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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
SiteKey closes the gap between your induction process and your site gate — so compliance is enforced automatically, every time.
No manual checking, no spreadsheet lookups, no gate conversations about whether someone's done their induction. SiteKey handles it automatically.
Tell SiteKey what induction is required for your site — which training, any expiry periods, and whether different contractor categories have different requirements.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
