Avetta, a leading supply chain risk management (SCRM) software provider, announced a strategic partnership with Energy Worldnet (EWN), an industry benchmark in training and compliance solutions for the energy sector.
This collaboration will combine EWN’s Operator Qualification (OQ) management features with the Avetta One platform, delivering a streamlined solution for midstream operators to enhance worker safety and meet regulatory OQ compliance requirements.
Managing contractor qualifications can be a significant administrative burden, especially for clients under Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) regulations. And the oil and gas industry has long awaited a solution to eliminate data consistency issues between OQ providers and compliance software, which often slows a client’s ability to respond to PHMSA audits.
This newly announced partnership addresses this need by offering a seamless approach to managing contractor OQ compliance and existing prequalification, business, financial, and cyber risk assessments, ensuring adherence and oversight of critical safety standards in pipeline operations.
The additional benefits include improved compliance tracking for regulatory audits, data synchronization to ensure contractor OQ compliance information is current and accurate, and a comprehensive view of contractor compliance, workforce safety, and OQ compliance for clients managing active pipeline operations. And the data will also be available on Avetta’s Mobile Solution, allowing contractors to view compliance information onsite.
KEY QUOTES:
“Integrating EWN’s OQ data with Avetta One Worker Management equips pipeline operators with a single platform to oversee both safety and OQ requirements efficiently. Pipeline operator qualification gets complicated with changing requirements, but EWN and Avetta offer a streamlined solution that improves training, transparency, and traceability, simplifying operations and PHMSA audits.”
-Taylor Allis, CPO of Avetta
“We’re excited to partner with Avetta to enhance compliance in the energy sector. This integration aligns with EWN’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge tools that streamline OQ processes, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance. Together, we’re driving operational excellence across the industry.”
-Coleman Sterling, EWN’s CEO
“We are thrilled about Avetta’s partnership with EWN, as it opens up new pathways for streamlined OQ solutions, empowering teams to ensure compliance and boost operational efficiency. With the addition of the Safety Maturity Index (SMI), an even more robust and streamlined contractor/supplier solution, we’re fueling a future where safety and excellence go hand in hand.”
-Sean Kelly, Director of Environmental, Health, Safety and Compliance at Producers Midstream
