Allnorth is the first company to be nationally OQM certified in Canada
Posted on 03.02.2017
Allnorth has achieved certification with APEGBC’s Organizational Quality Management program, commonly called OQM, in the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland/Labrador. In 2016, APEGBC and Engineers Canada teamed up to bring the benefits of OQM program to organizations across Canada. The OQM program has been in place in British Columbia for over 4 years with resounding success.
OQM certification demonstrates that Allnorth is a leader in its commitment to quality management practices and standards. Clients can be confident that Allnorth supports their professionals in meeting their obligations by implementing endorsed APEGBC standardized procedures to efficiently meet project needs.
OQM is based upon seven Quality Management requirements for professionals:
• Use of Professional Seal
• Retention of Project Documentation
• Documented Checks of Engineering and Geoscience work
• Documented Independent Structural Reviews
• Direct Supervision
• Documented Field Reviews during Implementation or Construction
• The application of Technical Practice Guidelines.
Allnorth embraces these principles in our Quality Management System, and shares our best practices, policies and procedures across the entire organization (Canada and USA) for all our professionals.
