Knowing exactly who is on your job site is a critical component of site security and emergency preparedness. This log tracks physical presence, distinct from standard time sheets used for payroll.
Understanding Crew Attendance
An attendance log records every individual (employees, subcontractors, and visitors) present on the job site on a given day.
Key Information to Include
- Name and Company: Identifying the worker and their employer.
- Time In / Time Out: When they arrived and left the site.
- Role/Trade: What work they are performing.
- Safety Acknowledgment: Confirmation they have received site safety orientation.
✨ Benefits of Digital Tracking
- Emergency Preparedness: Provides an accurate headcount during evacuations.
- Security: Deters unauthorized personnel from entering the site.
- Liability Protection: Proves whether a specific subcontractor was on-site during an incident.
Best Practices & Workflow
Implement a single point of entry for the job site where everyone must sign in digitally. Do not allow workers to start tasks without signing the log.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Do subcontractors need to sign in?
Absolutely. You carry liability for the site; you must know exactly which subcontractor crews are present.
How does attendance differ from time sheets?Attendance is about physical presence and security (who is here). Time sheets are about labor allocation and payroll (what did they do and for how long).
