ApexRail Connect — the roster that's always live

Every worker we place can check in and out through ApexRail Connect, our crew safety app. Supervisors see who's on site, where, and whether they've cleared today's briefing — without walking the line to find out.

  • ✓ Geo-tagged check-in & check-out
  • ✓ Safety briefing acknowledgment built into every shift
  • ✓ A permanent, date-by-date attendance archive

Safety First, Safety Always

Safety is the job, not an add-on to it

Every worker we supply is vetted, briefed and accounted for before they set foot on site. Our consultants understand PTS, Sentinel and RISQS requirements inside out, because the people they place have to live by them.

  • ✓
    Briefed before they check inNo check-in is recorded until the day's safety brief is acknowledged.
  • ✓
    Located, not just loggedEvery check-in carries the exact site location, not just a name on a list.
  • ✓
    Archived, not erasedEvery day's roster is kept permanently for audit and incident review.

    We used to find out who showed up by walking the line. With ApexRail, I open my phone before the morning meeting and the whole roster is already there.
