What Makes ORC Different?
The difference between ORC and other contract operations is that other companies have one highly certified operator, which the whole company relies on to fulfill the Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) requirements for a majority of their client's facilities. We have an entirely different philosophy of cultivating as many highly certified operators in-house and utilizing the actual facility operator and/or their ORC certification. By utilizing the certification of the existing facility operator, we instill a sense of responsibility, accountability, dependability, and self-pride, which benefits the operator and the client.We also implement self-checks and balances and in-house QA/QC programs through our various staffing resources to ensure that all process sampling, laboratory analysis, and associated reporting requirements are fulfilled accurately and accordingly.
