SVI BREMCO Achieves RAVS® Plus Certification: What It Means for Our Clients

Written by Scott Schreeg | News

At SVI BREMCO, safety isn’t just a policy—it’s part of our culture. That commitment was recently recognized when we earned RAVS® Plus certification through ISNetworld, a prestigious verification process that sets contractors apart in health, safety, and environmental (HSE) standards. But what exactly is RAVS® Plus? And more importantly, why should our clients care?

Let’s break it down.

What Is RAVS® Plus?

RAVS® Plus (Review and Verification Services Plus) is an advanced audit and verification program developed by ISNetworld (ISN), the global leader in contractor and supplier management. Unlike basic compliance checks, RAVS® Plus takes a deep dive into a company’s safety programs, not just reviewing what’s written on paper, but also ensuring those policies are understood, implemented, and lived out across job sites.

This program goes beyond traditional safety reviews. It includes:

In-depth audits of safety documentation
Interviews with key personnel
Assessments of training, communication, and safety culture
Ongoing performance evaluations

In short, RAVS® Plus helps bridge the gap between what’s written and what actually happens in the field.

Why Is RAVS® Plus a Big Deal?

Participating in RAVS® Plus is entirely voluntary—and only a small percentage of contractors meet the high standards required to pass. Earning the certification is a mark of excellence. It shows that a company isn’t just checking boxes but is actively committed to the health and safety of its team, clients, and job sites.

When SVI BREMCO went through the RAVS® Plus process earlier this year, the ISN auditors were impressed, not just with our documentation, but with our people, our training methods, and our day-to-day safety practices. In fact, they noted that only a small percentage of companies score as high as we did during their audit process.

Now, our clients can see this achievement displayed right on our ISNetworld profile through the official RAVS® Plus badge, instantly signaling that SVI BREMCO is a contractor they can trust.

What’s In It for Our Clients?

If you’re a project manager, safety director, or procurement specialist looking to hire a contractor, here’s why our RAVS® Plus certification should matter to you:

1. Peace of Mind

When you work with a RAVS® Plus-certified contractor, you know you’re partnering with a company that’s been thoroughly vetted for safety, compliance, and performance. It reduces the guesswork, and the risk.

2. Reduced Liability

Companies with strong, proven safety programs help lower the chance of job site incidents. That protects your team, your timeline, and your bottom line. With SVI BREMCO, you can be confident that safety isn’t just a slogan, it’s our standard.

3. Regulatory Compliance

Navigating OSHA regulations and other safety requirements can be a complex process. By choosing a contractor with a verified, best-practice safety program, you streamline compliance and avoid costly delays or citations.

4. Strong Safety Culture

Hiring a contractor with a strong safety culture can positively influence your own project culture. It sets a tone of professionalism, responsibility, and accountability, benefiting everyone on site.

5. Commitment to Continual Improvement

RAVS® Plus isn’t a one-time achievement. It’s part of an ongoing process of review, improvement, and excellence. At SVI BREMCO, we welcome this ongoing oversight because it helps us improve year after year.
