FOREWORD

The Oil Industry in India is 100 years old. Because of various collaboration agreements, a variety of international codes, standards and practices have been in vogue. Standardisation in design philosophies and operating and maintenance practices at a national level was hardly in existence. This coupled with feed back from some serious accidents that occurred in the recent past in India and abroad, emphasised the need for the industry to review the existing state of art in designing, operating and maintaining oil and gas installations. With this in view, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas in 1986 constituted a Safety Council assisted by the Oil Industry Safety Directorate (OISD) staffed from within the industry in formulating and implementing a series of self regulatory measures aimed at removing obsolescence, standardiising and upgrading the existing standards to ensure safe operations. Accordingly, OISD constituted a number of functional committees of experts nominated from the industry to draw up standards and guidelines on various subjects. The present standard on Safety Health & Environment Training for Exploration & Production (Upstream) Personnel was prepared by the Functional Committee on Safety Health & Environment Training for Exploration & Production (Upstream) Personnel. This document is based on the accumulated knowledge and experience of industry members and the various national and international codes and practices. This standard is meant to be used as supplement and not as replacement for existing codes and practices. It is hoped that provisions of this standard if implemented objectively, may go a long way to improve the safety health & environment and reduce accidents in Oil and Gas Industry (Upstream)). Users are cautioned that no standard can be a substitute for the judgement of responsible and experienced engineer. Suggestions are invited from the users after it is put into practice to improve the document further. Suggestions for amendments to this document should be addressed to the Coordinator, Committee on Safety Health & Environment Training for Exploration & Production (Upstream) Personnel, Oil Industry Safety Directorate, 7th Floor, New Delhi House, 27, Barakhamba Road, New Delhi - 110 001. This standard in no way supercedes the statutory requirements of bodies like DGMS,IBR. CCE, Factory Inspectorate or any other Government Body which must be followed as applicable.

INTRODUCTION 3.0 Training Needs

Oil and gas operations like Drilling, Production, Refining, Transportation and Distribution are hazardous. Therefore, safety education and training receives great attention in the Oil Industry. A variety of training courses are conducted by the Oil Companies intended to develop the skills, know-how and safety consciousness of employees. This document attempts to standardise the minimum safety inputs, which should be included in the Safety, Health, Environment (SHE) Exploration & Production (E&P) Training for Personnel. It is however recognised that there could be areas of training other than those identified in this document, where the need to specify minimum safety inputs would also arise. This document provides a basic framework for development of suitable training programmes. Compliance with the requirements given in this document shall go a long way in ensuring safe operations of the installations in the upstream oil industry.

The training needs must be identified suitably at every work centre for the individuals & documented and informed to the concerned training centres. 4.0 TRAINING TECHNIQUES

Appropriate training techniques on the following basis should be selected and used in order to attain the objectives of the various training courses outlined in this document: The techniques and their application are given below: i) Demonstration: The right way to do a job shall invariably be demonstrated to the trainees in the first place. The right way is also the safe way. Hazards due to wrong procedures, short cuts and their adverse effects etc. should also be highlighted. ii) Coaching: This technique should be used to develop individual skills, knowledge and attitude of the participants. This technique is most effective when a one-to-one relationship exists between the trainer and trainee and progressively less effective as it increases to one-to-two, three etc. iii) Do-it-Yourself Training: When the situation demands that the trainee needs to learn himself and gain confidence while doing the job, this technique should be used. The trainer should monitor the performance & provide help as & when necessary. iv) Lecture: This technique should be applied when it is required to transfer information to

SCOPE

The scope of this document covers the SHE aspects of Exploration activities. Functional training requirements intended to develop the skills for performance of jobs in the respective areas are excluded. Guidelines on preparation and execution of typical training programmes use of appropriate training techniques and evaluation of the effectiveness of training programmes are discussed. This document is in no way supersedes the training requirements, stipulated by statutory bodies like the Directorate General of Shipping, International Maritime Organisation or any other government authorities.

an audience with controlled content and time, using audio / visual aids. v) Case Study: This is an effective technique based on the presentation of the case of real events by Trainer / Trainee to highlight the relevant details of the subject matter. vi) Simulation:

evoke correct and prompt response in any emergency situation. The objective of the course will be that on completion of the course, the trainee should be able to: recognise hazardous condition at his place of work; Environment protection/preservation perform his job in accordance with the safe operating procedure; help rectify an unsafe condition; escape safely in case of release of toxic gases / emergency evacuation. operate fire fighting equipment etc. The more accurately and clearly the objective specifies a training outcome, the more helpful it will be to the Course Directors and Faculties in designing their programmes. The objective to the programmes should be written down and communicated to the participants in the beginning.

