How do I collect and manage Certificates of Insurance from my sub-contractors?

The SafetyOne™ platform can be used to collect and manage certificates of insurance for both the organization and it’s sub-contractors.

Setup

From the administrator website, the Mobile Form must setup.

1. Create a mobile form.
From the Mobile Forms/Create Mobile Forms screen, add a new mobile form. It can be as simple as adding the ability to upload a file and the Expiration Date. But, it’s up to each organization can collect as much or as little information as they want.

2. Turn on Alerts
From the Mobile Forms/Settings screen, enable Alerts to be sent to the appropriate internal recipient. This person will receive an email notification when someone submits their certificate of insurance through the platform. Click the Alerts icon and select the person(s) from the list.

3. Enable the Mobile Form for the Project
From the Administration/Projects/List Projects screen, enable the mobile form for the Projects for which the certificate will be uploaded.

Pro Tip: Enable the Certificate Mobile Form for all Projects and make it a standard form that is enabled every time a Project is added.

4. Create a Folder in the File Cabinet
You’ll want to organize your Certificates of Insurance in the File Cabinet. Add a folder for your Certificates of Insurance. You’ll add them to the folder once they have been received.
