Contractor Safety
Getting Started: ISNetworld Requirement for Contractors Performing Work for BPA
 
Bonneville Power Administration has a responsibility to ensure safety in the workforce and conduct business in a manner that facilitates access and encourages competition for responsible, safe contractors while maintaining a fair and transparent process.
 
BPA aims to select contractors that demonstrate experience, responsibilities and offer products or services that meet BPA’s requirements. To assist in this process, BPA has enlisted the help of ISN to manage contractor safety information for its contractors. ISNetworld allows BPA to monitor Health, Safety and Environmental, insurance and other compliance information through a central repository.
 
Through ISNetworld, BPA is able to maintain:
  • Transparent processes while increasing due diligence;
  • Verified, timely information for decision making that can be shared among BPA business units;
  • Access to real-time contractor information;
  • Consistent processes that reduce duplicative efforts for contractors working across multiple projects/jobsites;
  • Effective communication vehicles that leverage technology and service.
ISNetworld aids BPA in ensuring proper due diligence and monitoring safety across our jobsites.
