In short

How do I automatically track staff certification expiries at my scrap yard?

Every Monday WebRun reads your staff certification Sheet, finds credentials expiring within 60 days, confirms each employee is still active in ScrapRight, and posts a tiered expiry alert to Slack. Urgent items expiring within 14 days are listed first so your operations manager can arrange renewals before any credential lapses.

  • No staff member operates with a lapsed certification because expiries surface 60 days in advance
  • Urgent renewals (within 14 days) are flagged at the top of the weekly Slack alert
  • Ex-employees are excluded automatically by cross-checking the ScrapRight active roster

Good to know

Questions, answered

Does it book renewal training automatically?

No. WebRun flags the expiry and posts it to Slack for the operations manager to act on. Scheduling the renewal is a human decision.

What certification types can it track?

Any certification you log in the Google Sheet: forklift licences, hazmat handling, first aid, DOT compliance, or any custom credential your yard requires.

What happens if the Sheet has an employee who already left?

It cross-checks the active employee roster in ScrapRight and skips anyone who is no longer listed as active, so the alert only covers current staff.
