As a result of the major oil companies (called Operators) coming together to standardize the Basic Orientation safety training, they determined that the questionnaire and audits they were sending out to contractors could also be standardized.  As a result in 1996 they agreed upon a questionnaire and the Standardized Safety Questionnaire (SSQ) was born.  

The SSQ was sent out as a hard copy at first and moved to an electronic copy in 1997.  Today, the SSQ is a web-based on-line questionnaire database application that can be accessed from any Internet capable computer.  Participation in the SSQ is free to the Contractors.
