ComplyWorks, ISNetworld and getting through the gate

A growing share of industrial and oilfield work in Alberta requires prequalification through a third-party platform before a contractor can set foot on site.

What these platforms check

• Safety programme documentation and statistics.
• Insurance certificates and coverage limits.
• WCB standing.
• Training records for the people actually attending.
• Written procedures relevant to the scope.

Why it matters at quote stage

Registration and verification take time. Discovering the requirement on the morning of the job means the job does not happen. It is a scheduling problem disguised as an administrative one.

What to tell us

Which platform, which client account we need to be associated with, and what the site-specific requirements are beyond the platform itself — orientation, escorts, hot work permits, or anything else.

For work around Medicine Hat this is the gate in front of nearly everything industrial — the producers and the primes operating out of Brier Park Industrial, Redcliff and Dunmore screen through these platforms before a contractor sets foot on site.
