Common Questions About Access/Egress Restrictions:
What are Access/Egress Restrictions in KUDO?
Access/Egress Restrictions is a feature within the KUDO platform that allows managers to set site-specific rules that workers must acknowledge before booking on or off site. Restrictions — such as a shooting party on access tracks, livestock on site, or a temporary hazard — are surfaced directly in the mobile app and must be confirmed before access is granted.
How does KUDO ensure workers are aware of site restrictions before arriving on a renewable energy site?
When an access or egress restriction is active, it appears automatically in the KUDO mobile app when a worker attempts to book on or off site. Workers must read and acknowledge the restriction before they can proceed, creating a confirmed, timestamped record that the information was communicated and understood.
How is managing site access restrictions different from sending an email or making a phone call?
Emails and calls rely on workers actively reading or answering — with no guarantee of receipt and no audit trail. KUDO's restrictions are embedded in the booking-on process itself, meaning access cannot proceed without acknowledgement. This removes reliance on individual workers remembering to check communications and ensures consistent, verifiable safety processes.
Can site managers create and update access restrictions in real time?
Yes. Restrictions can be created, updated, or removed from the KUDO web portal at any time, and take effect immediately for all app users attempting to book on or off the relevant site. This is particularly important in dynamic operational environments where conditions can change rapidly.
Does KUDO maintain a record of who has acknowledged access restrictions?
Yes. Every acknowledgement of an access or egress restriction is recorded in KUDO, along with the name of the worker and the timestamp. This provides a clear audit trail and ensures accountability across all site access events.
