Flexsys believes the benefits far outweigh the costs to signing up with ISNetworld®
Flexsys was founded by Professor Sridhar Kota in 2000 to engineer and flight test his patented shape-changing aircraft wings in collaboration with the Air Force Research Laboratory and NASA. Today Flexsys provides technological solutions for numerous industries. FlexSys is an established world leader in shape-adaptive structures. According to their website, FlexSys’ core expertise lies in its unique approach to design of mechanical systems using Compliant Design principles for a wide variety of applications including shape morphing and advanced actuators.
ISNetworld®, synonymous with contractor management, was formed in 2001 and has grown to be one of the two largest vetting platforms across all industries.
The requirements for Flexsys contractors will be similar to other hiring clients, or hiring companies, in ISN®. Safety programs RAVS®, complete questionnaires, submit insurance, EMR, OSHA Logs, training evidence, and other contractor/client specific documents.
Contractor submits all required documents, ISN® reviews in comparison to Flexsys requirements, and issues a ‘grade’, or scorecard status of Approved or Not Approved. Once the initial review is complete and the contractor status is updated, contractors will be required to perform ongoing status reviews to ensure continued compliance. Monthly, quarterly and annual safety and health data must be submitted along with applicable training, incident information, and mitigation plans.
Any substantial risk assessment and prevention audit is time consuming, even for large companies with a dedicated safety department. Safety program verbiage can be mind-numbing, other requirements can be hard to understand and implement. Oftentimes the insurance requirements do not align with the executed contract or MSA resulting in an initial status of fail, or not approved. The process can be a challenge, by nature.
