Safety & Quality
This page lists the safety and quality topics plant engineers ask contractors about. We will talk through any of them.
Safety culture
An operating plant has real hazards. We plan for them before the crew arrives.
- Job planning and hazard review before work starts
- Following the site rules and permit requirements of the facility
- Crew briefings and clear stop-work expectations
- Reporting and learning from incidents and near misses
Quality assurance procedures
Quality assurance shows that the work meets the specification. Ask us what we document.
- Work planned against the drawings and specifications for your scope
- Material control and traceability where the scope requires it
- Records that support the work, supplied to the customer as the contract requires
- A way to handle nonconforming work and corrective action
Welder qualifications
Welding procedures and welder qualifications must match the code and the work. Ask us how we manage this.
- Welding procedures that apply to the materials and process in your scope
- Welder qualification records matched to the work being performed
- Supervision of welding work in the field and in the shop
Inspection processes
Inspection confirms the work before the customer accepts it. The method depends on the scope and the governing code.
- Visual checks during fabrication and installation
- Coordination with customer inspectors and third-party inspectors
- Examination and testing as the scope and code require
- Documentation of inspection results
Certifications
