GetOnSite help mitigate risk of Covid-19

GetOnSite has made a significant impact on the construction sector since the beginning of Covid-19, providing a solution to help mitigate risk.

GetOnSite, is leading the way in showing the importance of using cloud-based systems to work efficiently during the current health crisis. The digital solution delivers effective, easy to use inductions by eliminating repetitive face-to-face meetings and unnecessary paperwork, resulting in more time on site for contractors and less hassle and headaches for site managers.

Innovative system features include; a user friendly management portal which includes contractor log details with medical alerts, instant search at the touch of a button, a text messaging service to notify staff, contractors, crew and visitors of any changes to the induction and a facility to add questions to ensure inductees have understood their induction.

Historically, the construction industry has been one of the least digitised industries, but lockdown is accelerating the pace of change. Investing in IT and cloud-based solutions is leaving some construction firms better equipped to adapt to the new Covid-19 environment and improve productivity.

“This is becoming the new norm”, commented Managing Director, Sarah Fenwick. “Construction has been criticised for being too slow to react, but we are currently seeing the opposite. Clients have been quick to put procedures in place to open their sites safely. We have also seen a huge increase in enquiries from companies wanting to move their inductions online as soon as possible – some in just 24 hours! This is proving to be a permanent shift in working practices and feedback is always – ‘why haven’t we moved online earlier’. Early adopters of online inductions have been at an advantage as they are set up ready to update their inductions with Covid-19 information quickly. Digital technology is the only way to ensure the safety of contractors, so we expect more companies to embrace technological solutions going forward.”

GetOnSite is a simple online system designed to pre-induct contractors, staff & visitors before they arrive on site. This on-the-go tool eliminates the need for manual induction presentations and for repeated visits back to the office for missing documents, saving vital time and money.
