LEHI, Utah and HOUSTON – February 5, 2026 – Avetta®, the leading provider of supply chain risk management (SCRM) software, today highlighted how Sky-Tech Construction, a 14-employee telecommunications infrastructure construction contractor, is proving that small business does not have to equal higher risk. By partnering with Avetta to strengthen its safety compliance performance, Sky-Tech consistently meets—and beats—the same safety standards of larger competitors, including achieving zero safety incidents over the past five years, an exceptional total recordable incident rate (TRIR). This impressive track record helps Sky-Tech demonstrate its work readiness to hiring clients across the Avetta community.
In construction, small businesses often face disproportionate safety risks. Industry data shows that contractors with fewer than 20 employees account for 67% of all construction-related fatalities, let alone broader TRIR, even though they represent just 37% of the total construction workforce. This creates concern for hiring clients who are increasingly focused on reducing risk across their supply chains.
“With Avetta’s help, we’re not only defying these odds but winning more work because of it—work that might otherwise go to larger firms,” said Mariska Barry, Chief Safety Officer at Sky-Tech. “While many small contractors struggle with safety outcomes, our team has built a culture that delivers consistent, high-quality performance. Avetta is helping us maintain that and reap even more benefits from it.”
Avetta provides Sky-Tech with a centralized, AI-driven platform that streamlines safety compliance operations by consolidating prequalification, insurance and certificate tracking, audit support and even training. The platform also exposes Sky-Tech to hundreds of hiring clients and puts their impressive safety history to work for them by placing it front and center.
“When small businesses demonstrate this level of safety excellence, they prove that size doesn't determine capability, commitment does,” added Eric Olsen, Senior Vice President of Supplier Engagement and Operations at Avetta. “Sky-Tech’s zero-incident record shows that with the right tools and dedication, smaller companies can compete on safety performance and win the confidence—confidence beyond mere compliance—of even the most demanding clients.”
