PUBLIC UTILITIES
PHMSA and state PUCs don't coordinate audits. Records have to satisfy both.
Municipal and public gas utilities manage compliance under both PHMSA and state PUC oversight—with a large field workforce, public accountability, and limited room for error. EWN gives you the qualification infrastructure to meet every standard.
Dual-agency oversight means your OQ program must satisfy two regulators—simultaneously.
Public utilities often answer to both PHMSA and their state public utility commission—each with specific documentation requirements, audit processes, and compliance standards. Managing a large field workforce of technicians and contractors under this dual oversight requires a qualification program that produces the right documentation, in the right format, when either regulator asks.
State PUC audits require different documentation formats and response timelines than PHMSA inspections
Large field workforces with high turnover create constant qualification tracking demands
Public accountability amplifies the consequences of qualification gaps or incidents tied to unqualified workers
Legacy systems and manual processes can't keep pace with increasingly rigorous regulatory expectations
Audit-ready for both regulators. Always.
EWN's platform was built for the distribution environment—which is where many public utilities operate. The reporting, documentation, and qualification tracking tools in EWN are designed to satisfy PHMSA inspection requirements and state PUC audits alike, with records that are always current and instantly accessible.
Compliance Documentation Built for Regulatory Review
EWN generates qualification reports formatted for regulatory review—by task, by worker, by date, and by contractor. When an inspector arrives, the documentation they need is already organized and ready.
Large Workforce Management
Manage qualification records for hundreds or thousands of field workers—with automated renewal tracking, proactive expiration alerts, and coverage gap visibility that keeps your program current at scale.
Contractor Integration for Utility Contractors
Public utilities often rely heavily on contract crews for service and construction work. EWN's contractor management tools give your program visibility into contractor qualification status—so your compliance picture is complete, not just the employee portion.
