Over the last six years, ISN, a leader in contractor and supplier information management services, has strengthened its collaboration with Owens Corning, a leader in residential and commercial building products.
In a news release, ISN said that since implementing ISNetworld in 2019, Owens Corning has continued to enhance its contractor management process by requiring individual contractor workers to complete training through the ISNetworld Online Training tool.
This helps increase hazard awareness and reduce serious injuries and fatalities on-site.
“To further enhance and streamline the process of verifying contractor compliance with Owens Corning standards, we also use ISNetworld to facilitate the establishment and management of individual contractor worker qualification requirements,” said Geoff Walter, OC’s enterprise safety director.
“The continued expansion of ISNetworld tools and services speaks to the impact ISN has in helping Owens Corning understand and reduce risk across its operations,” he added.
Headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, Owens Corning has over 25,000 employees in 31 countries. According to the 2024 Owens Corning Sustainability Report, more than 5,900 trainings were completed by contractor workers through the ISNetworld Online Training tool.
Owens Corning contractors in North America performing medium and high-risk work must submit verification documentation, including certificates of insurance and environmental, health, safety and sustainability program acknowledgments, along with the Supplier Code of Conduct. They must also achieve an acceptable grade in ISNetworld before being awarded work.
“Owens Corning has a long history of commitment to manufacturing safely and to protecting its employees and contractors,” said Brittany Surine, executive vice president at ISN.
