Stay In Compliance with The Latest CDC Guidelines with Ease
Even before the start of the pandemic, businesses across countless industries have struggled to find a way to keep up with workplace CDC guidelines to ensure a safe environment. From construction sites and manufacturing warehouses to smaller office spaces, many have turned to expensive, unreliable, timely, or disorganized systems that may leave room for error and even put the business or its employees at risk.
As we transition back into working in-person, it’s more important now than ever before to have real-time visibility of office or workplace activity, in order to keep up with:
- Changing or unclear health mandates
- Knowing who is vaccinated
- Different guidelines at different locations
- Property owner requests
- When and how many people show up at the workplace outside of the organization
The variations can feel endless.
Most business software was developed by knowledgeable workers for knowledgeable workers. Safe Site Check In (SSCI) makes it easy for even non-technical users to operate our site management and safety application. It was developed in the U.S. using the agile, cloud, security, privacy, and open source technologies as an affordable solution that requires no training or software to set up.
SSCI lets business operations managers, health and safety officers, HR managers, or even front desk administrators set up check-in sites in minutes, then customize and adapt to change needed information as CDC guidelines such as vaccination status evolve. SSCI can handle any type of user while also presenting supplemental documents, training, and informational videos, down to an individual site level. Our back-end data repository makes it easy to validate everyone who was in your office, when they arrived, and for how long, including employees, subcontractors, delivery agents, and any and all visitors.
Get full visibility of your site’s visitors in real-time with Safe Site Check In
With the latest SSCI app release, you can create an active site and QR Code in under 60 seconds. Even better, you can customize the site check-in experience per site, if needed, to stay in compliance with the latest CDC guidelines. Here are several examples of how the app works in real-world situations—including a hot topic: how to adapt site check-in for the fully or partially vaccinated.
Example 1 – Visitor types across all your sites
An HR or business operations manager or has multiple office locations across multiple states with different visitor types, each requiring different check-in flows:
| Visitor Type | Required Contact Info | Terms to Agree To | Badge Information |
| Employee | Name Phone Employee# |
6’ distancing Wear a face mask |
Welcome. Have a safe day! |
| Subcontractor | Name Phone Address Company from Pick List |
Watch a Safety Training Video 6’ distancing Wear a face mask |
Welcome. Have a safe day! |
| Delivery | Name Phone Company Items being delivered |
Visit only drop off zones 6’ distancing Wear a face mask |
Proceed through Gate A for delivery. Wait for on-site personnel before dropping off items. |
| Other | Name Phone Address City Company Host Contact Name |
View and agree to Liability Waiver 6’ distancing Wear a face mask |
Welcome. Wait for your Host to escort you. |
Several sites do not have separate delivery locations, so they need to be set up to only ask the visitor to identify themselves as an employee, subcontractor, or other. Safe Site Check In makes it easy to apply these visitor flows down to the site level.
Example 2 – Vaccination status
There are several approaches to handle visitors and their vaccination status. One approach is to use visitor types for each variation that has different check-in flows:
| Visitor Type | Terms to Agree To | Badge Information |
| Fully Vaccinated | Confirm you are fully vaccinated | Fully Vaccinated |
| Not Vaccinated | 6’ distancing Wear a face mask |
Not Vaccinated |
| Visitor who has not been vaccinated but has scheduled an appointment to receive the first dose | 6’ distancing Wear a face mask |
Not Vaccinated |
| Visitor who received second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or single dose of a Johnson & Johnson vaccine less than two weeks ago | 6’ distancing Wear a face mask |
Partially Vaccinated |
| Visitor who declines to answer if they have been vaccinated. | Confirm that you decline to indicate your vaccination status 6’ distancing Wear a face mask |
Declined to Identify Vaccination Status |
Incorporate Safe Site Check In into Your Visitor Check-In Flow
Benefits of this approach:
- You can customize the entire check-in flow: what questions to ask, what terms to agree to, even badge information for your on-site personnel to view the vaccination status in real-time (to ensure visitors not fully vaccinated are wearing masks, etc.)
- Visitor Event Reports will show everyone’s vaccination status connected to a SSCI check in records
Downside of this approach:
- The app stores data on the visitor’s vaccination status, which may be considered to be personal health information in some rare cases. Check with your HR or employment attorney if you are concerned.
Example 3 – Vaccination behavioral terms
Another approach to checking in with “Vaccination Status” is the use of terms where the visitor “checks the box” to agree to certain behaviors. For example:
- I will wear a face mask if I have not been fully vaccinated for over 2 weeks
- I will obey 6-foot distancing protocol if I have not been fully vaccinated for over 2 weeks
The terms can also include an attached Vaccination Policy Terms document (pdf) that the user must view and agree to before being granted access to a workplace.
Benefits of this approach:
- You can address behaviors around vaccination without any risk of storing personal health information.
Downside of this approach:
- You can not customize other questions or Badges based on the visitor’s vaccination status, which may be requested by some local inspectors.
Safe Site Check In makes it easy to apply either approach — either one method for all office locations and job sites or different methods as needed for certain locales.
