After a notifiable incident, the records you have are the records that survive.
Paper sign on works, until someone asks for it back. The sheets are in a folder in the ute. One page got rained on.
It's 11pm in the carpark, the inspector is due at seven, and you're working out who was on site last Tuesday.
Anchorlog keeps that record as it happens: every sign on, every induction and every SWMS acknowledgement, time-stamped and kept seven years.
Anchorlog doesn't replace your full safety-management system. We replace paper sign on, the contractor paperwork that comes with it, and the audit-pack reconstruction that follows.
Audit pack: 30 seconds. Not 3 days.
Everything below is in every plan. You pay for how many sites you run, nothing else.
At the gate
They scan the board and put in a mobile number. No app, no account, no password.
No current induction for your site, no sign on. First time here, or theirs has run out? The sign on page takes them straight into your induction, on the same phone.
The detail: at the gate
Sign on and sign off in under 3 seconds.
Your induction is already written when you create the site, with the trade questions branching on their own. Add your own rules, documents and videos.
Their tickets go in as part of it, each with its expiry date.
Preview your questions and content on the worker's own screens before you publish, and every published version is kept.
Stays your call: who starts work.
A worker who has signed on but isn't cleared to start is flagged for you, with the reason, not sent home by the software.
In the office, each morning
One screen for every site: who's on, who isn't cleared to start and why, and what needs you today.
The detail: in the office, each morning
Expiry reminders go to the worker as the date gets close. You only hear about it if they do nothing.
SWMS, inductions and insurances waiting on you, on one screen across every site.
Approve each induction, or reject it with a reason. They can sign on while you review it.
A ticket ran out? Replace it with the new copy and the old one stays on the record.
Stays your call: the high-risk work licence report shows gaps against what your site needs. It's a report, not a gate.
Your contractors' paperworkOn sites where you switch the SWMS module on.
Subcontractors send their SWMS, insurances, certificate of currency and subcontractor's statement through one no-account link.
The detail: your contractors' paperwork
Invite a whole list of contractors in one go, and see which lines will be skipped before anyone is emailed.
Got a certificate by email? Once they've sent their first document through their link, you can upload the rest to their record yourself, with the expiry date.
Stays your call: chase what's missing in one click; you decide who works.
The day someone asks
One action pulls the pack together for the sites and dates you pick. A very large pack asks you to split it by site or by weeks.
Record a notifiable incident, attach the photos and documents, and download it as one PDF to forward.
Stays your call: Anchorlog doesn't notify SafeWork for you. That call is still yours.
Three steps. We help you bring your worker list across.
Nothing to install.
1
Set up your first site.
Put in the site's address and what kind of job it is.
The induction is already written, and you can add to it; Anchorlog hands back the site's QR posters to print.
2
Put the board on the fence.
Print the poster today. Order the Coreflute board in Anchorlog; we set up the artwork and send it to print, and it's posted to you. It's a one-off materials cost, not part of your plan.
After they induct, workers can add their pass to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. If it's re-issued, they add it again.
3
The audit pack assembles itself.
Every induction, sign on and sign off record is kept from the day it's captured and exportable on demand. Open a sample pack. No signup.
The product itself, on a sample site.
Every picture below is the product, running on a sample site built to show it.
What the worker sees
Sign on, on their own phone. Scan the board, put in a mobile number, tap. No password, no app.
A worker signs on, start to finish. Fifteen seconds, no sound.
Signed on, and the time it was recorded is the record. The pass goes in the wallet they already have: Apple or Google.
The pass, on their own phone.
Will the subbies use it?
For a worker who's done your induction, it's what the recording above shows: the sign on page, a mobile number, a tap.
The first time, the page takes them into your induction first. Everything else sits around that.
If they've been inducted on an Anchorlog site before, the new site's form arrives already filled in with their own details, their white card and their current ticket numbers once they prove their mobile by text.
They upload their other ticket photos again, and they still read this site's content, answer its questions and sign again.
The gate works before the board arrives: print the poster the day you set the site up.
