Fast Verify Unveils Solutions for Oil, Natural Gas, and High-Risk Industries, including Advanced Worker Identity, Verification, and Workflow Applications

July 3, 2025 – Sunny Isles, FL – AI-driven identity verification and workflow management innovator, Fast Verify, unveils its specialized solutions, tailored for sensitive or remote environments. They focus on the energy, oil, mining, and natural gas industries, as well as other sectors with stringent safety and compliance requirements. These cutting-edge tools are built to enhance worker verification, access control, and compliance for companies like Shell, BP, ExxonMobil, and the many businesses involved with putting workers in the field, ensuring safety, efficiency, and regulatory adherence in high-stakes settings.

Addressing Critical Needs in High-Risk Industries

The oil and natural gas sectors, alongside mining and refinery operations, face rigorous safety and compliance standards enforced by regulatory bodies like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). Non-compliance can result in severe penalties, operational delays, or safety incidents, with the oil and gas industry reporting over 1,000 workplace injuries annually (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). Fast Verify’s solutions, including the groundbreaking Worker ID app, address these challenges by providing robust identity verification, access management, and workflow systems tailored to the unique demands of these high-risk environments.

Key Features for Sensitive and Remote Operations

Fast Verify’s suite of tools leverages advanced biometric technologies, real-time data processing, offline capabilities, and the new Worker ID app to deliver secure, efficient, and compliant solutions for oil, natural gas, mining, and refinery operations. Key features include:

• Real-Time Identity Verification with Active Liveness Detection: Using facial recognition and Fast Verify’s proprietary Motion ID real-time video verification, workers’ identities are confirmed with active liveness detection, ensuring the person presenting credentials is physically present. This is critical for preventing unauthorized access to high-risk areas like oil rigs, mining sites, or refineries.
• Driver’s License and Credential Validation: Advanced document scanning and information verification checks worker licenses, certifications, and permits, ensuring compliance with federal and state regulations, such as those required by the Department of Transportation (DOT) for drivers operating heavy machinery or transporting hazardous materials. Valuable integrations, such as verifying information on Drivers Licenses against state DMV databases reduces risk while saving time.
• Offline Functionality for Remote Sites: Recognizing connectivity challenges in remote oil fields, offshore platforms, or mining sites, Fast Verify’s solutions, including Worker ID, operate seamlessly without internet access. Data is securely stored locally and synced when connectivity is available, ensuring uninterrupted verification and compliance in isolated locations.
• Access Control and Audit Trails: Fast Verify’s identity management system restricts access to sensitive areas, such as refinery control rooms or mining equipment zones, to authorized personnel only. Every access event is logged with detailed audit trails and analytical data, providing provable documentation for compliance audits, incident investigations, or insurance claims.
• Worker Screening and Monitoring: Integration with background screening providers and Consumer Reporting Agencies (CRAs) enables continuous monitoring of worker records, including certifications, safety training, and drug test results. This ensures ongoing compliance and flags changes in status, such as license suspensions or failed screenings, critical for maintaining safety.
• Worker ID: A custom-branded, cryptographically verified identity and information solution for workers and management, enabling secure verification of identity, work approvals, work history, suspension/return-to-work status, screening results, and custom details like certifications or training records. Accessible anywhere, even offline, Worker ID empowers workers to present verified credentials instantly and allows managers to monitor compliance and status in real time, streamlining operations across remote sites.
• Check-In and Queue Management: Intuitive mobile and web-based check-in applications streamline worker onboarding and site entry, reducing administrative burdens and wait times. Real-time dashboards track worker presence, location, and task assignments, enhancing accountability across sprawling oilfields or remote mining sites.
• Incident Documentation and Compliance Reporting: In the event of an incident, Fast Verify’s solutions, including Worker ID, provide verifiable records of worker presence, access history, and screening results. This is vital for post-incident investigations, ensuring companies can demonstrate compliance with OSHA’s recordkeeping standards, for example.
• Customizable Workflows and Analytics: Tailored workflows adapt to the needs of each site, from small drilling operations to large-scale refineries. Advanced analytics provide insights into worker trends, compliance metrics, and operational efficiency, empowering data-driven decisions to optimize safety and productivity.

Meeting Industry Challenges with Worker ID

The oil, natural gas, and all mining / extraction industries face unique challenges, including verifying worker identities across remote locations, maintaining compliance with stringent regulations, and ensuring safety in environments with heavy machinery and hazardous materials. Worker ID technology revolutionizes these processes by providing a secure, portable, and cryptographically verified identity solution. Workers can present their credentials instantly, while managers access real-time data on work approvals, suspensions, or screening results, reducing errors that affect background checks, compliance, and site controls.

In remote environments, such as offshore platforms or mining sites in rural areas, unreliable internet connectivity can hinder verification. The Worker ID app’s offline capabilities ensure seamless operation, with encrypted data stored locally and synced later, maintaining compliance and security. For example, a worker on a remote oil rig can use Worker ID to verify their identity and certifications, while managers can confirm compliance without relying on cloud connectivity.

Enhancing Safety and Compliance

Fast Verify’s tools, particularly Worker ID, reduce risks and enhance safety. By confirming worker identities and credentials in real time, companies prevent unauthorized access to sensitive areas, reducing the likelihood of accidents or security breaches. These features strengthen defenses against fraud, ensuring only verified workers operate heavy machinery or access hazardous zones. This is critical in the oil and gas industry, where the potential severity of incidents highlights the need for rigorous safety protocols.

The Worker ID app further enhances compliance by providing a verifiable digital record of worker credentials and access events, accessible anytime for audits or investigations. This ensures companies like Chevron or Shell can quickly produce documentation to meet regulatory requirements, mitigating legal and financial risks.

Industry Collaboration and Innovation

To drive safety and efficiency, Fast Verify has launched a Service Provider Program, inviting technology partners, HR platforms, and safety management systems to collaborate on tailored solutions for the oil, natural gas, and mining industries. By integrating Worker ID and other tools with platforms used by companies like BHP or ConocoPhillips, Fast Verify ensures seamless adoption and maximizes value.

“We're excited to introduce Worker ID and our comprehensive verification solutions to empower oil, natural gas, and other high-risk industries,” said Fast Verify’s Media team. “These tools, designed for the toughest environments, ensure worker safety, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency, even in remote locations with limited connectivity.”
