Universal Pegasus International Increases Contractor Participation in Safety Training by 300%

“At the end of the day, we still set our own requirements and expectations among employees and subcontractors. Avetta supports us in achieving them.”

– Rick Rynicki, Vice President of Corporate Safety, Universal Pegasus International

Universal Pegasus International automated contractor training, increasing participation by 300% and achieving full compliance through a unified, real-time training system.

Business Challenge

To stay competitive in large capital projects, Universal Pegasus International (UPI) needed a healthy pool of qualified and trained subcontractors. However, repetitive manual training processes consumed productive time, while paperwork piled up and drove costs higher. Monitoring subcontractors onsite was difficult, leaving gaps in safety oversight. UPI realized its subcontractor training process required an overhaul and partnered with Avetta’s Worker Management solution.

The Avetta Experience


Before Avetta, subcontractor training was manual, paper-based, and inconsistent. With Worker Management, UPI automated training delivery, tracked worker progress in real time, and eliminated paperwork. Training modules were unified across all centers, ensuring consistent competency. UPI also customized modules with presentations and audio-visuals, complemented by competency tests that trainees had to pass for completion. The solution was deployed across both subcontractors and internal staff, closing knowledge gaps. An integrated training database enabled real-time tracking of training completion and simplified contractor screening.

Benefits Experienced

With Worker Management, UPI saved time and resources, eliminated paperwork, and simplified compliance reporting. Corporate staff training grew from 40 to 300, while subcontractor participation reached 100%. Worker Management also improved remote oversight with smart worker cards ensuring only qualified personnel accessed worksites. Together, these changes fostered a stronger safety culture across UPI’s operations.

“Avetta was a really big resource that we brought in that has really helped escalate our culture in a positive way.”
