American Petroleum Institute

For the next few days, my partners, Jared and John, will be at the American Petroleum Institute's 2005 Contractor Safety Management Conference in Austin, Texas. We are trying to get the word out about our contractor prequalification system. We were recently listed as a best practice affiliate company for British Petroleum and Conoco Phillips. We manage their contractor qualification information for a few of their refineries in California.

We recently added some new sections to our pre-qualifcation form (PQF) that the contractors in our database must fill out to join the PICS network. I added some sections on Process Safety Management, DOT pipeline operator qualification, marine vessels, and DOI minerals management. We're trying to make our information as general and universal as possible to allow contractors to only have to fill out our one qualification, thus reducing the redundancy often encounered at several different facilities.