This technique should be used to explain the subject matter with the simulators / using simulated condition close to the real life situation. vii) Virtual Learning: This technique should be encouraged for self-learning through internet / intranet etc. 5.0 COURSE DIRECTOR & FACULTY Faculty shall use the guidelines provided in this Section in preparation and execution of SHE training courses for exploration personnel whether separately or as part of functional training programmes. 5.1 GUIDELINES FOR COURSE DIRECTOR i) Course Objective:

ii)

Target Group:

Section 6.0 of this document shall be referred for the course objectives. The course objective should clearly and explicitly identify the outcomes of a training programme, is expected to produce. For example, the aim of basic SHE related course is to: provide good understanding and identification of the hazards associated with the job including occupational hazards. provide clear understanding of the safe way to perform the job & preventive measures.

The courses mentioned in this document are intended for different groups of persons. In a target group, the academic background, proficiency in language likely to be used in a course and levels of comprehension of subjects to be discussed may vary. Therefore, while inviting participants to a course, it should be clearly stated what is the expected level of knowledge / experience that one should have before he can derive full advantage of the intended course. If the participants in a group are more or less at the same mental level of comprehension, then it is easier to select the training technique (See Section 3.0) that would be most useful for that target group. iii) Climate Setting:

Effective learning requires setting a climate in a training situation that is conducive to learning. The following factors which help create such climate, should be considered: Persons are more open to learning if, they are encouraged for better interaction and are not embarrassed or ridiculed. Participation in group exercises where trainees see themselves as mutual helpers rather than rivals. Mutual trust and friendliness between trainees and faculty. Care of human needs such as peaceful & conducive environment, comfortable seats, adequate breaks between training sessions, proper lighting and ventilation.

Target group (intended for) Time available Feedback from earlier programmes Sequence and structuring of training material Pre & Post evaluation Training/Lecture notes Well written notes are useful training materials and should be made available for ensuring easier learning by the trainees. Since a substantial portion of the courses are to be covered in class rooms, it is very essential that training notes are carefully prepared. A training note should primarily comprise of three sections as follows: Introduction : Get the trainees ready to learn & previews what is to be learnt. Explanation : Presents the information to be learnt, including examples and practices Summary : Reviews the information taught, and helps trainees remember and apply it. The following matters should be considered while preparing a training note: a) Introduction Section:

ii)

iv)

Course Design

The course design should include following factors: a) b) c) d) e) Programme layout Selection of faculty Arranging course material / training aids Selection of training techniques (for details see Section 4.0) Field Visits: In case of new entrants, safety devices & procedures should be explained at site also. Adequate time for field visits should be allotted. Field visits during refresher course may also be arranged wherever necessary. Evaluation methodology (for details see Section 7.0) GUIDELINES FOR FACULTY: i) Essential Factors: The faculty should take into consideration following factors while preparing and presenting a topic: 3 Course objective Introduction of trainer & trainees b)

f)

5.2

Tell the trainee how the content will help him Cite authors, research or industry practice on which the notes are based. This is to establish credibility. State the objectives in terms of skills, know-how the trainees will gain. State how the information being taught is related to what trainees already know. Present the information to be learnt in brief. Explanation Section:

Divide the total information into groups, each with a heading. Research shows that trainees can perceive not more than seven pieces of information at one time. Only the information that one needs to know, as related to the training objectives, should be included in the notes. Trainees must not be burdened with unnecessary information. Combine text with illustrations, diagrams, photographs, audio / visual etc. Give examples, typical instances of the concepts being taught. Use tables, charts, highlight key points, provide double space between typed lines that help rapid scanning, reading & retrieval. Provide exercises or questions at the end for practice. Include feedback to indicate whether the response to the exercise was correct or not. Summary Section:

