Encino Energy optimises digital solutions for contractor management

‘The Avetta platform is very customisable and has made communication extremely easy and centralised to ensure that approvals and information are passed to the field operations and to the people that matter most.’

– Scott Fairhurst, Environmental Health and Safety Manager, Encino Energy

Encino Energy partnered with Avetta to centralise contractor compliance, enable real-time job readiness tracking, and enhance safety across complex field operations.

With a keen focus on meeting all local, regional and national environmental, health and safety requirements, Encino Energy needed digital solutions to help manage their worksites. The team relied on the Avetta One platform to achieve continued success at keeping their workforce and job sites capable and safe.

Business challenges


With an ever-changing and challenging fieldwork environment, Encino Energy is responsible for maintaining a safe workplace staffed by capable contractors and subcontractors. Encino Energy’s continuous exploration and production operations, along with ever-changing contractor and subcontractor workforces, create a complex onsite workplace. Keeping job sites safe requires all workers to be skilled in implementing and executing hazard mitigation plans.

On-site real-time management The advent of mobile-based digital environmental, health and safety platforms, such as Avetta One, provides contractors, subcontractor suppliers and the Encino Energy EHS Director with synergistic access to their compliance status. The real-time tracking and updates accessible by all suppliers and Encino Energy allows management in the field to be aware of their suppliers’ job readiness and allows for the timely completion of all necessary EHS demands to manage their workforce readiness.
Breadth of coverage

Due to the continuous need for health and safety compliance for the ever-changing supplier workforce, manual solutions are too slow and laborious. With a digital platform like Avetta One, Encino Energy’s field and office staff, as well as their suppliers, could be assured of worker-level compliance along with their historical performance. On a real-time basis, efficient field access to supplier compliance information was now a practical matter that could be accessed by all parties, at any time, from anywhere. In addition, timely updates for points of contact in the field along with their profiles were now available.

Updates and tracking

Encino Energy had a need to implement a customisable digital application that could be integrated into their field operations to provide ongoing updates on audits and surveys. This process has ensured that suppliers are better prepared for their job requirements. Centralised platforms like Avetta One that were intuitively easy to use for all and that offered a reasonable cost to suppliers were key to a successful implementation. Not only were timely updates and tracking of compliance requirements necessary, but so was increased communication between suppliers and field managers – an essential step to ensure that all suppliers were ready and able to perform the work required.

The Avetta solution


Along with the customisable solution, Encino Energy was pleasantly surprised by the robust support that came as part of the Avetta offering. For Encino Energy and their suppliers, continuous support for all health and safety compliance concerns and ongoing updates were a hallmark of the Avetta commitment to customer service and support. The discounted personal protective equipment (PPE) for their various contractors and subcontractors was a welcome benefit, as were Avetta’s consulting services. Whether it was certificate of insurance compliance or the follow-up for supplier job readiness, the Avetta One solution alleviated the need for contractors and subcontractors to carry multiple safety-related cards, while increasing their compliance visibility to Encino Energy’s field leadership.

Going forward


With the advent of contractors employing more subcontractors, the need for widespread adoption and use of Avetta’s mobile platform is continuing to be a priority. With a workforce that is increasingly transient at the contractor (and especially subcontractor) levels, the need for ubiquitous use of timely health and safety information for all workers has never been more important and necessary. The implementation of Worker Management – along with job-applicable pre-qualification as a high-level worker requirement – is ongoing, as is the integration of the Avetta One platform and HSE requirements into the daily field operations of Encino Energy.
