Global building products company leverages ISNetworld® tools to increase worker-level competency

DALLAS: ISN, the global leader in contractor and supplier information management services, has strengthened its collaboration over the last six years with Owens Corning, a global residential and commercial building products leader. Since implementing ISNetworld in 2019, Owens Corning continues to enhance its contractor management process by requiring individual contractor workers to complete training through the ISNetworld Online Training tool, helping increase hazard awareness and reduce Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIF) onsite.

“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, Owens Corning 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.”

Headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, Owens Corning has more than 25,000 employees in 31 countries dedicated to generating value for its customers and shareholders and making a difference in the community. 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 performing medium and high-risk work in North America must submit documentation for verification, such as certificates of insurance and environmental, health, safety and sustainability programs, and acknowledge Owens Corning’s Supplier Code of Conduct. Owens Corning contractors must also achieve an acceptable grade in ISNetworld prior to being awarded work.

“Owens Corning has a long history of commitment to manufacturing safely and to protecting its employees and contractors. ISN is proud to continue to partner with Owens Corning to help build a culture in which worker health is prioritized and contractors are held to rigorous safety and sustainability standards,” said Brittany Surine, Executive Vice President at ISN.
