Site induction management for NZ worksites — verify compliance at the gate, automatically

SiteKey connects your site induction training to your site access gate — so anyone who hasn't completed their induction simply can't check in. No manual chasing, no clipboards, no compliance gaps.

Manual induction management creates gaps that put your site at risk

Most NZ worksites have an induction process on paper. The problem is enforcement — without an automated gate, people can access your site before completing their induction, and you may not know until it's too late.

Manual induction chasing

Site managers spending time chasing contractors to complete inductions before they arrive — or discovering gaps only when the contractor is already standing at the gate with a job to do.

Paper induction records

Induction completion recorded on paper or in spreadsheets that cannot be automatically checked at site entry. Someone has to manually look up each person's record — and that step often gets skipped.

Lapsed inductions

Inductions completed once and never revisited — even when site conditions, equipment, or procedures change. Without an expiry system, you have no way to know which inductions are still current.

No gate-level enforcement

Even with an induction system in place, there is no mechanism to stop a non-inducted person from entering the site. Enforcement relies entirely on someone manually checking — which is not always reliable.

Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 — site inductions as a legal requirement

Under the HSWA 2015, PCBUs have a duty to provide the information, training, instruction, and supervision necessary to protect workers from risks to their health and safety. For worksites, this duty encompasses site-specific inductions for all workers — including contractors, sub-contractors, and labour hire workers. This obligation applies before a worker accesses the site. Construction PCBUs have additional specific obligations under the Health and Safety at Work (General Risk and Workplace Management) Regulations 2016. SiteKey's compliance gate enforces this requirement automatically at check-in — making non-compliance impossible to overlook. WorkSafe New Zealand provides guidance on induction requirements for PCBUs.

Every feature your induction programme needs

SiteKey closes the gap between your induction process and your site gate — so compliance is enforced automatically, every time.

Compliance gate blocks non-inducted entry

Anyone who hasn't completed their induction cannot check in — full stop. SiteKey displays a clear message explaining what's missing. No manual override, no exceptions without an admin decision.

Induction status visible at check-in

Site managers can see induction status for any person at a glance through the admin dashboard. Upcoming completions, lapses, and gaps are all visible in one place.

Online induction training integration

SiteKey works alongside your online induction training system. Completion of the required training triggers compliance status in SiteKey — so the gate check is always based on real completion data.

Induction expiry tracking

Set an expiry period for your site induction. SiteKey automatically marks contractors as non-compliant when their induction falls outside that window — prompting renewal before they can re-enter the site.

Contractor pre-registration includes induction step

The pre-registration process for new contractors includes an induction requirement step — so induction completion is confirmed before they even arrive at the gate for the first time.

Admin dashboard shows compliance gaps

The SiteKey admin dashboard gives a clear view of who is compliant, who is not, and what's missing — so your site managers can act on gaps proactively, not reactively.

Induction compliance on autopilot

No manual checking, no spreadsheet lookups, no gate conversations about whether someone's done their induction. SiteKey handles it automatically.

1

Set your induction requirements

Tell SiteKey what induction is required for your site — which training, any expiry periods, and whether different contractor categories have different requirements.

2

Contractors complete induction before arriving

Contractors complete their induction online or at a pre-arranged session. Completion is recorded in SiteKey during pre-registration — before they arrive on site for the first time.

3

Gate checks status automatically at check-in

Every time a contractor scans their QR pass, SiteKey checks induction status. Compliant — they're in. Non-compliant — they're flagged and blocked until the requirement is met.

"Before SiteKey, I'd find out someone hadn't done their induction when they were already standing at the gate. Now it's handled before they even get here."

Site induction management — answered

What is site induction management software? +

Site induction management software is a system that tracks whether workers and contractors have completed a site-specific safety induction before accessing a worksite. It replaces paper-based induction records and manual verification checks with an automated process — typically integrated with a check-in system so that induction status is verified at the gate, before anyone sets foot on site. SiteKey combines site access management and induction compliance in a single system.

Is a site induction required by law in New Zealand? +

Yes. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA), PCBUs have a duty to ensure workers receive the information, training, instruction, and supervision necessary to protect them from risks to their health and safety. For worksites, this duty encompasses providing a site-specific induction that covers site hazards, emergency procedures, and site rules before a worker accesses the site. The duty applies to employees, contractors, sub-contractors, and labour hire workers. Failure to ensure inductions are completed is a breach of the primary duty of care under the Act.

How does SiteKey's compliance gate verify induction completion? +

When a contractor or worker attempts to check in to your site using their SiteKey QR pass, SiteKey checks their induction completion status against your configured requirements. If they have not completed the required induction, SiteKey flags them as non-compliant and blocks the check-in. They receive a clear message explaining what is missing. They cannot proceed until the induction requirement is met — preventing the scenario where someone signs in on paper without anyone verifying their induction status.

Can SiteKey deliver site induction training as well as verify completion? +

SiteKey is primarily a site access and compliance gate system — it verifies that induction training has been completed, rather than delivering the training itself. For online induction training delivery, SiteKey can be integrated with a learning management system. Capability Solutions, the company behind SiteKey, also operates a training platform at train.capabilitysolutions.co.nz that can be used for online site induction courses. Contact us to discuss how these tools can work together for your site.

How often should site inductions be renewed? +

There is no fixed legal requirement for induction renewal frequency under the HSWA 2015, but best practice is to require renewal when site conditions change significantly, when a worker returns after an extended absence, or on a periodic basis such as annually. SiteKey supports induction expiry tracking — you can set an expiry period for inductions, and SiteKey will mark contractors as non-compliant when their induction falls outside that period, prompting renewal before they can access the site.

How much does SiteKey cost for site induction management? +

SiteKey is a flat monthly fee — no per-user charges and no per-scan costs. Pricing starts from $30/month. This covers site access management and induction compliance gating for your entire site. See full pricing on the SiteKey homepage.
