Avetta enabled a global biopharmaceutical company to streamline contractor compliance, reduce administrative burden and strengthen safety programs, delivering cost savings and consistent adherence to strict OSHA and internal standards.
Challenges in compliance management
With a workforce of 28,000, this global biopharmaceutical company faced the challenge of managing hundreds of contractors while upholding strict OSHA-driven safety standards. Manual reviews and overflowing file cabinets made it impossible to conduct two-year EHS reviews consistently. Without an automated system, the company risked non-compliance with its Global Technical Standards and rising administrative costs.
The Avetta solution
The company evaluated multiple providers and selected Avetta for its user-friendly platform, clear flagging system and comprehensive risk management. Avetta consolidated contractor pre-qualification, insurance monitoring and safety reviews into one centralised platform. Buyers now verify contractor compliance quickly within Avetta, while suppliers are required to enrol and maintain current EHS documentation.
Benefits of partnership with Avetta
Reduced administrative burden
Contractor management is now streamlined through a single system, with weeks of manual follow-up replaced by instant access to compliance status.
Improved supplier accountability
Contractors are more proactive at strengthening safety programs and training after joining the Avetta network.
Operational and cost savings
By eliminating the need to hire a full-time compliance manager, the company saves US$60,000 annually per facility while dramatically reducing supply chain risks.