If a board is copied or walks off, rotate the site's codes: every old one stops working, the retired ones are kept on record, and you replace the posters and board.
No signal at the gate? If a worker's phone has opened the site's sign on page before, the page still opens, saves their sign on or sign off on the phone, and sends it when they have signal again.
The safety content has to be marked read, reviewed or watched first: their phone reports the mark on each required block, and Anchorlog records that on the server before it lets them submit. A record of the mark, not of reading.
What you see
Who is on site now, and one worker signed on but not cleared to start, with the reason. Presence, not tracking.
Every site on one screen, and which one needs you today.
The audit pack: pick the sites and the window, one action, and every sign on, induction and SWMS acknowledgement in it comes out as one export; a very large pack asks you to split it by site or by weeks.
Statute-anchored sign on, built like infrastructure.
Anchorlog is built around the records NSW builders are required to keep.
Retention isn't an afterthought at export time. It's stamped on every induction, sign on and sign off record the moment it's created.
retention-tagged at capture · seven-year record · export
The photos and files inside it open from links that last thirty days.
The pack's own download link lasts an hour and is re-issued each time you open the export.
Pull the evidence when you export it, not months later.
The ROI view works out the hours it would take to rebuild your own sign on records by hand, at a fixed per-record estimate. It prices them at an hourly rate you choose.
A simple work-rate view surfaces from sign on data as a side-effect. It is not an analytics tool and not a productivity dashboard: it is a quiet readout of what the site is doing while you're not standing on it.
Both are in the product today.
What you hand the inspector.
Open a sample audit pack (the product's own evidence PDF) and a sample sign on record. No signup, nothing to install.
The sample is the evidence PDF on its own. A live export is a ZIP that also links to the photos and files, under the link lifetimes above.
When the question is about one week, one site or one worker rather than the whole pack: attendance and inductions export to CSV or Excel, a site's evidence summary exports as a PDF, and any one worker's full record exports as a dossier.
The roster shows who is on site and, separately, who has signed on but isn't cleared to start work, with the reason. That state is a flag for your judgement, not a turnstile.
Your contractors' paperwork.
On sites where you switch the SWMS module on, your subcontractors do their paperwork through one no-account link, and it lands with you:
SWMS, submitted and reviewed. They submit their SWMS through a token link (no account), and you approve or reject it from your queue. You get an email the first time a SWMS lands for a work package.
Insurances, through the same link. They upload their insurances, certificate of currency and subcontractor's statement, each with a place for its expiry date, and it lands in your queue for review.
Expiry, tracked per document. Any document with an expiry date on file is tracked, flagged in your alerts from thirty days out, and emailed to your owners, admins and site managers as the date approaches: the subcontractor's statement dated from the end of its period, not a made-up expiry. The date is optional at upload, and a document with no date gets no reminder.
One contractor's documents, as your site manager sees them: what is on file, what has lapsed, what was never provided.
One click, one bundle. A site's (or one contractor's) approved SWMS and the insurances on file, zipped with a cover sheet that prints each document's expiry and review state: the thing a prequalifier or a principal asks for.
Chase what's missing. Chase a contractor for a document they've never given you. One click, and they get an email with a fresh upload link. From an alert, you can also ask for a current copy of one document that's expired or due within thirty days.
Archive them everywhere, and the emails stop. Archive a contractor on each of your sites they're on, and the expiry emails to your team about their documents stop and their expiry alerts come off your list.
High-risk work, named on every SWMS. Each SWMS says which high-risk work it covers, or that none applies.
The registers the law makes you keep.
The workplace-surveillance notice is done from the dashboard, about two weeks before the site starts: you record when and how you gave it, Anchorlog emails it to your staff and to workers with an email on file, and the record exports when someone asks.
A silica worker register: who holds silica training and a record that you notified SafeWork, with the confirmation PDF kept; it counts the 28 days from when their silica work started. It records; it doesn't contact SafeWork for you.
Silica register records are kept thirty years from when the worker stops silica work, and can't be deleted inside that window.
When the silica duty is the subcontractor's, their confirmation is recorded as theirs, so you never claim an act you didn't perform.
