Universal Pegasus International strengthened its safety culture, boosted contractor training participation and achieved near-zero incident rates by streamlining compliance and onboarding processes.
Universal Pegasus International (UPI)’s subcontractors were not meeting compliance standards consistently, and credentials were not fully verified, leaving the procurement team uncertain. Pre-qualification processes were paper-based, requiring basic safety questions and manual checks. Rising operational costs and the need to comply with diverse, stringent policies put further pressure on UPI, whose leadership realised that building an in-house solution would be unsustainable.
‘Our clients expect us to be of a certain calibre, and my question to our leadership team was why are we not making our subcontractors be of that same calibre.’
– Rick Rynicki, Vice President of Corporate Safety, UPI
Avetta streamlined UPI’s pre-qualification process, ensuring that contractors met safety requirements before being hired. Avetta conducted online training programs that increased contractor participation by 300%, strengthening awareness of risk management and safety at worksites. By centralising processes in a single platform, UPI simplified new contractor onboarding and created visibility for managers across the organisation. This overhaul integrated safety into day-to-day operations, cultivating a stronger safety culture.
The Avetta partnership reduced the administrative burden, lowered overhead costs and improved subcontractor accountability. UPI achieved 100% contractor participation in safety initiatives, strengthened vendor management and drastically reduced incident rates. With better training, onboarding and compliance, UPI improved profitability while advancing its leadership position in offshore engineering and project management.
‘Avetta is always willing to listen, willing to change and willing to take on more if it makes sense. Avetta is definitely a large part of our success. They have helped us with things that did not exist two years ago.’
– Rick Rynicki, Vice President of Corporate Safety, UPI
