Veriforce is the only operator qualification (OQ) service provider that verifies, audits, and has complete documentation for all your compliance records. We are not an off-the-shelf product selling you a database, task list, or canned training. We are an outsourced solution that saves valuable work time for your OQ employees. Our system is real-time accessible so your documentation can be provided on-the-spot.
We provide program development assistance and support for pipeline operators who want to establish or revise their OQ programs. When you work with Veriforce to set up or modify your OQ program, you benefit from our years of experience and extensive knowledge of the connected elements of OQ rule so that your contractors and employees are always in compliance.
We can also manage your incoming and outgoing requirement notifications, perform evaluator authorizations, and manage external qualifications to determine if they meet your company’s requirements for covered tasks. We offer customized training programs for evaluators, internal personnel, and contractors, all centered around your processes. We can minimize your work while maximizing your protection in case of audit. Find out how: 800.426.1604
We offer full documentation of every qualification record, so that in the event of an inspection or audit you have full backup for every employee or contractor’s covered task authorizations. In the event of an audit, we offer in-person audit support. We’ll arrive before the auditors, help you answer their questions, and leave after they do so you have support throughout the audit process.
Our VeriSource system offers you instant access to personnel records, including OQ compliance documents and drug and alcohol testing, in addition to field verification and lists of approved vendors and service line installers. Our comprehensive recordkeeping gives you full backup of personnel records.
Our CCT list programs have been developed in collaboration with many OQ compliance experts and evaluated by DOT regulators. Our CCT list services make OQ compliance tracking easy for you. Rest assured that the work at your job site will never have to stop for lack of qualified personnel.
Veriforce does not sell covered task lists. As your operator qualification service provider, we offer a choice of three Common Covered Task list options:
All CCT list options allow you to maintain full control and ownership of the list you are using. You can customize your list by adding and subtracting tasks and take advantage of granting options available for contractor qualifications.
We give you access to a pool of four million contractors qualified to work with all common operators and immediately available in emergency situations.
We do not sell a task list or training program. We work with your task list and your systems, and customize our system to meet your needs. We will gladly administer your task list, but if you don’t have one or feel your existing task list needs improvement, we can work with you to develop your own, or to modify our existing task list to fit your needs. All of our pipeline operator clients receive a personalized solution- we do not offer an off-the-shelf product. To find out what solution works best for you, contact us at customerservice@veriforce.com.
“We’ve been with them since the beginning and we’re spoiled. When we need them we need them now, and they’re very willing to help. There’s nothing they wouldn’t do for us. They will drop everything and fly where needed at a moment’s notice. When we had a DOT audit, they came to our location and stayed until the auditors left to answer questions and make suggestions.
They’re just the best, that’s all. I couldn’t do my job without them.”
