Why
Why contractor management matters
A contractor's ute rolls in, the job starts, and somewhere in the background sits a question no one's answered: are they inducted, insured and licensed for what they're about to do? When crews change weekly and labour hire comes and goes, that gap is where incidents and liability live.
The law doesn't treat a contractor as someone else's problem. As the business running the site, your duty of care extends to them too1, and induction is a basic part of meeting it2. Sorting it at the gate, every time, is a lot harder than sorting it before they leave home.
How it works
How AirAgri manages contractors
Move the paperwork to before they arrive, and make the gate the easy part.
Invite and onboard
Contractors complete your induction and upload licences and insurances from their own phone, before the job.
Verify up front
Documents are checked and dated. Anyone missing a requirement is flagged before they're approved.
Approve and check in
Cleared contractors check in at the gate. The ones who aren't, don't get waved through.
Keep it current
Insurances and tickets are tracked with expiry reminders, so approval doesn't go stale mid-season.
