Contractor training has emerged as a key issue for owner companies in industries as diverse as oil and gas exploration, engineering and construction and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

The growing reliance of many companies on contracted workers can pose both compliance and operational vulnerabilities if contracted employees are unable to perform their job functions in compliance with regulatory requirements and standards established by the owner company for its own employees. The extension of compliance training to contractors can minimize that vulnerability, reduce the risk of injury or accident and ensure that all members of the workforce possess the same knowledge to meet compliance and performance goals.

UL and ISNetworld work together to provide an integrated learning and contractor management information system, which helps business owners, government contractors and suppliers satisfy regulatory and operator-specific recordkeeping requirements.

ISNetworld communicates health and safety standards and provides a method for subscribers to house documents, measure, compare and benchmark health and safety statistics, and provides a method of evaluation and communication between companies and their contractors. UL provides the learning management technology and compliance training content.
