DALLAS, Feb. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ISN, the global leader in contractor and supplier information management services, continues to highlight how industry leaders are turning insights into action in the recently released edition of The Orange Book, The Journey in Best-in-Class Contractor Management. In Section Three, Implementing Processes for Measurable Impact, ISN details leading indicators, field verification, and digital oversight organizations use to help improve contractor management processes and jobsite safety.
“Best-in-class companies are achieving measurable results by pairing actionable data-driven insights with execution at the front lines,” said Dag Yemenu, Chief Technology Officer at ISN. “These organizations are using proactive indicators and proven processes to help prevent incidents, strengthen performance, and build lasting operational resilience.”
ISN’s latest publication features world-class companies who integrate leading indicators, workforce management, and accountability across every layer of their operations:
- Yara International implemented RAVS 360™ to assess the implementation of its contractors’ HSE policies in the field and help improve workforce training, knowledge, competency, and understanding of company safety culture.
- CPKC promoted continual improvement and empowered its workforce to identify possible workplace hazards and implement corrective actions through the in-depth review of contractor safety programs, training records, and hazard controls. Results show CPKC contractors who completed a RAVS 360 assessment have an 18% lower Total Recordable Frequency than CPKC contractors who have not.
- U.S. Sugar digitized its contractor onboarding and site-entry process through ISNetworld®, enabling real-time qualification verification, automated badging, and a 99% contractor compliance rate during maintenance shutdowns, with more than 21,000 badge scans and 194,800 contractor work hours tracked in 2025.
Each case demonstrates how integrating data with workforce engagement drives measurable improvement across safety, compliance, and productivity. The Orange Book also emphasizes how leading organizations are moving beyond lagging metrics to focus on proactive indicators such as hazard identification, near misses, and safety culture maturity – key drivers of serious injury and fatality (SIF) reduction.
“By embedding accountability into daily operations and empowering workers with data and technology, ISN’s customers are showing how measurable impact benefits Hiring Clients and contractors,” said Kim Holly, Chief Business Development Officer at ISN. “These companies are helping prove when leadership engagement, contractor management processes, and field performance align, continuous improvement follows.”
