Built for the people who actually do the work.

The problem

I’ve spent years in the trades.

I know what it’s like to be asked for a ticket and have to dig through old photos, emails, PDFs, screenshots, and random folders just to prove you’re ready for work. I’ve seen guys scrambling before a job, a shutdown, or a site orientation trying to find their H2S, First Aid, CSTS, CSO, WHMIS, Fall Protection, or Confined Space ticket.

I’ve also seen good workers lose time, miss opportunities, or get held up because a ticket expired and nobody caught it early enough.

And on the company side, I’ve seen how much time gets wasted chasing paperwork, checking dates, re-entering the same information, and trying to keep everything clean for onboarding and compliance.

The problem is simple:

Safety tickets are essential, but the way we manage them is still messy.

Most systems are built for companies first. Workers are treated like records inside someone else’s portal. Their tickets get uploaded, stored, checked, and forgotten — but the worker doesn’t really own the system. Then the job ends, access disappears, and the worker is back to digging through their phone the next time someone asks.

TradePass was built from the worker’s side of the problem. It gives tradespeople one place to store, track, and share their safety tickets — while giving companies a cleaner way to verify worker readiness without chasing documents over and over again.

The principle

Workers should own their credentials.

A safety ticket belongs to the person who earned it. Companies need visibility, but workers need control. TradePass is built around that balance: free worker-owned profiles, simple ticket tracking, expiry reminders, and shareable access when a company needs to verify readiness.

The goal is not to create another corporate compliance portal. The goal is to make safety tickets easier to manage for the people doing the work — and easier to verify for the companies responsible for the site.

What TradePass is

• A worker-owned digital wallet for safety certifications.
• A way to send one link instead of ten emails to HR.
• An expiry-tracker that gives you a heads-up before tickets lapse.
• A dashboard that lets companies see who's site-ready in seconds.
• Built for every trade, every level, every country with a job site.

What TradePass is not

• A surveillance tool for companies to monitor workers.
• A platform that sells worker data — to anyone, ever.
• A replacement for a real safety program.
• A subscription for tradespeople. Workers always use TradePass free.

Your network goes with you

Here’s a truth nobody puts in a compliance portal: in the trades, your next job usually comes from someone you already worked with. A foreman who remembers you, an HR coordinator who liked your paperwork, a welder who’ll vouch for you on the next turnaround.

But that whole rolodex lives in your last employer’s system — and the day the job ends, it’s gone. So we built Network: your own industry rolodex. Save the people you meet on the job — their name, number, who they work for, and the site where you met — and keep it on your phone, job to job. Pull contacts in from your phone or a vCard file when you want to; nothing syncs behind your back, and you choose exactly who to add.

You can also connect directly with the workers you trust — swap cards, tag where you met, and watch your professional network grow with every site you work. It’s the part of LinkedIn the trades never got, built for the people who actually pick up the tools.

Your network is private. Only you ever see it. We never share it and we never sell it — same promise as everything else here.

Where TradePass stands today

TradePass is live. The foundation is shipped and in daily use: your tickets, your profile, your share link, your expiry tracking. What ships next is decided by what real users tell us — not by what makes a roadmap look impressive in a pitch deck.
