ISN and Safety Function Mark One-Year Partnership Milestone, Expanding Energy-Based Safety Training to Texas Contractors

ISN, a global leader in contractor and supplier information management, is celebrating the one-year anniversary of its partnership with Safety Function, which has expanded access to critical energy-based safety training through ISNetworld’s Learning Management System (LMS). The collaboration, announced on June 4, 2026, provides ISN contractor customers with 10 Safety Function courses at no additional fee, focusing on Energy-Based Safety fundamentals to help organizations improve safety, compliance, and risk management across jobsites.

The partnership aims to reduce workplace serious incidents and fatalities by equipping contractors with practical tools grounded in sound science. “Preventing serious injuries and fatalities will require a global community aligned around sound science and practical tools,” said Matt Hallowell, CEO at Safety Function. “This partnership expands access to energy-based safety knowledge by making high-quality training available to contractors of all sizes.” Over the past year, ISN contractors have proactively assigned more than 17,500 courses to employees through ISN’s LMS and Empower® app, indicating strong adoption and a growing focus on proactive hazard recognition. The courses, included in ISN’s member-exclusive safety toolkit, provide streamlined, on-demand access to high-impact resources, helping contractors better identify and control high-risk hazards.

ISN’s expanded energy-based safety fundamentals are also reflected in its latest Serious Injury and Fatality (SIF) White Paper, which correlates root causes of SIF outcomes with primary energy sources and high-energy hazards. Available courses include Energy-Based Hazard Recognition tools such as the Energy Wheel, which helps contractors identify and understand high-risk energy sources; High-Energy Hazards and Direct Controls focusing on practical mitigation strategies; and High-Energy Control Assessments (HECA®) providing structured frameworks to evaluate and improve safety controls. The courses are offered in English, Spanish, and French to support global workforce accessibility, and are seamlessly accessible through ISNetworld’s LMS and Empower tools at no additional cost to contractors.

“Over the past year, this partnership helped ISN continue to expand subscriber access to hazard awareness training, supporting how contractors manage risk in the field,” said Marie Anderson, Chief Customer Success Officer at ISN. “ISN data shows serious incidents are often tied to identifiable, high-energy hazards, and offering Safety Function’s training through ISNetworld helps our customers focus on the exposures that matter most to strengthen safety performance across operations.” For more information about ISN’s software and services, visit isn.com. Safety Function is a training and advisory firm specializing in applying safety science to practice, with a focus on Energy-Based Safety and the prevention of serious injuries and fatalities.

This partnership directly impacts Texas contractors by providing no-cost access to advanced safety training that addresses the root causes of serious injuries and fatalities. With over 17,500 courses assigned in the first year, the initiative demonstrates a tangible commitment to improving workplace safety across the state’s energy, construction, and industrial sectors. By equipping workers with tools like the Energy Wheel and HECA, contractors can better identify high-risk energy sources and implement controls, potentially reducing incidents and saving lives. For Texas businesses, this means enhanced safety performance, lower liability, and a stronger safety culture that benefits both employees and the bottom line.
