Manage your credentials

Learn how to manage your credentials via the web app and the mobile app.

What are credentials in SafetyCulture?

The Credentials feature in SafetyCulture simplifies and streamlines the management of your workforce's qualifications. Whether it's certifications or external qualifications, like driver's licenses and first aid courses, our platform offers a single, organized repository for them all.

You can manage your own credentials or those of your workforce by categorizing them into different credential types. You can also add new versions of credentials that are about to expire, review their history, and track each version's activity, which logs the changes made on the issue date, expiration date, and media attachments.

Pairing with Training in SafetyCulture, Credentials ensures your teams have complete compliance. For example, a forklift operator can take a site induction course and have a forklift license as a credential for seamless on-site operations.