If something happens on site.
Record what happened, who was affected, when SafeWork was told and when the site was preserved; attach photos and PDFs; download it as one PDF.
The records tied to that incident are kept longer, automatically.
Your emergency plan keeps every version, and each drill is logged against it. Each worker's induction records which plan version they acknowledged.
Who can see this, and workers' privacy.
If your privacy notice has materially changed since a worker last accepted it, they accept the new one before their next sign on.
A site manager sees only the sites you give them. Only the owner handles billing.
Anchorlog doesn't track workers while they work: their phone is asked for its location once at sign on and once at sign off.
What it won't do to your crew.
It won't rank them. The work-rate view is alphabetical, full stop. It's a record of who signed on, not a scoreboard of who worked hardest.
It won't invent a number. If the ROI view can't work one out from your own records, it says so.
It won't time their induction. It measures time on site, not how long an induction took.
It won't decide who starts work. A worker who has signed on but isn't cleared is flagged for you; a licence gap is a report, not a gate.
It won't track them while they work. Location is asked once at sign on and once at sign off.
It won't talk to SafeWork for you. It keeps the record of what you did.

Built single-purpose. Narrow on scope, broad on evidence.
Anchorlog is the statute-anchored at site induction and sign on tool for NSW builders.
The day a worker was hurt on site, the questions were simple. Who is this, who do we call, what insurances are on file? Had they been inducted to this site, seen the WHS plan, signed on to their SWMS? I watched the search for an emergency contact end up through social media. The time to have those answers is before a person walks through the gate, not after.
Your records are stored in Australia. The primary database runs in Sydney. A small number of overseas providers handle specific functions (such as payments, email, SMS and error reports), and every one of them is disclosed in our Privacy Policy. Your data exports any time while you're with us. Induction, sign on and sign off records are kept for seven years automatically, even if you close your account, and nobody has to remember to archive anything.
What does Anchorlog cost?
Three plans, all AUD incl. GST, no per-worker fees: Starter $1,490/yr (1–3 sites), Pro $3,990/yr (4–20 sites), Scale volume pricing for 21+ sites, by conversation. Monthly billing available; annual gets 2 months free. Cancel any time. Annual plans: after the 60-day guarantee, cancelling keeps your access to the end of the year you paid for. The rest of the year isn't refunded. Founding cohort: builders we invite in get Pro, for 4 to 20 sites, at the Starter price of A$1,490 a year, held for as long as you stay with us.
What would it cost me to rebuild my records by hand?
Anchorlog has an ongoing ROI view in-product. It works out the hours it would take to rebuild your own sign on records by hand, at a fixed per-record estimate. You see the number in your dashboard, not in a testimonial. The figure comes from your own attendance records multiplied by whatever you tell it an hour of digging through paper costs you; if it cannot work out a real figure, it says so instead of making one up.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Cancel any time. After you cancel, your audit pack still exports from your billing page for as long as your account exists; the worker roster we pull for you on request.
What does Anchorlog not do?
Anchorlog doesn't replace your full safety-management system. We replace paper sign on, the contractor paperwork that comes with it, and the audit-pack reconstruction that follows. We're not a scheduling tool, timesheets / payroll, project management, training-course tool, or generic compliance suite. There is no mobile app either: a worker uses the web page behind the QR code on their own phone, with nothing to install and no account to create. And an induction belongs to the site it was done at. Inducting a worker on one of your sites does not carry them across to another.
How does Anchorlog meet 'reasonable steps' defensibility?
By keeping the record you'd be asked for: every sign on and induction retention-tagged from the day it's captured and kept seven years, and an audit pack you assemble in one action rather than rebuild from memory; a very large pack asks you to split it by site or by weeks. Whether that meets 'reasonable steps' on your site is your call and your safety consultant's. Anchorlog keeps the evidence; it doesn't make the judgement.
What if a worker's phone is dead, or they've left it in the ute?
