QEHSContractor management without the PDF
Insurance certs, site inductions, JSA sign-offs, permit eligibility — four separate PDF trails most programs maintain by hand. Here is the pattern that merges them into one record per contractor company.

Large sites routinely host 30–300 contractor companies, each with its own insurance certificates, trained operators, and current permits. The failure mode is predictable: an expired certificate lets a crew onto a high-risk task, and the incident investigation finds the evidence buried in an email thread.
The fix is a Contractor Company record with three linked capabilities: insurance tracking (expiry-aware), training matrix (by person × skill), and active permits. Each capability is a standard Composer block — no new module needed. The workflow gate at permit issuance checks all three before it lets the permit be issued.
