The Work Health and Safety (WHS) Act places a legal obligation on every business to ensure the health and safety of its workers. Within the construction industry, principal contractors carry ultimate responsibility for everyone working on their project sites, including workers employed by subcontractors.

​

Builders are required to ensure that contractors and workers maintain current compliance records, including:​

• General Construction Induction (White Card) credentials

• Contractor licences and insurances

• Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS)

• Evidence of worker training and competency

• WHS Management Plan requirements

• Site-specific risk assessments and safety information

​

Managing these requirements across multiple contractors, subcontractors and projects can be complex, time-consuming and difficult to maintain.

What makes Certify Network different is that it is not simply a document management system.

​

The construction industry is built on constantly changing relationships between builders, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers. Traditional compliance systems rarely reflect these relationships, making it difficult for builders to see who is actually performing work on their sites.

​

Certify Network uses a unique network structure where every organisation is represented as a contractor and can be connected to other contractors as either a principal contractor or subcontractor. Because businesses often perform both roles, the system accurately reflects real-world construction relationships.

​

This allows builders to gain visibility across multiple levels of subcontracting and better understand who is working on their projects.

Contractors are frequently required to provide the same licences, insurances, SWMS and worker records to different builders and projects.

​

With Certify Network, compliance records are maintained once and can be securely shared across multiple projects and clients. This reduces duplication, improves efficiency and ensures information remains readily available when needed.

​

Benefits include:​

• Centralised contractor and worker compliance records

• Secure cloud-based document storage

• Reduced administrative burden

• Improved document accuracy and currency

• Faster contractor onboarding

• Secure sharing across multiple projects and organisations

Traditional compliance processes often rely on documents collected at a single point in time. As licences expire, insurances are renewed and worker details change, records can quickly become outdated.

​

Certify Network provides a continuously maintained compliance environment where contractors and workers can update their records through the Onsite app. Information is securely stored in Microsoft Dataverse and Microsoft Azure and made available to authorised parties across the network.

​

The result is a more reliable and current source of compliance information for everyone involved in a project.

Technology alone does not ensure compliance.

​

Our dedicated Compliance Team reviews and certifies submitted compliance documents, assists contractors and workers to maintain current records and supports builders in managing compliant contractor networks.

​

By working directly with contractors and their workforce, we help reduce compliance risk while helping builders build stronger, more productive relationships with their subcontractors.

Administrative compliance is only one part of workplace safety.

While Certify Network manages compliance documents and contractor relationships, our Onsite mobile app provides the field tools needed to improve behavioural safety and day-to-day site management.

​

Together, Certify Network and Onsite support:​

• Worker onboarding and inductions

• Site risk assessments

• Safety communications

• Compliance document management

• Contractor and worker engagement

• Improved safety outcomes on construction sites

Certify Network uniquely combines:​

• A contractor network model that mirrors real construction industry relationships

• Visibility across multiple levels of subcontracting

• Secure cloud-based compliance management

• One compliance profile shared across multiple projects

• Microsoft Dataverse and Microsoft Azure security and reliability

• Dedicated compliance review and certification services

• Seamless integration with the Onsite app

• Support for both administrative compliance and behavioural safety

 

Certify Network helps builders, contractors and workers work together more efficiently, maintain compliance with confidence and create safer construction projects.
