Send Onboarding Invitation to Suppliers

Gather and organise all the essential safety documents from your Suppliers in one convenient place before they begin their work on site.

Simply by sending your Suppliers an Onboarding Invitation, this will guide them to easily upload their SWMS/RAMS along with opening the necessary Permits to Work that your business requires, and completing the necessary documents for the Plant/Equipment they plan to bring to your site. This ensures that they've taken care of the required documents you need before they embark on specific activities.

Upon receiving all the safety documents required from your Suppliers, Company/Site Hosts will then have the opportunity to thoroughly review each document and give the green light before work commences. 


Prerequisites 🚨

Here are the prerequisites that will need to be completed prior to Onboarding Suppliers:

  • Suppliers must be set up and listed in the Site Suppliers Directory. 
  • Should you wish for Suppliers to complete your companies Induction material/s prior to arriving on site, all induction material must be built into 1Breadcrumb to enable Suppliers to complete the material prior to commencing work on site. Additionally, the site-specific induction material should be linked to the respective site, and the Off-Site Inductions feature must be enabled in the Site Settings, where applicable.
  • Permit to Work forms must be built into 1Breadcrumb to enable Suppliers to open permits prior to commencing work on site.
  • Plant/Equipment forms must be built into 1Breadcrumb to enable Suppliers to fill out appropriate checklists for the Plant/Equipment they intend to bring onto the site.

❗ Please note, the availability of modules will be restricted based on the terms outlined in the enterprise agreement that your company has engaged in ❗
