Approving a worker is the sign-off that authorises them for your site. You review the application and the documents submitted up to your step, then approve to clear it for the next step or for full approval.

This guide covers:

• Reviewing the application and confirming the details and documents up to your step
• Approving the step to advance the application in order
• Clearing the mandatory-document gate at the final step
• Authorising the worker and actioning the access card and safety platform on full approval

Approve against the evidence and the worker is authorised with your name on the decision.

💡 Power User Insight: Approval and authorisation can differ. Where the workflow assigns e-learning, the worker is authorised and your systems actioned only after the courses are done, not at the final approval step — the employer admin is notified when that step completes.
