Site Orientations

Site orientations without the trailer bottleneck.

Construction site orientation and onboarding software - QR orientation link, comprehension checks, and 21+ languages.

One flow, two jobs: clear the worker fast, and create the portable safety profile that certificates, training, permits, equipment, and subcontractor records read from that day forward.

01Act 1 · At the gate

One scan. Site orientation starts.

No trailer visit. No paper packet.

Scan the orientation link. No app download required.

Crews can complete orientation on their own phone, a tablet, or a borrowed device without waiting for a trailer session or app-download training.

Orientation is the moment the worker enters the safety system. The scan, language choice, comprehension check, credential context, and completion record all become the first worker profile.

The gate becomes the start line.

By the time the crew assembles, the profile is already active.

A worker activates their profile while the crew is still gathering. The superintendent watches it happen live — who is cleared, who is in progress, who has not started — instead of chasing signatures at the end of the shift.

No clipboard reconciliation. No end-of-day data entry.

From signed packet to living worker profile.

Comprehension before access

Attendance is not understanding. Verify it.

A worker can sit through orientation and still miss the point. SALUS renders the orientation — content, quiz, and signature — in the worker's preferred language, 21+ of them, and adds a comprehension check after the content: miss a question, and the worker is routed back to the relevant section of the safety video before moving on. The record that lands in the file proves more than presence.

  • Pass rates per site and per sub
  • Failed topics flagged for follow-up
  • Re-watch loop until understanding is confirmed
  • A defensible training record for the file

The signature proves they sat there. The quiz proves they got it.

The profile activates

The last step of orientation activates the worker profile.

Clearing orientation creates something the trailer never did: an active worker profile — identity, employer, orientation record, comprehension score, signature. Everything downstream reads it: certificates attach to it, training builds on it, permits and equipment checks reference it, subcontractor readiness rolls up from it.

Orientation isn't the end of a checklist. It's the birth of the record.

Orientation Made Easy

Create and share same-day

New site, new hazard, same-day orientation link.

A site admin builds the orientation — site-specific videos, rules, hazards, required forms, attached training — and shares it by QR code or link. Update a live orientation without re-rolling it out. Run a different bundle per site, per sub, per zone.

The site changed this morning. So did the orientation.

Rosie reads the readiness data

Rosie turns orientation data into site readiness.

Rosie, the AI Admin & Risk assistant, watches what the orientation data actually says. She flags the subcontractor with a low pass rate on fall protection and recommends a toolbox talk before elevated work begins — a comprehension gap caught at the gate instead of on the scaffold.

A failed quiz question at the gate is a toolbox talk before Monday.

OSHA and induction

Orientation records support OSHA and induction expectations.

The office shouldn't learn who completed orientation at the end of the day. SALUS shows it live, across every site — by worker, company, crew, and trade. Subcontractor readiness stops being a phone call.

"Are they cleared?" is a glance, not a phone call.

Business impact

Faster mobilization. Cleaner readiness data.

The most expensive hour on a jobsite is the one a worker spends waiting to be oriented. Site-specific orientations run 2–8 hours per new worker on US commercial projects, almost always blocked on one safety officer in a trailer — multiplied by construction turnover and every rotating sub crew. Safety gets a verified record, operations gets crews moving faster, and leadership gets better visibility into who is cleared before work starts.

Speed

Workers start from a QR code and clear orientation before the trailer becomes the bottleneck.

Understanding

Comprehension checks prove more than attendance and route workers back when they miss a point.

Portability

Worker profiles carry the orientation record into certificates, training, permits, equipment, and sub readiness.

FAQ

Site orientation software, construction site orientation, orientation link, and cleared worker FAQ

What is construction site orientation software?
Construction site orientation software delivers site-specific safety orientations digitally: workers scan a QR code, watch the site's content, pass a comprehension check, and are recorded as cleared to work. It replaces trailer sessions and paper sign-in sheets with a tracked, auditable record of who was oriented, on which site, in which language.
What should a construction site orientation include?
A strong site orientation usually covers site rules, known hazards, emergency response, PPE, reporting expectations, SDS access, required forms, and any site-specific training. SALUS lets teams package that content into a QR orientation link with video, forms, signature, comprehension checks, and proof of completion.
Does OSHA require a safety orientation for new construction workers?
There is no single OSHA orientation standard. Still, 29 CFR 1926.21(b)(2) requires employers to train each employee to recognize and avoid unsafe conditions and know the regulations that apply to their work. OSHA also expects training in a language and vocabulary the worker understands, which is why multilingual orientation and comprehension checks matter.
Can workers complete orientation without downloading an app?
Yes. Workers scan a QR code or open an orientation link and complete the full orientation — video, quiz, signature — in a mobile browser. No app download, no trailer session, and shared devices work when a worker arrives without a phone.
Can workers complete orientation in Spanish or other languages?
Yes. SALUS supports 21+ languages. The worker watches, answers the comprehension check, and signs in their preferred language, while the office keeps a single searchable record.
How do comprehension checks work?
Each orientation can include a quiz tied to its content. A wrong answer routes the worker back to the relevant section of the safety video before they can proceed, and the final record stores the score, signature, language, and timestamp.
Does orientation create a worker profile?
Yes. Clearing orientation activates the worker profile: identity, employer, orientation record, comprehension score, signature, and site context. Certificates, training, permits, equipment checks, and subcontractor readiness can read from that profile instead of starting from paper.
Does the orientation record travel with the worker between jobsites?
Yes. Completing orientation activates a portable worker profile that can be recognized across SALUS-enabled sites. Returning workers skip what they have already completed instead of starting over at every gate.
What is the difference between a site orientation and a site induction?
Same process, different vocabulary: 'site induction' is common in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, while North American contractors often say 'site orientation.' SALUS supports the same flow either way: QR access, site-specific content, comprehension checks, and a portable completion record.
Can the office see orientation status in real time?
Yes. Dashboards show complete, in-progress, not-started, and failed-quiz status by worker, company, crew, trade, and site. Rosie can flag subs or topics that need attention before mobilization.
How is SALUS different from an orientation video link?
A video link delivers content. SALUS creates the completion record, verifies comprehension, connects the worker profile, and feeds certificates, training, subcontractor visibility, and meeting records.
What should we bring to an orientation demo?
Bring your current orientation packet, QR poster, sign-in sheet, quiz, language requirements, or gate process. SALUS can map the path from scan to cleared worker profile.