You, an admin or the site's manager can sign them on by hand from the dashboard. They still need a valid induction for that site: if they haven't done it, or it has run out, they can't be signed on this way either. Your attendance export labels it "Admin entry" and names who entered it. One exception: if the privacy notice has materially changed since they last accepted it, they have to accept the new one themselves before anyone can sign them on.
Does a finished job still count as one of my sites?
A site counts toward your plan from the day you create it, even before anyone signs on, until you mark it complete or archive it. Then the slot is free for the next job. Marking a job complete can't be undone; an archived site can be brought back if you have a slot free. Either way its induction and sign on records are kept seven years. If you try to add a site past your plan's limit, Anchorlog asks you to upgrade from your billing page. It never moves you up a plan by itself.
Does Anchorlog check a worker's ticket is real?
No, a person does, and Anchorlog keeps the record of it. Someone on your team checks the ticket and marks it verified or rejected, and Anchorlog records who decided, when, and how they checked. It tracks expiry dates and texts or emails the worker as a ticket gets close to running out, if their mobile or email is on file. An expired ticket doesn't stop them signing on; the roster flags a ticket that had run out when they signed on, for you to deal with. Each site also has a report of the high-risk-work licences its workers hold against what you've said the site needs. It's a report, not a gate.
What if a worker forgets to sign off?
Each site has an end time, 7pm unless you change it in the site's settings. Anyone still signed on when it passes is recorded as signed off at the end time, and your attendance export marks it "Auto". Anyone who signed on after the end time is signed off automatically 12 hours after they signed on, also marked "Auto", and you, an admin or the site's manager can sign them off by hand from the dashboard before then.
What about visitors and delivery drivers?
They scan the same induction QR code at the gate and tap "I'm visiting". They see the privacy notice first, then give their name and mobile, pick why they're there, say who they're seeing, and sign on the screen. They follow a visitor path, not the worker induction, and they're kept apart from your workers: listed as visitors on the on-site list until the site's finish time that day, because visitors don't sign off, with their own records, kept seven years and included when you export an audit pack.
Do I have to key all my workers in again?
No. Download the template and fill in a mobile number and the site for each worker, plus name, email, employer and trade where you have them. Save it as a CSV and upload it, up to 200 workers a file. Anchorlog shows you what it will do with each row before anything is saved, and the import doesn't text or sign anyone on. Importing puts them on your list; it doesn't induct them. Each one still does the site's induction before they can sign on, and you can copy the induction link to send them. An owner or admin runs the import.
Can my site manager see all my jobs, or just theirs?
Just the ones you give them. Invite your team by email as an admin, a site manager or read-only. A site manager sees only the sites you assign them; you and your admins see every site. Read-only can look but can't sign anyone on or mark a ticket verified. Only the owner handles billing.
Does it track where my workers are?
Anchorlog doesn't track workers while they work. A worker's phone is asked for its location once when they sign on and once when they sign off, and they can say no and still sign on, unless the site has a sign on boundary and your notice is in effect. The phone's coordinates are only kept once your workplace-surveillance notice is recorded in the dashboard and in effect, and your audit pack shows only that a location was captured, not where. Once that notice is in effect, if you set a boundary around a site and their phone shows they're outside it, the sign on is refused.
Can I put my own site rules, documents and videos into the induction?
The induction arrives already written, and you can add to it: your site information as text, PDF or Word documents, a YouTube or Vimeo link, and your own questions. Switch on "Workers must confirm this" for any text, document or video, and the induction won't submit until it's marked read, reviewed or watched. When you publish a change, workers who've done it are asked to acknowledge the new version the next time they sign on. Each induction lasts twelve months unless you change that in your settings.
If someone's badly hurt on site, what does Anchorlog do?
It gives you one place to record it. You record the incident, who was affected, when you notified SafeWork and when the site was preserved, and attach photos and PDFs. Then you can download the incident as one PDF to forward. Anchorlog doesn't notify SafeWork for you; that call is still yours.
Does it work with no signal?
No signal at the gate? If a worker's phone has opened the site's sign on page before, the page still opens and saves their sign on or sign off to the phone. It sends when they're back in signal with the page open; once Anchorlog accepts it, it's recorded at the time they saved it.
