Your live workforce readiness map
Certchain brings together regulatory requirements, workforce competence data, and supply-chain evidence into a single, continuously updated view of readiness.
Instead of static reports or point-in-time checks, organisations gain ongoing visibility into whether the right people — across employees and suppliers — are competent to perform the work they are assigned. As standards change, roles evolve, or people move between projects, readiness is recalculated automatically, giving leaders early warning of risk and clear evidence of compliance.
Competence is more than training – it’s a system.
Most organisations manage training. Regulators require competence. Certchain bridges that gap by turning standards, roles, and evidence into a single, structured system that defines:
What competence means for a role
How it is achieved
How it is verified
How it is evidenced over time
Certchain replaces fragmented spreadsheets and policies, disconnected training records, and subjective sign-offs with a single, defensible competence framework. Built for regulated industries.
Why use a Competence Management ecosystem?
Competence management ensures the right people are doing the right work — and that this can be proven.
Organisations use Certchain because spreadsheets, training records, and manual checks are no longer sufficient to demonstrate compliance, manage risk, or withstand scrutiny. Certchain connects standards, roles, and evidence into a single system, providing continuous visibility and defensible assurance of competence to your clients and regulators.
How Certchain is helping customers
What it looks like when competence is managed as a system — not a spreadsheet
It’s transformed the way we manage workforce compliance. What took weeks of chasing is now automated, visible in real time, and far more proactive.

Built for businesses where competence is non-negotiable.
In safety-critical and regulated environments, competence is not a matter of internal policy or best practice – it is a legal, contractual, and reputational requirement.
Certchain provides competence infrastructure that allows organisations, clients, and industry bodies to define requirements once, apply them consistently, and evidence them continuously — across projects, suppliers, and roles.

Workforce compliance, competence, and readiness in minutes—not months.
HR leadership in construction is complex. Under the Building Safety Act 2022 and the 2023 Competence Regulations (Part 2A of the Building Regulations 2010), competence and certification are legal requirements for all workers and organisations on UK construction sites, yet failed compliance from unverified workers still costs the industry over £1bn each year due to labour scale, complex supply chains, and legacy practices.
