Continuing to subscribe to this Basic Level membership will help you expand your basic conceptual understanding of the PAR concepts. Expanding this understanding is very important to help you prepare for upgrading your membership to the Intermediate Level.

Consistency & repetition of concepts & examples are the keys to advancing your knowledge about the PAR concepts.

Learning a PAR Tip of the Quarter will help you slowly understand what, how, when, why & where the elements of the PAR concepts are important to managing your facility or plant.

Learning a PAR Definition of the Quarter will help you develop your PAR vocabulary, so you can talk the talk & teach others to talk the talk. This will help develop communication between you & your peers regarding the PAR concepts in your facility or plant.


Learning a PAR Customer or Industry Focus of the Quarter will help you understand why some PAR problems are more important to some Customers Sectors & some Industry Types than others. Not every Customers Sector & Industry Type has the same concern & level of concerns among the different PAR problems that can occur various facilities & plants.


Learning about a PAR Mitigation Technology of the Quarter will help you develop your understanding of why various mitigation technologies were developed & how they work. Not only will you understand why they were developed & how they work, but you will also learn how each one can work together to solve & prevent PAR problems (or against each other to make some of the PAR problems worse).


Learning about a PAR Standard will help you learn why standards were developed, how to read them, how to apply them, how to teach their concepts & even how to get involved in developing them (if you’re interested).


Reading a Summary Case Study will provide you with an oversight of what problem(s) developed in a specific Customer Sector or Industry Type, why they developed & how they impacted the Customer Sector or Industry Type. If you’re in a similar Customer Sector or Industry Type, you’ll see the correlation between previous problems & why it’s important for you to take action to address your problem(s).
