Trusted across construction sites, lifting operations and height safety throughout the UK.
Construction has one of the highest rates of workplace injury and fatality of any industry. Behind every safe site is a combination of the right equipment, the right training and, increasingly, the right technology to ensure nothing is missed.
CoreRFID has been working across the construction sector for nearly two decades; supplying RFID systems for construction sites – from asset tracking to worker safety monitoring – and providing inspection software that keeps compliance records accurate and audit-ready across some of the most demanding site environments in the UK.
Equipment moves between sites. Inspection records need to follow.
Rainbird Crane Services manages contract lifting and plant installation for some of London’s most high-profile construction projects, including 8 Bishopgate and CITI Tower.
Before CheckedOK, tracking equipment and managing inspection records across multiple concurrent sites meant manual work that was difficult to audit.

Around 2 million UK workers are at risk of developing hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) from prolonged use of power tools. The damage is irreversible, but preventable. Employers have a legal duty to monitor and limit workers’ exposure.
Ideagen (formerly Reactec) developed the HAVmeter to do exactly that. A wearable device that monitors vibration exposure in real time, it uses RFID tags
attached to tools to identify each item and its vibration profile. CoreRFID designed and developed a custom tag capable of performing
reliably in those challenging conditions, solving a reception problem that standard tags couldn’t handle.

Fifty percent of all fatalities in the construction industry are caused by falls from height. The equipment designed to prevent them carries strict compliance obligations, and a paper-based record is rarely sufficient. G&M Safety Netting has used CheckedOK to manage inspections and track the whereabouts of over 4,000 safety nets across construction sites throughout the UK.
The system has been running since 2009; proof that the right solution, properly implemented, doesn’t need replacing. SpanSet, one of the world’s leading height safety and lifting specialists, uses CheckedOK to manage inspections across its operations in multiple countries.
"Using CheckedOK has transformed the way we work."

"The CoreRFID solution makes tracking the use and testing of nets easier, helping us to manage net safety more effectively."

Knowing where tools are, and who had them last, is a persistent challenge in construction. Missing or unaccounted for tools means procurement costs, delays and gaps in the safety records.
Costain, one of the UK’s leading construction and engineering companies, used CoreRFID’s RFID tool tracking system to manage equipment across a major infrastructure project. Tags on tools combined with RFID identity cards for staff meant every tool movement was logged automatically, and only authorised, trained personnel could check out the equipment they were qualified to use.
