Checking In to a Job Site
Some project sites require workers to check in upon arrival and check out when leaving. This helps maintain accurate attendance records and provides a clear record of who was on site throughout the day.
When you’ll use this
-
You’ll only need to check in/out if the jobsite is set up that way by the GC.
-
If your job site doesn’t require check-out, you may only be asked to check in.
What you need before checking in
-
Your phone (or a kiosk/host device if the GC provides one)
-
The job site’s QR code (usually posted at the gate/trailer) or a link from the site team
-
Your correct Visitor Type and Subcontractor Company (if prompted)
How to check in (arriving on site)
Common Issues
“I can’t see the check-out option”
-
Some sites only require check-in.
-
If your GC requires check-out and you can’t find it, ask your foreman or site team what method they want you to use.
“I checked in under the wrong company/visitor type”
-
Tell your foreman or site team as soon as possible.
-
If you haven’t submitted yet, go back and correct it before completing check-in.
“I forgot to check out”
-
Let your foreman or site team know.
-
Follow their instructions. They may ask you to check out when you remember, or they may handle it on their side, depending on the job site setup.
Why GCs require check-in/out (why it matters)
This process helps the job site team:
-
Know who is on site (and who has left)
-
Run accurate emergency roll calls
-
Keep clean records for compliance and reporting
-
Reduce reliance on paper sign-in sheets
Need help?
If you’re unsure what your jobsite requires, ask your foreman or the GC’s site safety team — they can tell you the exact check-in/check-out process for that project.
