About OCS Verifier Training
OCS Verifier Training equips eligible professionals with the knowledge and certificate required to conduct onsite facility inspections for OCS Blue and OCS Logistics members. Approved verifiers assess whether facilities are properly implementing OCS practices to prevent plastic resin loss — a program requirement of these membership categories.
OCS Verification inspections may only be conducted by approved OCS Verifiers with audit service providers and independent consultancies that meet the eligibility criteria and who have successfully completed OCS Verifier Training.
OCS Verifier Training costs $125 and once successfully completed, your OCS Verifier Status is valid for three years.
