Quality Assurance

At Prism, Quality Assurance is exercised by every employee at the company because every employee is involved in quality management. Employees are trained in fire-watch training, CVN Awareness, task specific training (i.e. blown fiber, connector building, various welding techniques) and other forms of training needed to perform daily tasking. Every employee is required to demonstrate competence before being permitted to perform tasks.

Through various training programs, our employees receive training on current processes and equipment used to perform these tasks. Top Management at Prism Maritime is committed to providing excellence services to its customers. This commitment to Quality Assurance is reinforced through customer surveys that gauge the effectiveness and efficiency of our services and through monitoring and measuring efforts. Top Management takes the results from these efforts and identifies areas where Prism can improve.
