ISNetworld is a completed scam. We were informed by one of our clients 6 years ago that they had signed up with ISNetworld and that we had to join the program to continue doing business with them.

From that point on, it has been nothing short of a nightmare. In short, their company is a total scam. They charge the client and they charge the contractors to participate and do absolutely nothing for what you are paying them for. They have no interest in matching qualified contractors with interested clients.

They do nothing to ensure any measure of safety protocol is being followed. And they really do not understand anything about business. Just recently we uploaded our new insurance documents for our renewed policy to ISNetworld so that we could remain in compliance with the program. Typically, our policy is bound the day that our old one expires and we submit our insurance documents that same day.

Without question, even though we have been insured with the same company for 14 years and uploaded everything to their system the day it renewed, they dropped our grades with all of our clients from an A to an F and notified them all today, even though the documents were already uploaded into their system for review and nothing has changed. I get to spend my day calming clients down about a nothing issue, wasting my time and hurting my relationships with my customers. Every year I have had the same conversation with ISNetworld and they just do it every year. Besides that recurring issue, they basically do nothing to perpetuate good safety practices for their clients.

They are a shell that makes lofty claims and delivers nothing for the money they are paid. Clients - You are better off just working with quality contractors that have all the safety and insurance qualifications already than paying for their service. Contractors - You would be better off working for clients that don't require you to use ISNetworld as the cost of joining and maintaining the account with ISNetworld is going to cost you more than you will make with the business.

Besides, every client that we do business with that requires ISNetworld approved vendors can't find any contractors anyways so they just get variances through their company to utilize vendors who are not approved through ISNetworld. The company and its programs are a complete and total scam.

Reason of review: Poor customer service.

Thanks for the information very appreciated

Guest

I tested the SOB"S!!! I have not submitted one document to them in three years.

That tells you that they could care less about compliance, lol. In fact, I put them in my SPAM file so I never get an email, haha! AND...we have the company that we do business with reimburse us the $ 3,000 that ISNetworld bills us annually.

That's right...they pay us back! THIS IS SUCH A FRIGGIN SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guest

I also have to use this worthless entity to continue working for one of our biggest customers. We have 1 customer that uses this scam company and we have 6 employees and we have to pay $1044.10 PER YEAR to have these people tell us we have to have a safety manual for our employees and cover things like bloodbourne pathogen safety-we are a forklift repair company not a hospital!

But still the requirements persist!

RIPOFF! Does nothing for the client except offset some of their costs of doing business onto their vendors.

I agree these people are parasites.

If you enjoy: Paying a 4 figure fee to enroll Completing a questionnaire with 700 plus questions Answering 20 + questions for each OSHA document log submitted so that you can be tested to see if your answers match the log Answering 1 question, submit, go back to page, click next question, wait for page to load, submit answer, go back to select next question. Reaching out by phone or chat for clarification on question, and receive standardized answer that, "you have to complete questionnaire." For a service that just handles information you already provided to your customer then maybe you will like this site.

Companies that award their client a job, THEN tell them they are required to register with this Spawn of Satan ISN site, in order to perform the work, are stupid, unethical, disgusting, fools. Smelling manure straight outta a cows behind would be better the registration process & fees than this company requires.

Guest

Agreed - Total waste of time

After 40 years of providing services in the oil and gas industry, ISNetworld has been the biggest pain in the *** I have ever experienced. Not only do you have to pay fees, you have to engage a consultant to navigate the BS and maintain your records.

I can't believe clients would buy into this BS, but if you don't belong, you don't work. SCAM!

SCAM! SCAM1

I literally just had this conversation with ISN today. They are no different than a Mafia protection scam.

You have to pay them, in order to get paid from another company. They have done nothing, "NOTHING" for my company, other than hold their hand out, and threaten you with the loss of business if you dont pay.

Guest

Not only are they a piss-poor scam, they are proud to tell you how they do it. The simply run your HSE plan, insurance and whatever else through Adobe and if your plan/COIs have words/numbers that match the particular OSHA or contract insurance language, your plan passes.

So buy a canned OSHA plan online and send it to them to get "pre-qualified". Just two words for ISNET - they suck.

Guest

They are basically a scam that gets money from both sides without supplying any service. I suspect they "network" (read bribe) decision makers in big companies so they can get money from all their suppliers.

I still have to meet one supplier that actually believes they have an added value. the burden for small companies is terribly high.

Guest

ISN sucks. I wish I had thought of this scam first.

Guest

I Agree that they are a waste if time and do not even provide value add to their clients, You must write your documents to meet their key words. No such thing as professional judgement

Guest

ISN is absolute garbage. They have somehow found this niche to be able to force small business to pay absurd fees in order to transmit their HSE reports and insurance docs to their customers.

They provide literally zero value to the end users. They try to tell you that they market your company to other customers, but I have found that to be simply BS. During COVID and the economy being cut in half, ISN refused to budge one cent on their pricing, and instead offered an additional 7 days before charging a $1,000 reinstatement fee.

This company is as hilarious as they are criminal. May they return to the *** from which they came.

Guest

This is my companies and my personal experience as well. It makes zero sense as my company is a multi-billion dollar entity and we have internal safety programs and team to manage that we are up to standards worldwide. ISN is really only for US and Canada and gives us zero value for what we pay as any value it could provide we already do internally, however it generates additional work and cost for us to re-submit forms and pay a very high subscription cost

Guest

Could not agree more. A pointless box ticking scheme by those with no understanding of our submitted documentation.

Guest

You get graded from A - F if you do not do what they tell you to do and when they tell you to do it by a particular date you will be punished with their grade system. Once you get it done they will take their time removing the F.

This is the most childest software company that I have ever dealt with. This company does absolutely nothing for the contractors. Basically we are held hostage. I can not believe they are still able to get away with what they do.

Why don’t ISN networlds clients allow me to grade them. It’s always a one way street..

Guest

Good article and hits the nail on the head.

Guest

My experience as well!

Guest

Yep at 1500 a year for 3 Clients this is hard to keep in place .
