Welcome to the U.S. Silica Contractor Risk Management Program!

In an effort to strengthen our company's risk management program and ensure we are in compliance with internationally mandated laws and regulations, U.S. Silica has partnered with Achilles Information, LLC d/b/a Achilles and implemented the U.S. Silica Contractor Risk Management Program (Program) as part of our risk management policies.

The Program is designed to streamline the collection and management of key information regarding the regulatory and compliance status as well as business operations of our contractors.

As part of our contractor qualification, we now require contractors who conduct business with U.S. Silica participate by enrolling and passing the risk assessment process through Achilles. Key points follow:

  • Contractors must enroll in the Program and pass U.S. Silica's risk assessment criteria and provide documentation requested.
  • For all companies, there is a $500 USD non-refundable annual enrollment fee associated with the Program.
  • THIS IS NOT A PERSONAL CREDIT CHECK - PERSONAL CREDIT CHECKS ARE NOT PERFORMED.
  • You will be able to view the results of the risk assessment and have the opportunity to correct any deficiencies.
  • Failure to participate in this Program may require us to reconsider use of your company's products or services.
  • If you have further questions about the process or want to ensure this is a valid request, please contact the direct Procurement contact you work with at U.S. Silica.

CONTRACTOR BENEFITS

Know
Yourself

Like checking your personal credit reports each year, it is highly recommended that you check the information being reported about your company before U.S. Silica.

Market
Differentiator

By becoming compliant with U.S. Silica's requirements, your company differentiates itself from competitors that may not be compliant which levels the playing field.

Streamlined
Process

The Program allows a smooth and efficient process to understand and submit required information and documents via the Veritas Supplier Portal.

Client
Retention

As U.S. Silica continues to rationalize their contractor base, contractors that are compliant with the risk management program are more likely to maintain and possibly increase business.
