Owens Corning, a global leader in building materials, is raising the bar on contractor safety compliance. By collaborating with ISN and integrating the ISNetworld platform in 2019, the company has taken a proactive step toward improving job site safety. Since then, its contractor management system has become more streamlined and data-driven. A major change is the mandatory use of ISNetworld’s Online Training Tool. Every contractor worker must complete safety modules before stepping on-site. This effort significantly improves hazard awareness and has helped reduce injuries.
Moreover, Owens Corning’s 2024 Sustainability Report shows impressive results. Over 5,900 training sessions were completed by contractors using ISNetworld. This high level of participation reflects a company-wide focus on zero-harm goals. Contractors working in medium to high-risk roles must meet strict safety and compliance requirements. These include submitting valid certificates of insurance, outlining environmental and health procedures, and confirming alignment with Owens Corning’s Supplier Code of Conduct.
Why Digital Tools are Reshaping Contractor Safety Compliance
This approach goes beyond checking boxes. Contractors must earn an acceptable ISNetworld score before being assigned any work. According to Geoff Walter, Owens Corning’s Enterprise Safety Director, the platform also manages worker qualifications efficiently. As a result, the process is not only more consistent but also easier to monitor across multiple locations. This level of oversight leads to safer worksites and faster compliance verification.
Additionally, this long-standing partnership between Owens Corning and ISN is a testament to what happens when innovation meets responsibility. Brittany Surine, EVP at ISN, praised Owens Corning for its dedication to worker protection. She noted how both organizations share the goal of holding contractors to strong safety and sustainability standards.
Their joint efforts make it clear: real-time data, verified training, and transparent compliance are no longer optional—they’re essential. When companies invest in modern contractor safety compliance solutions, they protect workers and enhance operational efficiency. Owens Corning sets an example for other firms looking to align business performance with safety priorities.
