Achieving compliance is essential — but it doesn't always reveal how prepared contractors are to manage real-world safety risks. Organizations need a clearer picture of safety maturity to make smart, more strategic decisions. Developed in collaboration with the National Safety Council and other key partners, Avetta's Safety Maturity Index (SMI) is a data-driven framework for companies to assess, verify, and improve contractor safety maturity across the supply chain. In this white paper, we break down how the SMI helps organizations move from foundational compliance to a more proactive and resilient safety culture.
