Contractors & specialist trades · Primary market
CDM 2015 expects the people you appoint to have the skills, knowledge, training and experience for the work, and everyone on site needs a suitable site-specific induction. TIQPlus holds cards, tickets, inductions and refreshers per operative and resolves them into a single answer: is this person site-ready, and if not, what is missing?
For principal contractors and subcontractors with roughly 100–2,000 operatives
The problem
It is not one standard applied once. It is a matrix of site, task and expiry that shifts every time a crew is reassigned.
One site wants a particular card scheme and a client induction, another adds task-specific requirements, a third has its own rules again. The same operative is ready for one and blocked on the next, and a spreadsheet per project stops working the first time crews are moved mid-week.
The risk: an operative turned away at the gate on the morning of a pour.Card schemes, plant and equipment tickets, working at height, confined space, asbestos awareness, first aid and face fit testing all renew on different intervals. There is no single date to watch, which is why lapses tend to be found late.
The risk: work done by someone whose ticket expired last month.PUWER requires that people using work equipment have received adequate training, including in the risks and the precautions. That is a per-person, per-equipment record, and it is usually the one nobody can produce quickly.
The risk: no evidence of training for the plant someone was operating.On a multi-contractor site the principal contractor is expected to be able to show that everyone on site is competent and inducted, subcontracted crews included. Collecting that by email, per subcontractor, per project, produces an answer that is out of date before it is filed.
The risk: prequalification stalling on paperwork you cannot produce.How it works
Readiness evaluated against the site, before anyone travels to it.
Build a requirement set for each project — card scheme, site induction, client-specific requirements — and separate sets for high-risk tasks such as confined space entry, lifting operations or work at height.
Assign operatives to a project and the roster resolves to ready, expiring or blocked against that site's requirements, with the reason attached to each blocked name.
Site-specific induction and toolbox content can be completed on a phone the day before, with a knowledge check recorded per person, so the first morning is not spent in a cabin.
Renewal windows trigger automatically, and records for subcontracted crews sit alongside your own, so a client's evidence request is an export rather than a round of emails.
The record
Filtered to a project, a trade, a task or a date, and current at the moment you export it.
| Record | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Site readiness status | For any project, who is ready, who is expiring inside the window and who is blocked, with the reason for each. |
| Cards and qualifications | Card scheme membership, NVQs, plant tickets and trade qualifications with issue and expiry dates per operative. |
| Site induction | Who completed the site-specific induction for which project, when, and what version of the induction they took. |
| Task and equipment training | Work at height, confined space, asbestos awareness, lifting operations, manual handling and equipment-specific training under PUWER, held against the tasks each operative is authorised to do. |
| Toolbox talks and briefings | Attendance recorded per operative per talk, rather than a signature sheet photographed and filed. |
| Health surveillance prompts | Face fit testing and other periodic requirements tracked with the same expiry logic as training. |
| Subcontractor records | Competence evidence for subcontracted crews working under your appointment, carrying the same fields as direct employees. |
Who uses it
One view of competence across every live project, with early warning on expiries that would take a crew off a task.
Confirm the crew planned for Monday is ready for Monday's work, before the crew is on the road.
Answer a client's or principal contractor's evidence request with an export rather than a round of emails to every subcontractor.
Underneath
The requirement sets, evidence types and reporting above are configuration, not a separate product. The same platform runs learner, manager, admin and HR portals, generates training from your own documents, and exports the records you need.

FAQ
Yes. Each site carries its own requirement set, and an operative's readiness is evaluated against the site they are being assigned to. The same person can be ready for one project and blocked on another.
Yes. Subcontracted personnel can be held as records against a project with their own requirement set, so the site roster reflects everyone working there rather than only your payroll.
No. Cards and tickets come from the relevant scheme and approved providers. TIQPlus records them, tracks their expiry, and delivers the site induction, toolbox and internal training that sits around them.
Access can be issued without a company email account and training runs on a personal phone. Records are held against the operative, not the mailbox.
Yes. Upload your existing induction pack, RAMS or toolbox material and TIQPlus can turn it into a module with a knowledge check, or you can import existing SCORM content.
