Operator Qualifications
The Operator Qualification (OQ) Rule is addressed in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations and it mandates that individuals who perform certain “Covered Tasks” be qualified trough an Operator Qualification Process. The intent of the OQ Rule is to ensure protection of both personnel and the general public. Providing individuals with the necessary knowledge and skills is essential in order for your business to operate successfully.
