Pass an audit this quarter
An owner just asked for an audit response, an OQ list, an MSQ, or a written safety program, and you have a deadline. We've done this on rush before.

We build your program right the first time
Written safety program, RAVS®, PSQ, training matrix, OQ, IIPP. Whichever modules apply. Built once, kept current, never duplicated across platforms.

Quarterly reviews, document refresh, audit responses, OSHA log support, scorecard remediation. The maintenance you don't have to remember.
vs DIY
The math usually favors outsourcing once you count what it takes to actually keep up.
Most contractors come to us after the office manager who was handling prequal "in their spare time" finally hits the wall. Here is what changes.
Status quo
Doing it internally
Office manager, HSE coordinator, or controller spending 8 to 15 hours a week on prequalification across platforms. Reactive, not proactive. Knowledge ages out fast as platforms update. Failure mode: a scorecard quietly drops the day before an RFP.
Managed
With CAN
2 to 3 hours a week of your time, mostly approving drafts. We track every platform's policy changes the day they publish. Quarterly reviews catch slips before they become contract risk.
Difference
What changes
70 percent of your team's time back. Account managers who keep their context across years, not weeks. You stop getting blindsided by platform changes you didn't see coming.
Who you'll be working with
No call center. No rotating account managers. Senior practitioners on every call.

FAQ
Real questions contractors ask before booking.
If yours isn't here, ask on the call. We'd rather answer it once for you than let it sit on a generic FAQ page.
How fast can you get me to 'Approved' on Avetta®?
Depends on what your platform is asking for and how quickly you can pull a couple of pieces of evidence (insurance certs, OSHA logs, written program). Most clients move from sign-up to a passing scorecard in 2 to 6 weeks. Rush jobs in under 14 days are common when a contract is on the line.What does ongoing maintenance cost?
$3,500 per platform per year, flat. Same scope per platform regardless of which one. Other services (manuals, ISO, training, DOT) are quoted separately. Full breakdown on the pricing page.Do you handle California IIPP for out-of-state companies with CA jobsites?
Yes. That is a common case. California's IIPP requirements (8 CCR §3203, with construction additions in §1509) are stricter and more specific than most other state programs. Out-of-state safety manuals routinely fail Cal/OSHA inspection because they don't have the California-specific elements documented in writing. We will write or amend your IIPP so it survives a Cal/OSHA inspection on a CA jobsite.What if my OSHA score is bad? Can you still help?
Yes. Bad OSHA history is exactly when you most need a real prequalification partner. We'll write the corrective-action narratives platforms need to see, document your safety improvements, and (where applicable) request manual review from the platform's compliance team.How do I switch from a competitor mid-cycle?
We do this routinely. Most transitions take 1 to 2 weeks. We pull your current platform documents, compare them to what's actually required, and rebuild any gaps. Most contractors don't lose any platform standing in the transition.Are you a CAN employee or do I work directly with Justin?
You work directly with Justin and Stacey. Justin owns strategy and platform decisions; Stacey runs the documentation work. No call center. No rotating account managers. Same two senior practitioners across the life of the engagement.What's the smallest contractor you'll work with?
We've worked with contractors as small as a 4-person specialty crew and as large as multi-state operators. The economics work below 10 employees if you have at least one prequalification platform requirement; below that, we'll usually point you to the platform's free guides and check back when you're ready.Can you handle the same platform across multiple owners?
Yes. The same contractor often has different scorecards on the same platform depending on which owner you're working for: Shell vs Chevron on ISN®, multiple operators on ConstructSecure®, and so on. We track per-owner so nothing falls below threshold quietly. This is one of the most common reasons contractors lose standing without realizing it.Do you write our safety manual, or do we?
We write it. You review and sign off. Custom to your trades, your sites, and your customers' specific requirements. Most contractors come to us with a 2014 Word doc; we use that as the starting point, not a blank template. Delivered as both a three-ring binder and a branded electronic version on a flash drive.What if I just need help on one platform, not all of them?
That is how most clients start. No retainer minimum, no bundle requirement. The economics work platform by platform. Plenty of contractors expand once they see how it works on their first account.
