In this episode of Career Can Do, Mary Ann Faremouth chats with Merritt Chastain, who is Director of the National Association of Pipe Coating Applicators, the organization responsible for promoting a higher standard of pipeline coating quality. He is also a shareholder at Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C.
NAPCA was founded out of concern for the integrity of pipelines, because an insecure pipeline could result in large explosions and potentially billions of dollars in losses. They focused on standardizing the industry: they educated pipeline companies and contractors about the benefits of having a plan applied coating and how much better it could protect their investment. Due to NAPCA’s dedication to ensuring premium quality and their approach to training, their employees are always in alignment with all the policies and procedures that prevent safety and quality issues.
Being a member of NAPCA gives you an advantage, whether you are a company or candidate. Relationships have always been important in every industry, but the current pandemic has revealed to organizations the importance of prioritizing them, both internally and externally. NAPCA has been ahead of the game in this regard for decades.

We asked Rachael to walk us through the Colonial Pipeline case from last year and the lessons learned, her tips for what we should focus on with regards to cyber security controls in 2022 and Rachel tells us about a risk that she took earlier in her career that paid off.

This week, Matt and Tom take up two recent academic papers which every compliance practitioner should study as they provide insight about how communications can impact both fraud prevention and compliance.
