Addressing ISNetworld Requirements

Addressing ISNetworld Requirements

 ISNetworld® (ISN) is not just any typical pre-qualification portal, it is the pre-qualification tool that is used by some of the world’s biggest companies.

Registering with ISN can open doors to new work opportunities, though it can be daunting if you’re not familiar with how it works, or you don’t have the time to provide your documentation and complete the RAVS questionnaires.

What is ISNetworld all about?

ISNetworld® (ISN®) serves as a database for online contractor safety management designed to streamline companies’ and contractors’ compliance pre-qualification processes. It works to help contractors, suppliers and hiring clients to ensure regulatory compliance.

Why would I sign up with ISNetworld?

It is common practice nowadays for most companies (such as ISN Hiring Clients) to conduct due diligence of their suppliers and contractors.

In past years these companies would send lengthy pre-qualification questionnaires to their supply chain partners to complete and return. These questionnaires often cover the same matters, and as a contractor you might often find yourself completing many of these with duplicated effort. Similarly, Hiring Clients had to review multiple supply chain vendor responses.

ISNetworld provides a single portal for Hiring Clients to manage supply chain due diligence. The savings and benefits are just as valuable for suppliers and contractors as they are for Hiring Clients.

What are the benefits of signing up with ISNetworld?

ISNetworld helps Hiring Clients connect with safe, reliable and sustainable contractors and suppliers around the globe. By providing your HSEQ processes and documents into ISN, you can benefit from:

  • Reducing administrative work by viewing and submitting all qualification information in one system.
  • Driving improvement by benchmarking your performance over time with ISN publications and reporting tools.

How do I address ISNetworld requirements as a Supplier or Contractor?

Contractors and suppliers submit insurance, regulatory, risk and health, safety, environmental and quality (HSEQ) information as requested by Hiring Clients into ISN.

Once collected, the ISN Review and Verification Services (RAVS) Team reviews the information to assess the accuracy, relevance and timeliness of the data. Using this information, Hiring Clients connect with contractors and suppliers in ISNetworld that meet their qualification requirements.

What does the term RAVS® mean?

RAVS® is an acronym for “Review and Verification Services” and is part of the ISN® review process.

ISNetworld® performs a review of your safety manuals and plans, safety protocols, and safety programs, which you’ll upload into the ISN RAVS portal.

How often do I need to provide my processes, documents and performance data into ISNetworld?

Different kinds of information and documentation will be uploaded in accordance with Hiring Client requirements, and ISN standards for keeping up-to-date records of your management system processes. In general, this can include:

  • Monthly provision of your health, safety and environmental performance data.
  • Annual provision of insurance certificates and other regulatory records.
  • Three-yearly updates of your management system processes into the RAVS portal.

What are the costs to sign up with ISNetworld?

Contractors and suppliers pay an annual subscription fee per country based on the number of employees in the company. Employee count is based on the three-year average. Cost models have been established each for suppliers and contractor (read here), and for Hiring Clients (read here).
