JCC will be Conducting Subpart O Contractor Audits
Published on August 19, 2004

J. Connor Consulting, Inc. (JCC) will be conducting Subpart O contractor audits over the next few months. This is an offer to have us audit your primary contractors and potentially enjoy a significant price break should other operators determine to participate. Our normal price for a single Subpart O audit is $1500 plus expenses. The price will be discounted to $500 plus prorated expenses per audit should enough operators join in. The audit procedure follows:

AUDIT PROCEDURE
  1. Contractor’s Subpart O Training Plan will be reviewed for consistency with your company’s requirements and compliance with the MMS regulations.
  2. Specific performance claims, gathered from the contractor’s plan, will be verified.
  3. The contractor’s Training Manager will be interviewed.
  4. The Subpart O Audit Checklist will be completed.
  5. We will ensure that Contractor’s training includes a "hands-on" component, as required by MMS.
  6. A Contractor Evaluation Form will be completed, if not previously on file.
  7. We will verify, by reviewing training completion records that all workers required to have production safety training on your company properties have been appropriately trained.
  8. In some cases interviews with field personnel, reviews of training curricula, and walk throughs of simulators and classroom facilities will be performed.
  9. A complete written report documenting the audit findings will be prepared at the conclusion of the audit.
Attached is a list of contractors we will be auditing. Please review the list and indicate which audits you wish to participate in. If you do not find a contractor on the list please fill in the blank space provided at end of the list. We will follow up with the audit dates and your cost.
