Frequently asked questions
How the credit licence works
Who needs the credit licence?
Companies and self-employed workers physically operating on temporary or mobile construction sites. Suppliers, purely intellectual services and firms holding a SOA certificate of class three or above are excluded.
How many credits are lost per undeclared worker?
For breaches committed from 1 January 2026 the deduction is fixed: 5 credits per undeclared worker, plus one more each where an aggravating factor applies, such as minors, workers without a permit or benefit claimants. Three undeclared workers therefore cost 15 credits and push many firms below the threshold in one go.
Does everything stop below 15 credits?
No new site work can be taken on. Work already under way can be finished if more than 30% of the contract value has been completed; below that share the site must be left.
How are lost credits rebuilt?
Through health and safety training, up to 15 credits, and through time: after two years with no new measures the balance rises again. Recovery is not immediate, so a heavy deduction keeps a company idle for months.
Does my data stay private?
Yes, and not because we promise it: this tool runs entirely inside your browser. What you type or upload never leaves your device, so it never reaches a server of ours and there is nothing we could keep, read or lose. You can check it yourself: open the page, disconnect from the internet, and the tool keeps working.
Do you store what I enter?
No. There is no database behind this tool: we do not store your files, your text or your results. When you close the tab nothing is left — not here with us, because it never arrived, and not anywhere else.
Do you profile me? Are you GDPR compliant?
We do not profile you: there is no account to create, we never ask for your email to use a tool, and we keep no profile of what you do. We are an Italian company and we work under the GDPR and the other European rules, with the privacy notice and the consent request in plain sight. One thing we say in full rather than hiding it behind a slogan: the ads on the page are Google's, and Google may use cookies to personalise them. You decide from the consent banner: if you say no the ads stay, but they are not personalised, and the tool works exactly the same.
If it is free, how do you make money?
From the ads on the page, and that is all. We do not sell your data, there is no hidden paid plan, there is no limit that eventually asks for your card, and you do not have to sign up. The ads pay for the servers and for the time we spend writing the tools: that is how we can keep them open to everyone.
