Step 1: Understanding the BuildPass Admin App
The BuildPass Admin app is designed for project administrators who need to manage various aspects of a construction project. Here's what you can do with the Admin app:
Access all project-related forms.
Manage daily logs and toolbox talks.
Approve orientations, certifications, and other important documents.
Step 2: The Worker App - What is it for?
The Worker app is primarily for workers who need a more streamlined and personalized experience with BuildPass. Here are some key features of the Worker app:
Downloadable from the App Store.
Allows workers to manage their site orientations.
Allows QR code scanning upon arrival, selecting Worker or Visitor status.
Step 3: Accessing BuildPass without the Worker App
Workers can still access BuildPass without downloading the Worker app. Instead, they can use their phone’s browser to complete orientations, sign onto JSAs (Job Safety Analyses), and share certifications.
Step 4: Advantages of Using the Worker App
Despite not being a requirement, there are some advantages to using the Worker app:
Profile Management: Workers can manage their profile, including personal information and work details, for easy access and updates.
Certification Management: The app allows workers to handle their certifications efficiently. For example, if a certification like a white card expires, they can update it in the app promptly.
Project Navigation: If workers are involved in multiple projects within the same build, the app allows seamless navigation between them.
Form Completion: Workers can complete project forms directly within the Worker app, enhancing functionality and productivity.
Step 5: Making the Decision
If workers only need to check in, complete site orientations, share certifications, and sign onto JSAs, the Worker App is not necessary—they can use QR codes and the browser.
For a more convenient and complete experience, the Worker App is recommended.
While not mandatory, the Worker App enhances accessibility, efficiency, and organization. Choose what works best for you!
