An HSE training program designed to develop technical and line management operations staff (Field or Engineering employee) on specific topics necessary for corporate risk control and employee professional development.

Description of courses (each course is a stand-alone without prerequisites):

• Oil spill response & control is a classroom study of the prevention, preparedness and response to spills.
• Human error management gives degreed Engineers insight into the soft skills of managing people.
• HAZOP/HAZID and SIL teaches technical staff the methods of hazard analysis using HAZOP & HAZID and an introduction to safety integrity level determination.
• Root cause analysis is a practical classroom coverage of investigation and root causation methodology. It is designed to make engineers/managers competent to direct an effective post incident investigation to root cause.
• Drilling project & risk management course is designed so participants will better understand how to identify, quantify, and manage risk in the oil & gas drilling industry.
• Emergency and crisis management in the offshore oil & gas environment is an extended case study of the macondo/deepwater horizon incident of 2010. It explores the barriers to a major incident and how to assure the barriers remain intact on similar wellsite operations, especially offshore. It makes extensive use of workshops and team-based efforts.

An HSE training program designed to develop internal HSE staff. This program assumes no existing HSE-technical credentials. In cases of prior experience, the lower level courses can be skipped. In cases of a group of HSE staff to be trained together, the delegates can take the classes sequentially as a group. In the case of a single HSE person to be developed in the shortest timeframe, this program has been administered in a one-on-one mentoring format for up to 30 days.

Description of courses (each course is a stand-alone without prerequisites):

This package mirrors the above general employee/newcomer group. For HSE staff it is not only important that they know this content, but also that they know what the general population is taught.

• Newcomer employee workplace safety is designed for all new-hires, office or field.
• Advanced driving skills assumes an employee can already drive a vehicle and it teaches advanced accident prevention techniques. This addresses the top cause of fatality in most oil and gas sector companies.
  • Course involves both classroom and in-vehicle training
• Stepping, handling & lifting techniques addresses the top cause of non-fatal lost time injuries in the oil & gas sector.
  • Office version teaches workstation ergonomics
  • Field version addresses the typical workshop / wellsite activities and hazards
• HSE for front-line supervisors in oil & gas exploration & production is the course that teaches the fundamentals of HSE supervision at a worksite. Taking this course allows HSE staff to be able to observe HSE management behaviors among supervisory staff and give feedback and coaching to them.
• QHSE for line managers teaches the next level of leadership and accountability for HSE management. Again, the value to HSE professionals is that they learn the content and are thus able to observe and intervene with line managers on HSE issues.

An HSE training program designed to allow a company to implement a proven remedy for the stepping, handling & lifting (slips, trips & falls plus general personal injury) category of accidents. This category typically produces the most number of non-fatal lost-workday cases in oil & gas. This program requires no prerequisites and assumes no specific expertise on the part of the delegates/trainees beyond general practical experience in their job roles. This progression can be implemented using NExT Instructors initially, and as the value of the program is recognized, internal staff can be trained to self-sustain the program.

Description of course sequence:

In the case of an internally recruited HSE specialist, he or she would complete the HSE specialist program before commencing these professional courses.

• Field version stepping, handling & lifting techniques addresses the top cause of non-fatal lost time injuries in the oil & gas sector.
• Office version stepping, handling & lifting techniques addresses the top cause of non-fatal lost time injuries in the oil & gas sector.
• Commentary task coach school: A commentary task assessment is a formal behavioral observation / intervention exercise in which someone trained in the stepping, handling & lifting techniques, is evaluated on their use of these techniques by a trained observer/coach.
• Stepping, handling, & lifting techniques instructor: Implemented in companies that want to teach the field & office versions above.
• Master trainer: Implemented in companies that want to be able to completely self-sustain a stepping, handling & lifting program.
