| Testimonials ... |
| |
| Nigel Bowker, HSE Manager, Supply Chain Management at BP said, "BP was delighted to be the first FPAL purchaser to sign up for Verify.
We have already found it to be very useful in our contract evaluation process and look to using it further in our continuous process of
contractor verification. We hope that many of our suppliers will commit to the system so that we can have a cascade of assurance" |
| |
| Allan Hannah, QHSES Leader at Technip said, “The rigour of the new FPAL Verified Assessment Process is a real value added improvement over
the existing Advanced Registration Profiling System. Emergency Response Procedures have been updated since the assessment and our new web-based ‘Synergi’
reporting system now provides for improved analysis and review of Near Miss Reports.” |
