Every contractor briefed before they arrive. Automatically.
Under the Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008 you’re legally required to provide every contractor, cleaner and short-term worker with relevant safety documents before they begin work, and Ordit delivers them to every prescribed person and logs every delivery without the manager being present.
WHY AUTOMATE PRESCRIBED PERSON COMPLIANCE
A contractor at 6am. No manager on site. No documents. Full liability.
The obligation doesn’t wait for office hours.
Contractors regularly start work before managers arrive (a plumber at 6am, a cleaner overnight, maintenance on a public holiday) and the legal requirement to brief them exists from the moment they enter, not from 9am.
Manual handovers fail consistently.
Most buildings have no reliable system for briefing every contractor every time, so managers forget, rely on email threads that may never be read, or assume the contractor already knows.
An unbriefed contractor is your liability.
If an incident occurs while a contractor is working in a building they were never properly briefed on, the liability sits with the building manager and owner, and so does the responsibility to prove the obligation was met.
BENEFITS
What automated delivery gives you that a manual handover can’t.
Documents delivered before they arrive.
When a contractor is registered as a prescribed person, Ordit delivers the required safety documents (evacuation diagrams, SDS sheets, asbestos register, emergency contacts) digitally before their visit, regardless of what time the work starts.
The current version. Always.
Documents are drawn from the building’s centralised digital wallet, so contractors receive the latest version automatically without anyone needing to remember to resend it when something changes.
A delivery log that proves the obligation was met.
Every delivery is timestamped and logged, so when a council officer or insurer asks for proof that prescribed persons are being briefed, verbal assurance becomes verifiable evidence.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about prescribed person compliance.
Under Queensland’s Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008, a prescribed person is anyone who works in, enters or resides in a building (contractors, cleaners, maintenance, service personnel and short-term workers), and equivalent duty-of-care obligations apply in other Australian states.
Current evacuation diagrams, safety data sheets for hazardous materials on site, the asbestos register where applicable, building-specific safety instructions and emergency contact details, with the obligation being to actively provide them before work begins rather than just to have them filed.
Every delivery is logged with a timestamp, the documents sent, the contractor who received them and the building they relate to, and the log is stored in the building’s compliance record for any council inspection, insurance investigation or dispute.
Every contractor informed. Every delivery documented. Every obligation met.
The prescribed person obligation exists regardless of what time the contractor arrives or whether the manager is on site. Ordit meets it automatically and proves it was met with a complete, timestamped delivery log.
