Global leader in contractor and supplier
information management launches new Toolbox Talks feature,
exclusively available through Empower
ISN, the global leader in contractor and supplier information
management, is pleased to announce that its free mobile app
designed for workers, Empower, adds more value than ever with the
release of the new Toolbox Talks™ feature.
"The traditional jobsite ‘toolbox talk’ is as powerful today as
it has been for decades in helping to keep crews informed and
workers safe,” said Marie Anderson, Executive Vice President at
ISN. “But now with Toolbox Talks on the ISN Empower app, we are
enhancing just how impactful these conversations can be and helping
companies meet relevant regulatory requirements, increase
efficiency on their sites and ultimately ensure that workers return
home safely to their families."
Powered by AI, Empower can generate more than 200 available
toolbox talks, conversation points, overviews, safety tips,
quizzes, and information from regulatory websites such as OSHA.gov
instantly, allowing users to tailor comprehensive, professional
toolbox talks at a moment’s notice to meet the needs of their
specific jobsite and workforce. Toolbox Talks is loaded with dozens
of topics for users to search including Fall Protection, Safe Use
of Ladders, Overhead Power Line, Forklift Operation Safety Tips,
Lead Exposure Prevention and more. Safety managers can leverage
Toolbox Talks to review the risks on site that day, provide
important health and safety updates to the team and ensure that
workers feel physically and psychologically safe and prepared for
the day’s work.
"We created the Empower app with a mission to truly empower
contract workers by removing obstacles in accessing, understanding
and meeting safety and compliance requirements before they set foot
on a jobsite,” said Mike Reazin, Vice President at ISN. “We’re
hearing consistently from our Hiring Clients and contractor
customers how simple and convenient the app has made it to ensure
protocol is met, allowing them to focus on the job at hand."
One ISN contractor customer who has benefited from the Empower
app is Life Line Technologies, LLC. based in Louisiana. The company
uses Empower to quickly address any gaps in worker qualifications
and to provide employees with convenient access to trainings from
their phone.
“One of my employees called me at 3 a.m. because he scanned red
at the jobsite and was turned away at the gate. I told him about
the Empower app, and he was able to complete his trainings in time
for the crew change. No delays,” said Brian Regan, Operations, HSE
and Education Manager at Life Line Technologies.
ISN continues to release new features on Empower so customers in
various industries, including Steel, Mining, Pharmaceuticals, Paper
and Packaging, Food, Beverage and Automotive, have access and can
complete trainings and certifications on-the-go.
