FAQ
Does this checklist replace a formal WHS process?
No. It is an operational checklist that should be adapted to your company process, project risk profile and local requirements.
Can this template be used without a OneAdmin account?
Yes. The PDF and Excel versions are designed to be useful immediately, even if your team is still using paper or spreadsheets.
Does OneAdmin replace payroll or accounting software?
No. OneAdmin keeps site attendance and job records organised so payroll, invoicing and bookkeeping workflows have clearer supporting information.
Using spreadsheets?
Here is what happens when projects scale.
Paper and Excel can start simple. The admin cost appears when more workers, sites, subcontractors and payroll questions need the same records.
| Area | Paper | Excel | OneAdmin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capture | Paper sign-in sheet at site office | Shared spreadsheet or emailed file | Digital check-in and check-out tied to the site |
| Accuracy | Handwriting, missing times and late corrections | Manual typing and version control problems | Structured records with visible exceptions |
| Compliance admin | Scanned forms and folders | Files spread across drives and inboxes | Site, worker and report context kept together |
| Reporting | Manual weekly summary | Spreadsheet cleanup before payroll | Exportable records for admin review |
Move contractor onboarding into OneAdmin
OneAdmin can connect contractor records, site access status and attendance so onboarding does not live in disconnected paper folders.
