Evaluators and Evaluations

Conducting OQ evaluations is the most critical component of Operator Qualification; however, there is no knowledge base evaluators and administrators can go to for answers. Energy Worldnet has the guidance information you need based on years of operator and contractor evaluator experience and OQ inspection experience from a regulatory perspective.    

In this webinar, we’ll go through lessons learned during an evaluator’s adventures in OQ, starting from the OQ Rule's inception through today. We’ll share the good, the bad, and the ugly aspects of OQ evaluations to help your evaluators improve. 

Takeaways:

  • This webinar will share best practices and approaches to how OQ evaluators should conduct evaluations to ensure individuals are properly assessed to perform covered tasks.  
  • We’ll discuss why OQ exists and whether OQ is solving the problems that led to its creation.
  • We’ll focus on how evaluators play a crucial role in pipeline safety.  

More About This Webinar

In the context of Operator Qualification (OQ), the terms “suspension” and “disqualification” are used almost interchangeably.

However, these terms have very different meanings.

In this webinar, we will explain how suspension and disqualification are used by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and how operators and contractors should understand these terms and incorporate them into their written OQ Programs. 

In this video, get a glimpse of the real-world examples that Brian will demonstrate in the webinar.
