What is the difference between the new PQF and the old audit process and why are we changing?
Why do we need to audit our contractors?
Will this program only apply to contractors that perform fixed bid work?
How much is the PQF going to cost?
This looks like an effort to shift costs to contractors. Why are you making the contractor’s pay?
If I fill out the PQF online, will it be acceptable for all the local plants?
Is the local PQF accepted by any other geographical areas?
You say there is a one time annual fee. What if I want to access my PQF and update some portion of it? Will there be a fee for that?
What will be my current year?
How do I access the PQF?
What is the approved payment method?
What happens to my PQF after I submit it and who can look at it?
How is it going to be protected?
Just who was on this committee? Were any contractors involved?
How about the audits? Who is going to conduct the audits? How much will they cost and who pays for them? Who will see the results?
I understand the audit will also include information about Skill Certification for my employees. How will that work.
I am a general contractor and frequently hire sub-contractors to handle specialty work. Am I going to have to have a PQF on file for my subs and will my audit include an audit of them?
You said one of the prime objectives. Just what are the objectives of the PQF/Audit process?
If you have additional questions you may contact the Safety Council PQF/Audit Administrator who will either provide the answer or forward to the appropriate person or organization for the answer.
