Spreadsheets cannot keep your site compliant

Most contractors track competencies in spreadsheets. A worker's CSCS card expires on a Tuesday. Nobody notices until Friday when the HSE turns up for an unannounced inspection. The spreadsheet says the card is valid because nobody updated it. The filing cabinet with the photocopy of the card is in the head office, not on site.

Under CDM 2015, principal contractors must ensure that every worker on site has the skills, knowledge, and experience to carry out the work they are assigned. The Building Safety Act 2022 has raised the bar further for higher-risk buildings, with the HSE now actively enforcing competence requirements under the new regulatory regime.

When you manage hundreds of workers across multiple sites, many of them employed by subcontractors, keeping track of who holds what qualification and when it expires is a full-time job. Spreadsheets do not send reminders. They do not block a worker with an expired card from entering your site. And they certainly do not survive an audit.

How AttendIQ tracks competencies

AttendIQ gives every worker a digital passport where all competencies, qualifications, and certifications are stored, tracked, and enforced automatically.

Worker passport

Every worker has a digital passport that holds all their competencies, qualifications, and certifications in one place. The passport travels with the worker across employers and sites. Admins see a clear overview of what is current, what is expiring, and what is missing.

Confidence scoring

Every competency record carries a confidence score from C1 to C6. API-verified records (CSCS, EUSR, Gas Safe) receive C6. PC admin entries receive C4. Supply chain entries receive C2 or C3. You can set minimum confidence thresholds on access rules so only adequately evidenced competencies count.

CSCS verification

Enter a CSCS card number and AttendIQ verifies it in real time via the CSCS commercial API. Card type, status, and expiry are pulled directly from the source. Nightly re-verification runs for cards approaching expiry so you are never caught out by a lapsed card.

Automated expiry reminders

Reminders are sent at 90 days, 30 days, and 7 days before a competency expires. Both the worker and their employer admin are notified. When a required competency expires, the access rules engine blocks site entry and tells the worker exactly which qualification needs renewing.

How it works

1

Define requirements

Set which competencies are required at each level of your hierarchy: organisation, project, site, or zone. Attach minimum confidence scores to each requirement.

2

Record and verify

Admins enter competencies manually, import via CSV, or let workers upload their own certificates. CSCS and EUSR records are verified automatically via API. Every record gets a confidence score.

3

Enforce at the gate

When a worker clocks in, the access rules engine checks every required competency. Missing or expired qualifications block site entry. The worker sees all reasons in one message, not one at a time.

Frequently asked questions

How does AttendIQ verify CSCS cards?

AttendIQ integrates with the CSCS API to verify card numbers in real time. When an admin enters a CSCS card number, the system checks the card status, type, and expiry date directly with CSCS. Verified competencies receive the highest confidence score, meaning they are trusted without further evidence. Nightly re-verification runs automatically for cards approaching expiry.

What is a confidence score and why does it matter?

Every competency record in AttendIQ carries a confidence score from C1 to C6 that indicates how the record was created and how much it can be trusted. C6 is the highest confidence, assigned to records verified via the CSCS API or uploaded directly by the worker. C4 is assigned when a PC admin enters the record manually. Lower scores apply to supply chain entries. Access rules can require a minimum confidence score for site entry, giving principal contractors control over evidence standards.

Can workers upload their own certificates?

Yes. Workers can photograph or upload certificates directly from the AttendIQ app. Worker-uploaded evidence receives a C6 confidence score by product design, because the worker is the most reliable source for their own qualifications. The certificate image is stored against the competency record and can be reviewed by an admin at any time.

How do expiry reminders work?

AttendIQ sends automated reminders at 90 days, 30 days, and 7 days before a competency expires. Reminders go to both the worker and their employer admin. When a required competency expires, the access rules engine blocks the worker from clocking in to any site that requires that competency, and tells them exactly which qualification needs renewing.

Can I track competencies across my supply chain?

Yes. Supply chain companies invited to your projects manage their own worker records, including competencies. As a principal contractor, you see live compliance data for all supply chain workers assigned to your sites. You set the competency requirements at site level, and AttendIQ enforces them at clock-in regardless of which company employs the worker.

Stop chasing expiry dates. Start enforcing them.
