Generate OSHA-compliant certificates in 2 minutes with built-in verification. Inspectors get instant proof of every worker's training with QR codes and audit trails. No more Word templates. No more missing documentation.
Most safety managers are generating certificates in Word, rebuilding the same template over and over, manually reformatting PDFs, and chasing down who got trained when.
None of that is safety work. It's administrative overhead that compounds every time you add a new employee or run a new training cycle.
SmartCerts.ai cuts the administrative load so you can focus on the work that actually reduces risk.
Track training across your entire workforce. Know who's certified, what they trained on, and when certifications expire—instantly. No more hunting through email or spreadsheets.
Audit-ready documentation. When OSHA inspectors arrive, you have proof of every worker's training in seconds. QR codes, verification trails, everything they need to see.
Generate certificates while you're still in the training room. No back-of-desk paperwork. No chasing people down for signatures. Instant, verified, done.
Compliant with 29 CFR 1926.502 (Fall Protection), 1926.503 (Competent Climber), and other major OSHA standards. All required certification details included automatically.
QR codes provide instant verification. Inspectors scan, see full training record. No hunting through paper. No gaps in documentation. Verification methods acceptable to OSHA inspectors.
All certificate data encrypted and retained according to OSHA record retention requirements (5+ years). Audit trails show every action, every change.
"Before this, I was spending hours every week managing certificates. Getting them signed, filed, updated when people moved roles. Now I generate them right there. Our inspection last month? We had every certificate in our hand in 90 seconds. Inspector said it was the cleanest record they'd ever seen."
— Maria Santos, Safety Manager, 120-person manufacturing facility
OSHA doesn't specify a required certificate format—it requires that training is documented with the right details: employee name, training type, date, trainer, and employer. Our templates include every required field plus a QR verification code, which tends to impress inspectors rather than raise questions.
You fill in a guided form: employee name, training type, date, trainer details. That's it. SmartCerts handles the design, formatting, QR code generation, and PDF creation. It hits your inbox before you've moved on to the next thing. No drag-and-drop, no export settings, no reformatting.
Ten types at launch: General Workplace Safety, Construction Safety (29 CFR 1926), HazCom, PPE, Emergency Action Plan, Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), Fall Protection, Bloodborne Pathogens, Confined Space Entry, and Forklift Safety. Beta users can request additional types that go directly to the roadmap.
Nothing during the beta period. When we launch publicly, beta users get founding member pricing—locked in at a rate below public launch pricing. We'll give you clear advance notice before any billing starts.
No. SmartCerts.ai is an independent software tool. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially recognized by OSHA. Our templates are designed to document required training information in a compliant format. The employer remains responsible for ensuring all OSHA training requirements are met.
Yes. Our certificates document the same information OSHA inspectors require: employee name, training type, date, trainer credentials, and certification status. The QR verification code allows instant validation. What matters to inspectors is that the required information is present and verifiable—not how the certificate was generated. That said, you remain responsible for ensuring your training content meets OSHA standards.
We retain all certificate data for a minimum of 5 years, matching OSHA record retention requirements. Data is encrypted and stored securely. You can download your full record history at any time. We never delete data without your explicit request, and we provide 30 days' notice before account closure.
At launch, you customize within our templates: add your facility logo, update trainer name/credentials, select certificate type, and set custom expiration dates. Full white-label and custom template options are on the roadmap for public launch. Beta users requesting custom templates get priority development.
