is recorded.
A building control inspector scans the QR poster, signs in on her phone and accepts the site rules. Her host gets a notification.
Fire drill. The roll call lists everyone checked in, the inspector included. Marshals mark each person safe.
Illustrative example.

See how it worksDo we need turnstiles or card readers?
No. Gate mode is software: gate staff use a tablet, phone or computer to search for a person and record the decision. Assured Contractors doesn't connect to turnstiles or biometric readers.
What happens when someone isn't ready at the gate?
Gate staff can refuse or refer them to the site manager, and the reason is recorded. If the site manager decides they can work (say, a renewed card is in the post), they can override that person's readiness with a reason and an end date.
Are visitors included in the muster roll call?
Yes. Visitors who sign in at the kiosk appear on site access and on the muster list until they sign out, alongside contractors checked in at the gate.
Does it work without a signal?
No. Assured Contractors is a web app and needs a connection. On sites with poor mobile signal, run gate mode on a device connected to site Wi-Fi.
Can contractors see what's booked?
Contractor admins are told when their people are booked, and bookings can be exported as .ics files for any calendar.
