For increased safety…
Railroad personnel work in inherently dangerous conditions, and therefore safety has always been of paramount importance to the American railroad industry. The ability to track and monitor safety training has never been more important, and the InstantCard CVS service was developed to facilitate the easy management of employee safety training records and credentials.
in the field…
Railroad personnel are generally working out in the field, often in remote locations, away from traditional networks. Therefore, the ability to manage training credential through a mobile device is even more critical than in other industries. The CVS service responds to that need by being able to work on any smartphone or tablet. Use of cellular networks further extends the reach of the CVS service.
and on the move.
Railroad personnel often move from job to job, du to the need for constant maintenance. CVS gives any manager the ability to immediately check up-to-date training records for any employee or contractor. This allows him to assign workers to the jobs they are best qualified for. There is no longer any doubt about the ability of a maintenance engineer to perform a particular task safely and reliably.

Implementation & Operations
Well in advance of the start of the project, all workers are informed that they must carry a CVS qualification card when working on site. Each worker will:
Set up an account with InstantCard, registering their association with the turnaround project. Our web application makes this quick and simple.
In advance, order a card for each employee, uploading his name, ID number, and photo. All photo ID cards are printed with a unique QR code, and mailed to the subcontractor’s office within 24 hours.
For each employee, upload the images of the various training credentials required for the job. Also entered will be the credential name, course completion date, and expiration date. Once uploaded, all qualifications are immediately available for viewing online.
