“Not only are regulated entities coping with a loss of tribal knowledge, decreasing budgets, and inefficient work processes; at the same time regulatory agencies are increasing scrutiny in light of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant disaster, power reliability risk, and the need for results-based performance,” notes Enos.
“Our 25 years of experience with regulators and more than 100 generation owners and generation operators (GO/GOP) was the foundation for this exciting suite of regulatory solutions,” continued Mr. Enos. “These comprehensive, ‘all in one place’ compliance solutions ensure that everyone – onsite, across the plant, or in multiple locations – is equipped with the right tools, skills, and knowledge to cut through regulatory risk, complexity, and too much information (TMI).”
“We invite licensing and compliance professionals to visit our newly-designed website, www.certrec.com for more information,” says Mr. Enos.
