Self-verification (SV) is a systematic process used for verifying effective implementation of requirements not limited to those from regulations, statutes, internal company systems, and client organizations. An effective SV process promotes a safety-first culture, helps minimize external audits/inspections, and ensures efficient operations compliant with all necessary rules and regulations.

The complete paper discusses the steps taken by Tucker Energy Services (TES) to implement a risk-based SV process through a bespoke software application.
