Operator Qualification Plan
1.0 Purpose
1.1 TDWs Commitment
TDWs Commitment to Quality: At TDW, quality means understanding customer needs
with a focus on meeting their requirements without error, on time, every time. As an
organization, we anticipate and respond to the maintenance needs of owners and
operators of pressurized piping systems worldwide. By dedicating the resources
necessary, our organization commits to making Quality an integral part of our business
operating practices.
This plan establishes the Qualification requirements for TDW technicians to perform
covered tasks on pipeline facilities according to rigorous TDW quality standards.
TDW has maintained a rigorous Technician Qualification program for many years. All
TDW technicians are currently qualified.
Note: TDW is a contractor, not a pipeline owner/operator and cannot by law qualify
TDW technicians. TDW trusts that domestic pipeline owner/operators will accept the
TDW Qualification Program and reference their acceptance.
1.2 U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline Safety Regulations
This plan meets all Department of Transportation (DOT) Research and Special Program
Administration Regulations in adherence to the Pipeline Safety Act of 1992 and the
accountable Pipeline Safety and Partnership Act of 1996. This plan has been prepared
to meet the minimum requirements specified in 49 CFR Part 192, Subpart N, and 49
CFR Part 195, Subpart G. This plan also follows the Operator Qualification Inspection
Protocol guidelines.
1.3 Other Government Regulations
This plan meets all the requirements required for Operator Qualification by the following
government entities:
State of Illinois Commercial Code Pipeline Safety Regulations Title 83 Chapter 1 Sub-
Chapter D Gas Utilities Part 52a.
1.4 ISO 9000
This plan meets policy and procedural requirements of TDW Quality Management
Systems, which meets or exceeds ISO 9001: 2008 Quality Management standard
requirements for employee training programs. These procedures include identification of
training needs, development of the training plan, verification of conformance to
regulatory, market and organizational requirements, training, documentation of training
received and evaluation of the training.
1
1.5 ASME B31Q
This plan uses the ASME B31Q Personnel Qualification Standard as guidance material.
2.0 Scope
This plan will assure pipeline operators who contract with TDW for covered task
services that TDW field technicians are trained in the classroom, tested and observed in
simulated and live situations, and have documented all subcontract records meeting
DOT Operator Qualification requirements and the highest standards in the domestic and
international pipeline industry.
This plan became effective April 27, 2001, and applies to both initial qualification of
trainees and subsequent qualification of veteran technicians. Revisions are noted on the
cover page.
3.0 Definitions
Ability: The mental and physical ability to perform a task.
Abnormal Operating Condition: A pipeline condition, identified by the pipeline

consensus of pipeline operators. As contractors, TDW must accept the covered task
determination of pipeline operators.
4.0 Evaluation Process
Persons with the responsibility for evaluating an individuals qualifications to perform
covered tasks will have the required knowledge through education, training or experience
to ascertain the ability of the individual. Persons who observe a Technician or Trainee in
a simulated or live task must be qualified technicians or an established subject matter
expert (SME). See Appendix 8 for current evaluators and their individual credentials.
4.1 Methodology
The methodology for evaluating covered tasks will include all of the following:
1. Written exams
2. Oral exams
3. Observation during:
A. Simulation
B. Live jobs
This plan provides for TDW and third party tests and performance verification forms.
See Appendix 1 (Covered Task List) for source.
TDW Technicians also undergo the following activities to assure technical quality:

4.3 Overview
TDW field technicians receive extensive, on-the-job training, including classroom
training, hands-on training and testing during their trainee status. Trainees also
accompany and observe live jobs conducted by Qualified Technicians. This on-the-job
training process is covered by the appropriate Knowledge/Skills Inventory Form. Each
entry is approved by a Manager / Supervisor, Qualified Technician or Technical
Services Personnel.
Trainees and TDW field technicians attend mandatory technicians schools. Provided by
TDW, these schools are formal and rigorous, and include technical product and
methodology updates.
Re-qualification / evaluation is conducted when expirations are near and follows the
same requirements of initial qualification.

2. Field training
3. Equipment knowledge
4. Covered task procedures (See Appendix 1)
5. Prevention of accidental ignition of gas (See Appendix 3)
6. Recognition of Abnormal Operating Conditions (See Appendix 2)
7. Safety training (See Appendix 6)
Oral and written tests are administered throughout the process in a proctored and
controlled environment. See specific forms in Appendix 6 for each Technician level on
specific equipment and situations. These forms indicate the progressive equipment and
application requirements for each level.
4.5 Technician Training Schools
This process is conducted under the direction of Technical Services Management, the
Global Training Manager and the Pipeline Services Management Team. Typical
sessions include the following components:
1. Classroom instruction: Includes basic equipment operation, procedural and

2. Cumulative Qualification testing score of not less than 80 percent. See Appendix 7.
3. Performance verification results.
4. Complete review of Field Performance Reports (FPR). See Appendix 12, 17 and 21.
5. Complete review of Technician Field Audits. Note: At least one Field Audit must

APPENDIX 2
Abnormal Operating Conditions (AOCs)
INTRODUCTION
The United States Department of Transportation, in adherence to the Pipeline Safety
Act of 1992 and the accountable Pipeline Safety and Partnership Act of 1996, requires
maintenance personnel to recognize and react properly to abnormal operating
conditions.
Abnormal operating conditions are defined as a pipeline condition identified by the
operator that may indicate a component malfunction, or a deviation from normal
operations. The malfunction or deviation may:
1. Indicate a condition exceeding design limits; or
2. Result in a hazard(s) to persons, property, or the environment.
TDW technicians should recognize the following conditions as being abnormal:
1. Apparent unplanned release of a pipeline fluid (gas or liquid). T.D. Williamson hot
tapping and plugging equipment is designed to contain pressurized products.
2. Fire or explosion.
3. Obvious misalignment of the equipment attached to the pipeline facility (fittings,
valves, adapters, tapping machines, plugging machines, clamps, etc.).
4. Out-of-date elastomers.
5. Malfunction of the equipment or fittings attached to the pipeline facility.
6. Presence of pipeline pressures exceeding the design limits of the fittings or
equipment.
7. Unplanned flow rates.
8. Obvious physical damage to equipment or the pipeline facility.
9. Activation of safety devices.
10. Unplanned status (start up, shut down, open valves, etc.).
11. Interruption of communication.
12. Inadequate odorization of gas or reports of odor.
13. Actual pipeline conditions differ from information on technicians job info sheet.
When abnormal operating conditions exist, the Technician shall:
1. Stop operations and inform project site manager.
2. Follow safety regulations and procedures agreed to with the Pipeline Operator
prior to the operation.
3. Take appropriate corrective actions.
4. Inform project site manager and stop working on his portion of the job if the
above steps have not corrected the condition.
TDW Services Technicians are trained to recognize abnormal operating conditions.
Detailed information on Abnormal Operating Conditions is contained in TDW Services
training materials for specific machines and applications.
19
TDW technicians are evaluated with NCCER AOC General #AOC FIELD and with
Prevention of Accidental Ignition of Gas.
TDW technicians are trained with a complete Health, Safety and Environmental
Package.
20
APPENDIX 3
Prevention of Accidental Ignition of Gas
TDW Services training is based on TDW CT50 and EWEBOQ materials for Prevention
of Accidental Ignition of Gas Modules.
