Government Relations

SMRP is a leading advocate for the development of a skilled workforce and for safe, modern workplaces in the maintenance, reliability and physical asset management industry.

SMRP is the voice of the maintenance, reliability, and physical asset management profession at the congressional and federal regulatory level. As a result, SMRP engages in regular outreach and relationship building with key policymakers on Capitol Hill and in the regulatory agencies to discuss our public policy priorities.

Nearly every industry sector requires the services of maintenance, reliability, and physical asset management personnel, including energy, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, automotive, government and military, petrochemical, education, and commercial.

SMRP and our members are subject matter experts willing to testify at congressional and regulatory hearings. When needed, we submit comments in response to proposed regulations, standards, and guidelines. SMRP works with congressional offices and congressional committees to draft and advance legislation.
