STARCON’s Use of ISNetworld

Since 2002, STARCON has utilized ISNetworld to report their health and safety information.
STARCON currently has six Owner Clients that are requiring their written health and safety programs to be submitted.  The ISNetworld RAVS Team reviewed their documents to ensure their safety programs are meeting OSHA and Owner Client standards. After the review, the reviewers provided useful feedback on ways STARCON can improve their safety programs. STARCON has now achieved a 100% compliance grade for all 30 written safety programs. In addition to submitting their written safety programs, they also submitted training rosters through the ISNetworld T-RAVS process to verify the training their employees have completed. "My whole experience with ISNetworld has been very positive. The level of support that I have received has been supreme. On several occasions the support team at ISNetworld has gone above and beyond the normal to meet our needs here at STARCON. This is the best prequalification software and support team that I have had the experience of working with," Chuck Hester, STARCON HSE Manager.

ISNetworld serves as a one-stop health and safety database for STARCON to report all of their health, safety, and procurement information. ISNetworld will continue to facilitate STARCON’s long standing commitment to safety by ensuring STARCON and their Owner Clients that their written safety programs are up to date with the latest health and safety protocols.
