Using a TASC QR code safely
Understand the workflow, identity expectations and information handling before you submit.
Outcome
A participant can decide whether the displayed QR workflow is legitimate and complete it without guessing about identity or information use.
Find it in TASC
Before you begin
- A QR code posted for the current site and task
- A supported phone camera or QR scanner
- The site contact shown with the QR when help is needed
Interface landmarks
Production V1 path and labels.
Decisions that matter
Correct context
Match the site, asset and task on screen to the physical location before entering information.
Identity
Read whether the workflow is public, signed-in, anonymous, confidential or identified.
Minimum information
Submit only information relevant to the displayed task.
Progress is saved on this device only.
Step 1
Confirm the location and workflow
Read the printed label and the opening screen to confirm the QR code belongs to the expected site and task.
Step 2
Check the identity requirement
Some QR workflows allow public participation; others require sign-in or offer different behavior for connected workers.
Step 3
Read the data notice
Confirm what is collected, whether the submission is anonymous or identified and who may review it.
Step 4
Complete only the intended task
Follow the displayed fields and do not submit unrelated personal or confidential information.
Step 5
Stop if the code is inactive or incorrect
Do not use another site’s QR code as a workaround. Contact the posted site or TASC administrator.
Prove it worked
- The opening screen matches the posted purpose
- The information notice is understandable
- A confirmation or safe next step appears after submission
Common problems and safe recovery
The code is inactive or belongs to another site.
Stop and contact the posted site owner. Do not search for another QR as a workaround.
The workflow unexpectedly requests sign-in.
Confirm the participant type and use the supported connected-worker route only when appropriate.
What happens next
Keep the confirmation if the site asks for it, then follow any displayed safety or escalation instruction.
