You take their word for it. An inspector won't.
Most GCs ask trades if their workers are certified, and trust the answer. When something happens, that trust is not a defence, and the name on the file is yours. SiteFolio verifies every worker's certificates against your site's requirements and keeps the records that show you did your part.

What lands on you
- $1,500,000
- maximum fine for a director or officer under Ontario's OHSA. Not the company. The person.
- 12 months
- maximum term of imprisonment for an individual convicted under the OHSA
- The constructor
- carries broad responsibility for site health and safety. On your projects, that's you.
When an inspector, auditor, or incident investigator arrives, they don't ask the company anything. They ask you. And the only answer that helps is a record with a date on it.
SiteFolio supports the administrative workflow behind your health and safety obligations. It doesn't replace them.
One setup. Every trade knows exactly what to do.
Define your site's requirements once. SiteFolio turns them into a guided workflow for every subcontractor you invite, and into records you can stand behind.
From signup to your first trade invited: one 90 minutes call, with us on it.
Step 1 · You set the bar
Set up your site requirements once
Contracts, business documents, and the certifications each trade needs, with required, recommended, and optional levels and deadlines. Requirements for "all trades" apply automatically to everyone on site. This becomes your documented standard for the project.

- Electrician License (309A)*
- Arc Flash Awareness*
- Aerial Work PlatformOptional

Step 2 · Trades self-serve
Trades get a guided checklist, not another email chain
Each subcontractor accepts an invite, signs agreements, uploads business docs, adds their workers, and attaches certifications, step by step, with nothing left to interpretation. They always know what's done and what's still missing.

- Certificate of Insurance (COI)Expires Mar 2027
- WSIB Clearance CertificateUploaded
- Add your workers2 of 6 workers added
- Worker certificationsWaiting on workers
Step 3 · Compliance checks itself
Certifications matched to trade types, automatically
SiteFolio matches every worker's trade type against your site's required certifications, and tracks expiry dates. Gaps surface before a worker walks on site, not after something happens.

Drill down to any worker
Every worker has a compliance card: what's uploaded, what's missing, and what's expiring, with previews and downloads one click away. When someone asks for proof, you have it.
Who you're dealing with
You are handing us your records. You should know who we are.
SiteFolio was built inside a working general contractor to fix its own trade compliance problem on active residential sites. Not by a software company guessing at construction. Call any of us directly.
