Crew check-in playbooks by industry
A good check-in captures the smallest useful signal for the work at hand. These templates define the roles, first-assignment field, check-in moments, privacy boundary, and point at which a lightweight board should give way to specialist software.

Two evidence-based boundaries
- The U.S. Department of Labor says employers may choose their timekeeping method, but covered employers remain responsible for complete and accurate records. A CheckInForWork export is a supporting operational record, not an automatic compliance determination. Read DOL Fact Sheet #21.
- Some jobs have specific worker-accountability rules. For example, OSHA’s shipyard standard requires employers to account for employees working alone at intervals appropriate to the assignment and at the end of the job or shift. Do not generalize that one rule to every industry; use it as a reminder that safety cadence must follow the actual hazard and applicable standard. Read OSHA 29 CFR 1915.84.
