SiteGuard FAQ
6 straight answers from the SiteGuard team
1 What is SiteGuard and how does it differ from other EHS platforms?
SiteGuard is a field-first EHS platform built for construction, oil & gas, and field operations in the GCC. Unlike generic EHS suites, SiteGuard offers GPS-stamped site visits, dynamic checklists, violation lifecycle management, fleet & equipment compliance, and Arabic RTL field apps built for MENA workers — all with ISO 45001 and Saudi Civil Defense compliance built-in.
2 How does SiteGuard support ISO 45001:2018 certification?
SiteGuard provides a complete ISO 45001:2018 implementation framework including hazard identification, risk assessment, legal compliance registers, incident investigation workflows, corrective action tracking, management review dashboards, and audit preparation checklists — all with evidence trails auditors accept.
3 Does SiteGuard meet Saudi Civil Defense requirements?
Yes. SiteGuard includes Saudi Civil Defense compliance modules for fire safety inspections, emergency evacuation plans, hazardous material storage tracking, and fire protection system maintenance scheduling — all with Arabic documentation and Civil Defense portal-ready reports.
4 What are dynamic checklists and how do they work offline?
SiteGuard's dynamic checklists are configurable forms with conditional logic, photo/video evidence capture, GPS-stamped timestamps, and mandatory field enforcement. They work fully offline — field workers complete inspections on mobile devices, and data syncs automatically when connectivity returns. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit.
5 How does the violation lifecycle management work?
SiteGuard tracks violations from identification to closure: automatic assignment to responsible parties, escalation timelines, corrective action plans with evidence uploads, re-inspection scheduling, and closure verification with photographic proof. Escalation rules auto-notify supervisors when deadlines are missed.
6 What is the typical ISO 45001 implementation roadmap with SiteGuard?
A typical implementation takes 8-12 weeks: Week 1-2: Gap analysis & policy setup; Week 3-4: Hazard identification & risk assessment; Week 5-6: Procedure documentation & training; Week 7-8: Pilot on 1-2 sites; Week 9-10: Full rollout & internal audit; Week 11-12: Management review & certification audit preparation. SiteGuard provides templates and checklists for each phase.
