Understanding the Value-Added Benefits of Digital, Verifiable, OHS Credentials in the Workplace

Tickner and Associates Inc. and Credivera are pleased to announce a new software partnership designed to advance the use of verifiable credentials for the secure validation of health & safety training qualifications across all industries. The partnership provides clients and employers with faster, smarter, and more scalable credential solutions that improve trust, legal compliance, and operational efficiencies for health and safety.

Through this agreement, Tickner is expanding its technology capabilities to better support organizations in strengthening corporate security, meeting legal and due diligence requirements, streamlining operations, improving employer visibility, and driving stronger occupational health and safety (OHS) outcomes. By combining Tickner’s thirty-seven years of OHS service excellence with Credivera’s advanced credentialing technology, this new partnership creates added value for organizations seeking to secure their workplaces and ensure the integrity of all OHS training credentials.

Fraudulent credentials expose companies and owners to significant legal risk. Verifiable credentials deliver trusted proof of workforce qualifications and protect organizations from credential fraud. The Credivera solution offers direct access to all verifiable credentials and documents. It provides a privacy-preserving credential system, helping organizations and contractors manage a network of fully trained and authorized workers.
