Background Checks for Steel Fabrication and Field Crews: Packages by Position
Steel fabricators and erectors hire shop, field and office staff with different needs. How SafestHires builds custom packages by position type.
Short answer
What background check should a steel fabrication company use?
Most steel fabrication and erection companies use more than one package because shop, field and office roles differ. SafestHires serves steel fabrication clients with custom packages that vary by position type — for example, adding a driving record for field crews who drive company vehicles. There are no setup fees and no term contract.
A steel fabrication company may hire welders and fitters for the shop, ironworkers and drivers for field erection, and office staff for estimating and project management. One background check rarely fits all of them.
SafestHires serves steel fabrication clients with custom packages that **vary by position type**.
Example packages by position
These are illustrative examples, not a specific client's packages:
- **Shop roles (welders, fitters, painters):** criminal court and database searches.
- **Field crews and drivers:** the shop searches plus a driving record, and drug testing where the employer requires it.
- **Office and project roles:** criminal searches plus employment or education verification where needed.
Drivers of commercial motor vehicles may also be subject to federal DOT rules; see the DOT driver tool and talk with counsel about your obligations.
