Robinson Construction Company has recently earned status as a RAVS Plus Contractor by ISNetworld (ISN), the global leader in contractor and supplier management. RAVS (Review and Verification Services) Plus is an audit tool recently implemented by ISN that enables them to determine the validity of questions answered and documentation uploaded into a contractor’s account. To achieve this status, ISNetworld RAVS Plus conducted face-to-face interviews with Robinson field personnel to determine the company’s actual safety practices and ensure that employees have the competencies, training, and qualifications required to perform their specified job duties. According to Robinson Corporate Safety Director Eugene Besand, “ISN allows us to easily report and update our qualifications with our current ISN clients. It also affords us the opportunity to gain new clients.” Robinson is prequalified with more than 15 clients at nearly 50 different site locations through ISN. ISN currently supports over 550 Hiring Clients and 70,000 contractors and suppliers. Only 2% of those 70,000 contractors have achieved RAVS Plus Contractor status with ISN. “Anyone can click a button or submit a written document that satisfies safety requirements, but what does that prove? Achieving RAVS Plus status is proof that Robinson has a valid safety infrastructure.”

Superintendent Bruce Gibbar was recently recognized by a long-time Robinson customer as a “leader in safety.” A letter from the customer states:

“I am writing to thank you for your efforts in achieving three years without a contractor lost time accident on our [jobsite]. In May, thousands of contractor hours have been registered on our site without a lost time incident. The on-site team routinely demonstrates a clear understanding of, and commitment to safety. In many cases, that partnership has led to us improving safety performance together.

Our leadership team determined that a cornerstone of our successful partnership here has to do with the Leadership in Safety demonstrated by your on-site leader, Bruce Gibbar. His contributions to safety go beyond looking after his own crews, to our extended teams, as well as other contractors and visitors. He has been effective in meeting [our] reporting standards, root cause safety problem solving, and takes swift action where safety is concerned. It is truly a pleasure to work with a professional like Bruce.

Additionally, we congratulate and thank your entire organization for demonstrating the high level of commitment to keeping people safe, and to reaching this three year milestone on [our site]. We look forward to our continued, successful partnership in safety.”

Bruce was presented with the letter and a plaque by Robinson CEO Frank Robinson at the June Supervisor’s Meeting. Bruce was grateful that he was chosen to receive the award, but believes safety is a group effort. “This doesn’t just belong to me. We should really have 200 of these plaques because it’s a group effort and we all had a part in making this happen.”

Congratulations to Bruce and his entire team on this great accomplishment!
