CRM Services
At Integrity Solutions
Our regulatory experts begin by performing a comprehensive CRM Applicability Analysis to evaluate the applicability and required compliance level of a regulated pipeline control room, in accordance with §192.631 and §195.446 requirements. Based on the results of this analysis we provide detailed recommendations for improvements in control room operations and regulatory compliance, including recommendations for developing or updating the required comprehensive, written CRM Plan.
