Trustworthy staff across
every facility.

Manufacturing facilities present significant safety and security risks, with heavy machinery, hazardous materials, high-value inventory, and complex supply chains all creating vulnerabilities. Theft, sabotage, fraud, and workplace safety incidents are all more likely when staff or contractors have undisclosed criminal histories or misrepresented experience. Screening reduces these risks before they become incidents.

Any role with access to production areas, sensitive equipment, controlled substances, or high-value inventory benefits from screening. This includes machine operators, maintenance engineers, supervisors, warehouse staff, and logistics personnel. Contractor and agency workers who access the site, even temporarily, should be screened to the same standard as permanent staff.

Scaut operates in 150+ countries with localised criminal record access, identity verification, and employment history checks. Whether your facilities are in one country or across a dozen, all screening runs through a single platform with a unified dashboard. Site managers can initiate and monitor screenings for their locations without needing a centralised HR team to manage each request.

Yes. Scaut is designed for speed. You can initiate screening for temporary hires via bulk upload or API, and most identity and criminal checks return within hours. For planned production ramp-ups or seasonal hiring, pre-screening pipelines can be set up in advance so workers are cleared before their start dates.

The EU’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) will require the largest manufacturers to identify and address human rights and environmental risks in their chain of activities. Following the 2026 revision, transposition is due by July 2028 and the obligations apply from July 2029, to companies above 5,000 employees and €1.5 billion turnover. Smaller manufacturers will feel it sooner through contractual requirements passed down by in-scope customers. Screening key supplier contacts, subcontractors, and logistics partners is one component of demonstrating due diligence under this framework.

Fully. Each subject provides explicit, informed consent before data collection begins. All personal data is stored within the EU, processed only for screening purposes, and deleted according to configurable retention schedules. Scaut acts as your data processor, providing complete audit trails for every screening to support your compliance documentation.
