MEA’s Technical Training Committee Hosting OQ Success Conference Operator Qualification (OQ) is a regulatory requirement for pipeline operators and utility contractors. The intent of the OQ Rule is to ensure a properly qualified workforce, thereby reducing the probability and consequence of pipeline incidents or accidents caused by human error. MEA’s OQ Success Conference is a must-attend for anyone interested in OQ. The one-day conference will be held in Rochester, MN on August 8, 2017 and can be attended via livestream at your desk. MEA’s Technical Training Committee surveyed MEA members and EnergyU customers to determine agenda topics and discussion items. Committee members, regulators and industry experts will present on the OQ topics most requested, such as: - OQ Challenges and Opportunities
- National Portability
- Consequences of Comprised OQ Testing
- Product and Services Beyond Compliance
- Training the Next Generation of Gas Line Workers
- Safety – Implementation of PSMS 1173
- Why Root Cause Investigations May Not Prevent Reoccurrence
- And more!
