Digital badge in the works:
What should be done while waiting for the implementing decree?
Decree-Law No. 159 of 2025, converted into Law No. 198 of 2025, introduced the concept of the digital construction site badge as an evolution of the identification card already required under construction site safety regulations.
To date, the legislation has established the general framework, but the operational procedures for the digital badge will be established by specific implementing decrees issued by the Ministry of Labor.
These measures will define in detail the technical characteristics of the system and how it will be used.
Pending these guidelines, companies are still required to ensure the identification of workers and the proper management of attendance at construction sites—areas that are increasingly supported by digital workforce management tools.
In this context, digital tools such as Geobadge already make it possible to reliably manage timesheets and site attendance, helping companies track activities and always know which workers are present at the worksite.
The platform is designed to adapt to regulatory changes and will be ready to incorporate any technical specifications defined by implementing decrees as soon as they become available.
What does Article 3 of Decree Law 159/2025 require?
Digitize worker identification on-site and ensure compliance with Article 3 of Decree Law 159/2025, with every worker tracked and linked to the platform.
Secure, counterfeit-proof digital badge to ensure immediate compliance.

The system is ready for integration with the SIISL platform and the future INL National Database
Reliable identification of workers
The regulations require that every worker on the construction site beclearly and unambiguously identified, with reference to the company they belong to. Every recorded presence on the construction site must always beprecisely traceable to the worker and the company for which they work.
In Geobadge, each employee is linked to acomprehensive digital profile that contains all the necessary information:
- personal information
- employing company
- ID photo
Tracking of access to the construction site
The new construction site management model requires the ability totrack workers' actual attendance.
Time logs can also be recordedoffline and will sync automatically when the device comes back online.
The result isreliable attendance tracking, even on construction sites with limited connectivity.
With Geobadge, employees canclock in and out directly from their smartphones, automatically recording:
- clock-in time
- consistency of the position with the location specified at the time of clocking in
- related project or contract
Management of Required Documents
Safety regulations require thatworkers' documents and certifications be available at all times on the construction site.

The purpose of the digital badge
The Workplace Safety Decree (Decree Law 159/2025) introduced an important new feature for the construction industry: the digital construction site badge, an electronic system for identifying workers on public and private construction sites.
The aim of the regulation is to increase transparency, traceability, and safety, while combating illegal employment and improving attendance monitoring at construction sites where multiple contractors or subcontractors are operating.
The new badge represents the digital evolution of the ID card, transforming it into a tool integrated with national information systems and with on-site personnel management.
The digital construction site badge was introduced byDecree-Law 159/2025 (Law 198/2025), but its full implementation depends onthe implementing decreesissued by the Ministry of Labor.
Until these measures are published, companies must nevertheless ensurethat workers can be identified and their attendance tracked—something that can already be managed using digital tools.
The official procedures for issuing the digital badge will be set forth in the implementing regulations.
In general, the badge will be linked to a digital system that connects the employee to:
- personal information
- employing company
- Information on training and qualifications
Today, it is possible to implement digital solutions that already allowthis information tobe managed in a structured and centralized manner.
The digital badge allows workers to be identified and their attendance at the construction site to be recorded using electronic tools (e.g., QR codes, apps, or contactless devices).
The system allows you to:
- check who is on site
- to involve the employee in the company
- track entries and exits
- facilitate any inspections
It is, therefore, a digital evolution of the traditional ID card.
The legislation has already introduced the concept of a digital construction site badge, butthe full scope of the requirement will be defined by the implementing regulations.
However, it is already mandatory to identify workers on construction sites, clearly indicate the company they work for, and ensure that their attendance records are traceable.
For this reason, many companies are already adopting digital tools to stay ahead of the curve.
The official procedures for issuance will be established by implementing regulations.
The badge is expected to be linked to digital systems integrated with institutional platforms, but the operational details have not yet been finalized.
In the meantime, companies can implement systems that allow them tomanage employee identification and attendance internally in a structured and verifiable manner.
Digital badge verification will be conducted using electronic tools that will allow for immediate verification of:
- employee identification
- employing company
- regular attendance at the construction site
The specific procedures for compliance checks will be set forth in implementing regulations, but the goal is to simplify the verification process for businesses and regulatory agencies.
Yes. The digital badge must comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Specifically:
- The data must be processed solely for purposes related to safety and work organization
- The collection of information must be limited and proportionate
- Any geolocation systems must be used transparently and in accordance with company policies
Geobadge already allows you to digitally manage many of the requirements set forth by the regulations:
- identification of workers
- track attendance at the construction site
- partnerships with businesses, teams, and organizations
- document management and certifications
This allows companies to maintainreliable timesheets and have a clear overview of who is on-site, simplifying monitoring and operational organization.
The platform is designed to evolve alongside regulatory changes and isready to incorporate the technical specifications that will be defined by the implementing decrees, enabling a smooth transition to the official digital badge.
