Introducing Contractor Attestations for Enhanced Site Security

We’re excited to introduce Contractor Attestations, a new add-on features that help sites streamline contractor access, reinforce accountability, and strengthen compliance across all vendors. This enhancement supports our ongoing mission: helping sites quickly identify qualified contractors while maintaining a secure, consistent entry process that’s easy to manage. 

What Are Contractor Attestations and What Are the Benefits?

A contractor attestation is a formal acknowledgment that confirms a contractor understands and meets your site’s requirements before arriving on-site. Attestations may be a signed statement or may require a supporting proof document, such as a certification or training record, when verifications need to be validated.

For example, a site may require all contractors to hold a current CPR certification. With attestations, you can require vendors to either sign an attestation form confirming compliance or upload the CPR certificate as proof before contractors begin work. This helps ensure that required qualifications are met and documented consistently.  

For sites where safety, security, and regulatory readiness matter, attestations offer an efficient way to confirm expectations and ensure contractors meet key standards long before they reach your facility. 

Why Attestations Matter

Leveraging attestation can do more than just help you meet regulatory standards; it’s another way to filter out unqualified contractors, help reduce risks, protect your business through formal documentation, and demonstrate that your facility has taken proactive measures to ensure safety and security. 

Attestations serve as formal, documented acknowledgment that can help keep contractors accountable by testifying that qualifying requirements and standards are met, and policies are fully understood to help you maintain the integrity and security of your site. By requiring contractors to attest to qualifications and compliance requirements, you also add an additional layer of documented verification that can help you mitigate potential threats such as fraud, policy misrepresentations, and security breaches. Additionally, attestation documents enable you to instantly produce a signed acknowledgement in the event of an audit, avoiding holdups and keeping projects moving forward. 

How Does it Work?

The attestation process is designed to be effective while staying simple to manage. Sites can request attestations at either the individual contractor level, submitted alongside background screening orders, or the company level when requirements apply to all personnel from a vendor organization.

Completed attestations are stored within the contractor’s Certified Contractors profile and can be exported or printed whenever documentation is needed. When your policies or requirements change, you can request new or updated attestations to ensure records remain accurate and aligned with current standards.

Flexible Options for Every Site

Attestation options are designed to adapt to your operational and compliance needs: 

• Request individual or company-level attestations based on how your requirements apply. 
• Allow self-certified attestations or require supporting documents such as certifications, licenses, or training records. 
• Update or renew attestations anytime if your site’s standards or compliance needs change. 

This flexibility ensures your process remains consistent while giving you control over how requirements are validated and maintained. 

Another Way to Simplify Contractor Management and Compliance

With contractor attestation, site managers no longer need to manually track policy acknowledgments through spreadsheets, emails, or file uploads. Instead, everything is automated and centralized within the Certified Contractors portal, allowing you to track and verify documents in real-time. Our portal also allows contractors to complete attestations anywhere, so contractors on the move can complete the process quickly and enter your site without additional delays. 

Contractor Attestations offer an efficient, customizable way to support site security and compliance – and we’re pleased to provide this enhancement at no cost to participating sites.
