Get on their vendor list. Stay on it.
Most operators will not let you on location until ISNetworld, Avetta or Veriforce says you pass, and one lapsed date can drop you off the list in the middle of a bid. We set the account up, write the programs, fix the grade and keep every date current, by the hour. We have run these accounts ourselves.
Roughneck Compliance Consulting is in no way endorsed, sponsored, approved by, or otherwise affiliated with ISNetworld®. The same is true of Avetta and Veriforce.
No grade, no gate pass. No gate pass, no work.
The network is where operators decide who gets called. Your salesman can win the room and still lose the job to a red mark he never saw.
A dropped grade stops the work
One certificate lapses or an OSHA log stops matching the questionnaire, and the grade drops. The operator’s system sees it before your salesman does, and the next bid goes to someone who passed.
Template programs fail review
Reviewers read written programs line by line against the work you do. A manual copied from another company’s work gets sent back, and the clock keeps running while it is rewritten.
Every operator adds its own rules
Insurance limits, training, the grade floor: each operator sets its own on top of the network’s. Passing for one does not mean you are on the next one’s list.
The whole account, done by people who have done it.
Set-up
Open the account on the right network for the operators you sell to, answer the questionnaire from your own records, and load the insurance, EMR and OSHA history so the first review passes.
Safety programs
Write or rework the written programs the review asks for, procedure by procedure, in your company’s name. We write the ones you run, never a template.
The grade
When a grade drops, find out why the same day and fix the record that caused it: certificates, training cards, questionnaire answers that stopped matching the documents.
Keep it up
Renewals, the annual OSHA 300A, the EMR letter, insurance certificates matched to each operator’s own limits. Nothing lapses because nobody was watching the date.
New operators
An operator you have never worked for asks for a connection on their network. We take the request through to approved and tell you what they asked for that the last one did not.
The ones you do not need
Shops pay for networks their customers do not use. We look at who you sell to and tell you which subscriptions to keep and which to drop.
We do the paperwork. Roughneck makes it sell.
The consulting stands on its own. Run Roughneck too, and the work does not stop at the network. It shows up on the card, in the read, on the alarm and in the first line of the call.
The vendor list, on the operator’s card
Where we have it, every operator’s card shows what it takes to get on their list: the network and the grade floor. Your salesman knows the gate before he drives out.
Qualified, the tenth check
The read on every account counts it. Cleared on their network is a For. Not on it is an Against, with what they require and what you hold, so nobody prices a job you cannot work.
The paperwork clock
The networks, grades and expiry dates we keep current go into Roughneck. Owners and sales leaders get the alarm three weeks before a date runs out, then the Monday of that week.
The opener says you are cleared
When your shop is approved on the operator’s network, the first line of the call says so. The call starts with the answer to the first thing the company man checks.
You do not have to be a Roughneck customer to use the consulting.
An estimate in writing before the clock starts.
What we do not do
We do not promise a grade. The network gives the grade and it can change the rules. We do not write a safety program for work you do not do, and we do not answer a questionnaire with something that is not true about your shop. A program that already meets the requirement never gets rejected over how it was worded or where it was filed. That is the work.
