Welcome to CQ Network!
Your CQ Network account has four primary components and many supporting features. The primary components are information questionnaires, document storage including verification and tracking; CQN and client approval tools; and task management functionality.
You will complete your Profile (Locations and Services), Questionnaire and Document Submittal. Once complete, CQN will administer an evaluation of your health and safety submittal. You will be notified of the evaluation status when it is done and it will be posted to the Evaluation section in your account. Your Approval status will also be updated and viewable on your Home page.
Locations
You must select at least one location that you operate in and/or the location of the work you conduct for your client. The location(s) selected will also determine the WCB / WSIB / EMR document requirements. For each location, you will need to upload the past three years and current year WCB Premium Rate Statements and current WCB / WSIB / EMR Clearance Letter.
Required Documents
Make sure you have WCB/ WSIB/ EMR Premium Rate Statements (past 3 years and current year per location), current WC Clearance Letter per location, Certificate of Incorporation, Insurance certificates (General Liability and Automotive with a minimum $2 million per occurrence policy limit), and the Health and Safety Manual, as these are required documents from CQN. If you have the Health and Safety Audit Certificate (COR or equivalent), this can also be uploaded.
Your client(s) may have additional document requirements. You can access these from the Documents section.
Questionnaire
The CQN questionnaire contains just over 40 questions in the areas of:
- General Information
- Organization:
- Corporate Structure, Contracts, Work History/Legal
- OHS Management:
- H & S and Environmental performance (stats) for the last three years,
- Regulatory Compliance, Incident Management, Training, etc.
- Environmental Management
- Quality Management
- Contractor Management
The past 3 years of provincial/state safety performance data as well as regulatory compliance data (orders, citations, etc.) for the past three years is required for approval, so make sure you have the data ready for input. CQN questions shown as 'Required for Approval' must be complete in order to maintain your approval status.
To complete the questionnaire, click on the Questionnaire section from the left menu, then choose ‘Complete Questionnaire’. As you answer questions, you will see the completeness bar in the Questionnaire widget (Home page) display your progress.
You may have outstanding questions, so keep an eye on the Outstanding Questions section. You may also see questions added by client(s) that you are connected to. (Make sure you are connected to your client.)
