Novelis Uhrichsville partnered with Avetta to standardize contractor compliance, train 562 workers, and track 55,000+ hours, achieving 73% compliance and improving onsite safety and efficiency.
Before implementing Avetta, the Novelis Uhrichsville site relied on a highly manual, in-house compliance process. Project managers were responsible for managing contractor orientation and safety education for their own projects — often resulting in inconsistent training and limited visibility into who had received or understood critical safety information. Contractors would frequently arrive onsite without proper awareness of Novelis’ safety protocols, leading to confusion and delays.
With a culture rooted in safety, the lack of standardization and visibility across contractor compliance presented a significant challenge for both safety and efficiency.
In 2022, Novelis’ Uhrichsville site adopted Avetta, initially focusing on company-level compliance before expanding into worker management. This phased rollout included:
Thanks to proactive engagement from project managers and safety personnel, adoption of the new process exceeded expectations. Contractors responded positively to the streamlined training requirements and improved transparency.
Novelis Uhrichsville now ensures that all contractors are trained and OSHA-10 certified before arriving onsite. Over 562 workers have completed the required orientation and certifications through Avetta’s Worker Management system, significantly reducing knowledge gaps and strengthening site-wide safety expectations.
As of mid-2025, 73% of contractor companies are compliant, and over 55,000 contractor hours have been logged through the check-in/check-out feature. The C-CURE 9000 badging system integration allows security and safety teams to instantly confirm whether a contractor is authorized and compliant via a simple badge scan – eliminating the need to track down paperwork or contact project managers. This real-time visibility has reduced manual tracking, minimized the need for corrective interventions, and empowered project teams to focus on job-specific safety needs.
With contractor compliance managed upfront, project managers no longer spend the first day of a project reviewing basic safety. Instead, they can focus on the unique hazards of each job and lead their teams more efficiently. Time previously spent correcting or coaching uninformed workers is now redirected to high-value tasks. The success of the initial rollout has encouraged Novelis Uhrichsville to pursue a third phase of their Avetta integration. The team is working toward leveraging Avetta’s certification tracking – ensuring, for example, that only certified crane operators perform crane work.
The partnership between Novelis Uhrichsville and Avetta has helped transform a manual, inconsistent contractor management process into a streamlined, standardized, and safety-first program. With over 500 contractors and 55,000 contractor hours logged, Avetta’s robust compliance system has helped Novelis Uhrichsville maintain their high safety standards while regaining valuable time. By improving their visibility into their supply chain, the Uhrichsville site can continue to lead by example in operational excellence and contractor safety management.
