Veriforce rigorously reviews all records submitted by operators, evaluators and contractors to assure they are accurate and consistent. Incomplete or inaccurate records never make it into the Veriforce system so you are assured that there is always a full, completely accurate, audit trail.
Our clients have complete confidence in the integrity and availability of our records and the reporting process. For each “record of evaluation” submitted, Veriforce even ensures that the evaluator of record has been authorized for the task covered during the evaluation.
As a Veriforce client, you can quickly access all records and documentation of the reporting process. If you are audited, Veriforce will be there with you throughout the audit process. We also provide assistance to operators in investigating incidents and accidents reported during the audit process to determine the need for re-qualification.
Evaluators – Veriforce routinely monitors evaluator performance to ensure that evaluations are conducted in accordance with the operator’s OQ Program and Veriforce procedures. Evaluators are randomly selected for an audit, but may also be audited on a “for cause” basis when there is evidence to suggest procedural violations.
Qualified Personnel - Random and “for cause” audits are conducted of previously qualified individuals to ensure they have not contributed to an incident or accident while performing a covered task(s) to ensure there is no other reason to suspect the individual may no longer be qualified. All personnel audits are conducted relative to all applicable operator clients to promote economies of scale.
Records – As the last step in concluding an evaluator or qualified personnel audit, all internal records are audited for completeness and accuracy and to assure that electronic records within VeriSource are consistent with submitted records.
“Since becoming an operator member with Veriforce, they’ve always been very responsive to our needs, and great at providing innovative solutions to enhance the system. They offer a fresh perspective in dealing with the qualification issues the pipelines have faced and from that have built a solid tool for the operators and contractors.
The service is great, they’re responsive. If you call with a problem it’s generally fixed immediately. There’s not a lot of red tape to go through before they handle things.”
