Workforce by Avetta mobile safety app

The Workforce by Avetta mobile app offers digital ID cards that empower workers to use their smartphones to take LMS training, become compliant and access worksites securely.

Using the app, workers can immediately get onsite to be safe and productive. They can check their requirements, roles and training needed for specific sites, and projects in the app. In addition, they no longer need to carry different worker ID cards, because the app’s Worker ID Wallet stores all cards on the same device and in the same app, conveniently accessible any time.

Workers can also check whether they meet the site access requirements at home or on the go, before they travel to site. Non-compliance can be remedied before arriving at the gate. The app offers enhanced security, because workers need to activate the app using two-factor authentication — meaning only invited and authenticated workers use the app and access sites.

While Workforce by Avetta supports QR code check-in technology, QR codes can create security concerns because they do not require additional authentication methods, such as passwords or biometric scans. This means they are easy to steal, borrow, replicate, share or forge, leading to unqualified and non-compliant workers getting access to dangerous worksites.

By contrast, BLE Bluetooth access technology delivers encrypted, short-range communications which require the worker and device to be in proximity, with multifactor authentication using techniques like passwords, biometrics and digital certificates.
