We are living in the Information Age. Most colleges, many high schools, and even some elementary schools are now relying heavily on eBooks and iPads. More and more utility companies are doing so as well. Why? Well, in an age of information, instant access to it is essential. The central insight of the learning organization movement was encapsulated by Arie de Geus, formerly of Shell Oil and author of The Living Company (Harvard Business School Press, 1997), who observed, "In the future, an organization's ability to learn faster than its competitors may be its only sustainable competitive advantage." Not only was he correct, but the time that he foresaw has arrived.

 

As your partner in the industry, ENERGY worldnet, Inc.'s Learning and Content Management System (LCMS) gives you a number of options when it comes to the type of training that you want to utilize for your workforce. We provide several hundred Computer-Based Trainings (CBTs), Written Evaluations (WEs) of knowledge, and Performance Evaluations (PEs) for Operator Qualifications (OQ), more than half of which are also available in Spanish. Our standardized training is fully customizable, meaning that pipeline and utility companies can make it specific to their unique needs by editing it as little or as much as they would like in our user-friendly system. Moreover, you can even create courses and evaluations from scratch. Truly, the sky is the limit.

 

Furthermore, ENERGY worldnet, Inc. has by far the best Records Management system in the industry. The final rule for OQ "sets record keeping requirements that operators must follow to successfully demonstrate compliance, and the information that must be maintained on each person who has been evaluated and deemed qualified to work on a pipeline facility" (DOT/PHMSA). In light of this, ENERGY worldnet, Inc. used the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) Form 14 OQ Inspection Form as a blueprint when designing our Records Management system, so that it can be used for compliance with all nine of the protocols for DOT/PHMSA audits. Our clients can easily maintain all of their OQ program records in the same system that they use to train and qualify their employees. A qualification "trail" is automatically recorded any time a knowledge or performance evaluation is administered. Clients can easily manage their Covered Task list (including requalification intervals and span-of-control limitations) and even record evaluations and qualifications from any number of sources, not just those that are done through ENERGY worldnet, Inc. Employee suspensions, Iinvestigations,event scheduling tools and a whole suite of customized reports are only a few clicks away. In addition, the EWN system provides a quick view OQ Dashboard, automated evaluation expiration notifications and email event reminders. In other words, the ENERGY worldnet, Inc. LCMS and Records Management database isn't just the best in the industry, it's also the most user-friendly too!
