Tech firm adds Covid details to software
A TECH firm has added Covid vaccination information to software which is used by tens of thousands of contractors across the UK.
Sheffield-based Reset Compliance Systems, which employs 22 people, has a product that speeds up the process of deciding whether or not to allow external contractors onto a site.
Its cardholder software is currently used in more than 300 public and private sector sites nationwide, including NHS hospitals, schools, colleges, airports, manufacturing sites and some national sports grounds.
Now the company has launched an update to allow a person’s Covid 19 vaccination status to be added, giving an organisation the power to decide whether to allow that person to proceed to work on its premises.
Gary Duce, the managing director of Reset, said: “Anyone who manages contractors on their premises or estate has a legal duty of care to ensure that everyone is kept safe and secure and our software allows them to do this.
“This development allows anyone responsible for bringing contractors onto their site to have visibility of the individual workers’ Covid vaccination status, alongside their qualifications and competences.”
Contractors using the Reset card system upload their qualifications and competences onto their personal card which they can then use to gain almost instant access to a site where they are due to work.
The numbers of contractors using the update are relatively small but, as the vaccination programme extends, Mr Duce expects a rapid take-up in contractors registering their status.
