Your ISN Grade Is Scored Partly on Safety Meetings. Protect It With Records That Can't Be Questioned.

ISNetworld connects contractors to hundreds of hiring clients in oil and gas, petrochemical, utilities, and industrial work — and its RAVS review scores written safety programs, training records, and evidence of regular safety meetings. Without the grade, an entire tier of work becomes invisible: you don't lose bids, you never hear about them.

What ISN actually evaluates

Contractors complete questionnaires that can exceed 2,200 questions, upload OSHA-compliant written safety programs for RAVS review, and submit OSHA 300 logs, EMR, insurance certificates, and employee training records. Evidence of regular, documented safety meetings is part of the safety program evaluation — and everything must be kept current to hold the grade.

What drops a grade

Expired insurance documentation, outdated OSHA records, a recent citation or incident — and gaps in the documentation that's supposed to show your program is active. A meeting program that exists in practice but not on paper scores like a program that doesn't exist.

Meeting records that survive review

Arkvos gives every safety meeting a verified attendance record — worker selfie, GPS, SHA-256-sealed timestamp — plus the topic and date, exportable as a clean package for RAVS submission or a hiring-client audit. It's the difference between attaching sign-in sheets and attaching evidence.

Frequently asked questions

Does ISNetworld require safety meetings?

ISN evaluates your safety program, and regular documented safety meetings are among the criteria hiring clients expect to see evidenced. The practical standard isn't whether meetings occur — it's whether your documentation proves an active program: dates, topics, and verifiable attendance.

What documentation does ISNetworld require?

Written OSHA-compliant safety programs uploaded for RAVS review, OSHA 300 logs, EMR data, certificates of insurance, employee training records and certifications, and answers to client-specific questionnaires. All of it must be maintained continuously — certification is ongoing, not one-time.

What makes an ISN grade drop?

Commonly: expired insurance documents, outdated OSHA records, or a recent citation or incident. Because many hiring clients set minimum grade thresholds for bid eligibility, a drop can silently remove you from bid lists until it's corrected and resubmitted.

Is Avetta the same as ISNetworld?

They're separate prequalification platforms with different pricing, questionnaire formats, and industry concentrations — ISN is heaviest in oil and gas and petrochemical. Some hiring clients require one, some require both. Both score safety program documentation, including meeting and training records, so the same verified records serve both.

Already holding an OSHA citation?

Arkvos offers a free OSHA citation response generator. Upload the citation and get a formal response letter, a corrective action plan with dates, and a checklist of evidence to attach. Employers have 15 working days from receipt of a citation to contest it. Open the free citation responder.
