Your safety program has a blind spot — and it's shaped exactly like an uncertified contractor.
When a contractor working on your site turns out to be unlicensed, uninsured, or improperly certified, the liability doesn't stay with them — it lands on your facility. CredentialClear closes that gap before they step on site.

- !
If a contractor on your site is unlicensed or uninsured and someone gets hurt, workers' comp costs, injury claims, and OSHA exposure can shift onto your facility instead of the contractor's business.
- !
Most commercial GL and site insurance policies exclude coverage for work performed by improperly licensed contractors — a gap that surfaces exactly when you need coverage most.
- !
Running multiple sites, especially across states, means different licensing rules in every jurisdiction — and no single view of who's currently compliant across all of them.
- !
Long projects make this worse: a contractor licensed on day one of a project can lapse by week six, with no one noticing until an incident forces the question.

FAQ
Can this catch a license that lapses mid-project?
Yes — hourly re-verification monitors tracked contractors continuously, not just at the point you first checked, so a mid-project lapse doesn't go unnoticed.
We manage sites in several states. Does this cover all of them?
CredentialClear searches across state boards, city registries, and enforcement records in one query, so you're not managing separate processes per state.
Does this replace our safety/compliance checklist, or work alongside it?
It's built to plug into your existing process — a fast, centralized way to confirm licensing and enforcement history before a contractor is approved for site access.
How fast is a search?
Real-time — results pull live status rather than relying on a cached list.
Don't find out a contractor wasn't certified after they're already on site.
