For level 2 abuse: the first finding will result in a 1-year suspension of all Certification’s of that
individual. A second finding will result in permanent revocation of all Certifications.
Revocations or suspensions for abuse or negligence in one Certification area are considered
revocations or suspensions in all Certifications held by the technician.
Allegations of negligence or abuse are made to the Quality Assurance Engineer (QAE) in
writing. The allegations will contain the name, address, and signature of the individual(s)
making the allegation. The QAE will investigate all allegations. The QAE will decide if the
incident is significant to warrant review by the Certification Advisory Committee (CAC). If the
incident is given to the CAC for review, then the accused and the individual(s) making the
allegation are given the opportunity to appear before the CAC to present any appropriate
information. Within a 60 day period, all involved parties will receive a report of the findings in
writing. Any warranted penalties will be imposed in accordance with guidance contained herein
and according to the guidelines outlined under the Technician Compliant Process (See Appendix
F). Decisions regarding allegations of negligence or abuse may be appealed in writing to the
Committee Chair. The Committee Chair will independently consider such written appeals but
may rely on the advice and counsel of the Committee.
Because ODOT is a member of the Western Alliance for Quality Transportation Construction,
the Certifications are honored by other member states. The Certification Advisory Committee
will notify the other members of the WAQTC, or other participants in the TTQP, of anyone
having a Certification revoked or suspended.
