Dear Contractors:
Re: Outsourcing for your OQ Administrative Duties
Operator Qualification &
Certification Center, L.P, (OQCC), can be your “One Call
System” for all your OQ
needs.
Listed below is how we can
help you keep ahead and stay up-to-date on all operator qualifications for
DOT. We are an Accredited Sponsor for
the National Center for Construction and Education Research, (NCCER), which
allows us to administer assessments and performance verifications.
OQCC offers:
1. NCCER Written Assessments
– Targets the covered tasks that your operators are performing and gives an
immediate training transcript. The
transcript shows the covered tasks that the participant passed as well as
targeting the deficiencies for task training.
2. NCCER Performance
Verifications – Hands on assessments that are needed for some companies
that require both written and performance verifications.
3. OQ Administration – OQCC has the ability to facilitate ALL your DOT Compliance Record
Keeping. Every time one of your
employees takes a written assessment or performance verification, the OQ
reports have to be updated and resubmitted.
Also, if the Operator has updates or changes you have to resubmit OQ
Reports. This is not done automatically
and can become time consuming. In an
effort to help our Valued Clients stay up-to-date and not have to hire someone
to take on these responsibilities we have structured our services to be able to
take care of all your OQ needs. There is a minimal setup fee and annual
maintenance fee. You must have an ISNetworld
Subscription for us submit your OQ reports electronically.
OQCC will:
a.
Verify and correct your
employees information
b. Assign OQ Task information from assessments
c.
Assign Employees to
specific pipeline jobsites
d. Submit your OQ reports to the Pipeline Operators
e.
Track training
deficiencies of employees
f.
Update an Employee
Qualified Task List
g. Send reminders when OQ Certifications are going to
expire
