• It comes naturally to you…
• You know what you're doing; its what you've been trained to do your whole life…
• Nothing could possibly go wrong, right ?

OQ – Quick History
• Accidents• Congressional Mandates
– Training in 1994 – nixed by operators– Negotiated Rulemaking: 1996-1998– Qualification in 2002
• NTSB requires Training
![Page 35: PHMSA - Office of Pipeline Safety Warren Millerpuc.sd.gov/commission/PSOT/Presentation/millerupdate.pdf · 2013-04-25 · PHMSA - Office of Pipeline Safety Warren Miller .

U.S. Department of TransportationPipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
Operator Qualification (OQ)
• Since October 2002, OPS and State Agencies have been inspecting for operator compliance with the OQ regulation
• As of April 2, 6281 inspections have been performed, both HQ and field inspections
• Operators, contractors, trade associations, and third party consultants and vendors continue to review and refine covered tasks, abnormal operating conditions, and training
• Inspectors continue to find “covered tasks” that are not being treated as such by an operator.
![Page 36: PHMSA - Office of Pipeline Safety Warren Millerpuc.sd.gov/commission/PSOT/Presentation/millerupdate.pdf · 2013-04-25 · PHMSA - Office of Pipeline Safety Warren Miller .

U.S. Department of TransportationPipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
OQ Requirements
• Important records that should be kept:
– Evaluator information, including credentials
– Who performs each covered task on a job
– Training needs
![Page 39: PHMSA - Office of Pipeline Safety Warren Millerpuc.sd.gov/commission/PSOT/Presentation/millerupdate.pdf · 2013-04-25 · PHMSA - Office of Pipeline Safety Warren Miller .

U.S. Department of TransportationPipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
ONGOING
• PHMSA and State regulatory agencies continue to inspect in regard to operator qualification regulations
• HQ – Some 2nd round inspections, others are first time for new operators
• Field inspections – on most standard type
• Emphasis on AOCs
![Page 40: PHMSA - Office of Pipeline Safety Warren Millerpuc.sd.gov/commission/PSOT/Presentation/millerupdate.pdf · 2013-04-25 · PHMSA - Office of Pipeline Safety Warren Miller .

U.S. Department of TransportationPipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
ADVISORY BULLETIN• November 25, 2009
• Provided clarifying definitions of “significant” and “observation of on the job performance”
• Standardized the submittal of a modified OQ plan notification
• Addressed the need for OQ plan effectiveness reviews
![Page 41: PHMSA - Office of Pipeline Safety Warren Millerpuc.sd.gov/commission/PSOT/Presentation/millerupdate.pdf · 2013-04-25 · PHMSA - Office of Pipeline Safety Warren Miller .

U.S. Department of TransportationPipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
WHERE NOW• Management of Change is a crucial part of any
program, but with OQ it is important to ensure the loop has been closed.
• Example - A change to a procedure may necessitate a change in training, evaluation and qualification program, and also require communication to any number of groups, including contractors.
![Page 42: PHMSA - Office of Pipeline Safety Warren Millerpuc.sd.gov/commission/PSOT/Presentation/millerupdate.pdf · 2013-04-25 · PHMSA - Office of Pipeline Safety Warren Miller .

U.S. Department of TransportationPipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
WHERE NOW• Many large and mid-size companies developed
OQ programs by themselves or in a consortium
• Many companies purchased off-the-shelf programs or had programs developed specific to their company profile

WHERE NOW
• Numerous vendors are providing qualifications for company and contractor individuals
• The keeping of qualification records varies by company; some operators have their own databases and some use other database options

U.S. Department of TransportationPipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
WHERE NOW• AOC’s have been number one on the potential
issue list since OQ started.
• It is important to remember that some generic AOC training may not address operator specific conditions – NH3, CO2
• Some operators have determined that anyone on the facility gets basic AOC training
• Some operators have determined that there is a knowledge/gap on AOCs; 80/20 or 90/10

Inspections
• Inspections regarding OQ will continue to focus on the written plan, the covered tasks that an operator has for their program, the qualification and documentation of those individuals who are performing the covered task(s) on their facilities , and their ability to perform the covered task correctly.
