Who each one is for.
Who Rapid Global was built for
The organisation people come onto site for — your own staff and your visitors as much as your contracting companies. It runs across construction, healthcare, transport, manufacturing and mining, here and overseas.
Where the two genuinely overlap
Both hold contracting company credentials and decide who is approved for site. Rapid spreads wide — permits, incidents, audits, visitors. GO! Site Approved goes deep on competency and the plant it is exercised on.

The honest split
Choose GO! Site Approved if
- You run plant on site and need it held to the same standard as your people.
- You are under Australian resources legislation, not the general WHS Act.
- The contracting companies that take up GO! Site Ready turn up with their end already in order — less paperwork for you to chase, and fewer gaps found at the gate.
- You would rather your compliance data stayed with an Australian company.
- You would rather deal with Carl, who owns and built it, than an account manager.
Choose Rapid Global if
- You have no plant or equipment to keep compliant.
- Permits, incident reports and audits matter to you more than proving competency does.
The verdict
For an Australian mining operation, GO! Site Approved is the better fit — built for the Act you are actually under, with the plant held beside the people.
Rapid Global is a capable, broad Australian suite, and if your compliance problem spans permits, incidents, audits and visitors across several industries it covers more ground than we do. On a mine or quarry, breadth is not the constraint — evidence is. Since 1 June 2026 an operator has to show that the people and the plant behind each critical control were verified, and that is the specific job this product was built for.
This comparison describes what each product is built for, drawn from how Rapid Global describes itself publicly. We do not run their software and make no claims about what it cannot do. If you work at Rapid Global and think this is unfair, tell us and we will fix it.
