What is Breadcrumb? A 2-minute intro for Workers

Breadcrumb is a jobsite safety tool your General Contractor uses to help keep everyone safe and accountable on site.

 

Breadcrumb helps you:

  • Get oriented faster (sometimes before you even arrive to site)

  • Sign in to the jobsite without long lines or paper logs

  • Keep your safety documents and training licenses in one place (so you don’t repeat the same admin at every site)

  • Stay in the loop with important jobsite messages

  • View your company's Site Specific Safety Plans, Safety Data Sheets, and other safety documents right on the app

What you’ll do in Breadcrumb

1) Complete your orientation (first time on site)

Depending on the job site, you might get an orientation link ahead of time, or you’ll scan a QR code at the gate/trailer on your first day.

You’ll typically:

  • Confirm your details (name, phone, company, etc.)
  • Review site rules and safety info
  • Sign the required documents
  • Click "Check-in" to officially check in for the first time

2) Add your cards/certifications (as needed)

If the GC requires it, you can upload things like:

  • OSHA 10/30
  • Equipment tickets/licenses
  • Any other required certifications for the job

Good to know:

  • You usually only upload these once—Breadcrumb keeps them on your profile for the next time you sign into a site that uses Breadcrumb.

3) Check in and check out  (daily)

Most sites will have a QR code to scan (your foreman may also be able to sign you in, depending on the setup).

Once you’ve finished orientation on your first day, daily sign-in is quick:

  • Scan the QR code posted on site
  • Click the Check-In button
  • Scan the QR code again at the end of the day to check out, or click the "Check-out" button on the app

 

Do I need to download the app?

Not always.

  • The orientation and check-in process can be completed via the web on your mobile device
  • If you'll be checking yourself in and out every day, the app can make things faster and easier
  • The app will allow you to view safety documents submitted by your company and other site-specific announcements and documents

Why does this matter?

Breadcrumb helps the jobsite team:

  • Know who is on site (important for emergencies and evacuations)
  • Keep required safety records organized and audit-ready
  • Reduce paperwork so crews can get to work sooner

 

Troubleshooting

Not sure what to upload? Ask the site team what’s required for this job site.
Orientation not loading? Close the web page/app and try again—then ask the site team if it still won’t go through.