This section specifies the minimum SHE inputs to be included in SHE training course, for various categories of employees in selected areas through individual Course Modules. Hazardous / high risk operation should be specifically highlighted indicating the risks involved and precautions to be undertaken. The following points shall also be kept in view: i) SHE Officer / Fire Officers Training: It is likely that a new incumbent may not have been exposed to the type of SHE training prescribed in this standard before taking up his assignment. It shall therefore be ensured that such persons are also exposed to the relevant training programmes. ii) Refresher Courses: Organisations themselves should decide how often the refresher courses should be held but the periodicity of a refresher should not be later than three years. Drilling Courses - 101 Production Courses- 201 Drilling &Production Courses - 301 Fire fighting Courses- 401 Other SHE Courses - 501

iii)

Give a summary of the information, but in a slightly different way. Highlight the key points. Give a job-aid / checklist / references of documents that can be used by trainees back on the job. 6.1 Group discussions Group exercise should be included / designed based on the course contents and group presentations should be encouraged. 6.1.1

EVALUATION OF SHE TRAINING PROGRAMMES

The evaluation of SHE training programmes in terms of their overall effectiveness towards attainment of course objectives and changes necessary for improvement, should be based on the criteria and techniques explained in this section. 7.1 BASIC CRITERIA

The impact of the training programmes on the performance standards of the organisation and attainment of tangible results with respect to SHE should be evaluated.

7.2 i)

TECHNIQUES Participants Reaction

The following basic criteria should be adopted for evaluation of any training programme: i) Participants reactionParticipants reaction should be obtained in respect of the course content, training methods/ techniques used by the faculty, quality of course material etc. ii) Change in participants learning. It should be ascertained whether participants learning in terms of knowledge and skills in specific areas or activities e.g. safe operatingand maintenance procedures,fire prevention and control, etc. have improved after the training.

Typical course review / participant reaction forms for evaluating training courses are given in Annexure I to III which should be filled in by each participant at the end of training programmes and the trainer or course director should make desirable changes / modifications in the content, instructional techniques, etc. as required. In addition, the training department of the organisation should also design a pre & post training follow-up questionnaire and obtain feed back about onthe-job application of knowledge and skills imparted. The questionnaire should be filled in by the participants immediately & at the end of programme and about three months after the programme. It is recommended that participants reactions be kept anonymous to obtain honest reactions. After attending the training course, the trainee should submit a brief to the controlling officer about skills /knowhow obtained. ii) Change in Participants Learning

iii)

Change in Participants attitude

It should be checked in what ways and to what degree / extent the attitude of the participants (Values or beliefs) have been influenced by the training programme. An evaluation of their behaviour on the job is 17

The following guidelines should be used in assessing the extent of learning:

a)

The learning of each participant should be assessed through tests so that quantitative results are obtained. A before-and-after approach should be used so that any change in learning can be related to the training programme. The performance of the trained group should be compared with that of a control group comprising of persons not exposed to such training programmes. The results obtained from these assessments should be analysed statistically so that learning can be evaluated in terms of level of competence achieved. Change in Participants Attitudes The following guidelines should be used in evaluating the training programmes in terms of behavioural changes:

4)

b)

The persons peers or other people thoroughly familiar with his or her performance. The evaluation should be taken up three months after the training programme, which is considered a reasonable period to reflect the behavioural changes. Change in Job Performance

c)

iv)

The following general approaches are recommended for obtaining data about job performance and training effectiveness: a) Direct assessment of the individuals job performance by the immediate superior. Comparative assessment of trained and non-trained persons by the Line management. Evaluation by those with whom the individual works.

d)

b)

iii)

c)

The technique of Objective test including rating scales, disguised information quizzes, questionnaires, etc. should be used. Guidelines for preparing objective tests are given in Annexure V. In addition, interviews, projective techniques and behavioural observations are also recommended. A statistical analysis should be made to compare the performance before and after, to relate the changes to the training programme. A control group should be used for this purpose.

The following key factors should be assessed: whether the person performs his job the right way (as per safe procedures) at all times. whether the person responds correctly during emergency drill / exercises consistently. The assessment should be included in the Training record of the employee. Performance of Faculty

v) Typical format for evaluation is given in Annexure VI. This evaluation should be made by one or more of the following groups (the more the better): 1) The person receiving the training (This appraisal may be called selfassessment), The persons superior or superiors; The persons subordinates;

It is recommended that participants reaction together with Course Directors assessment of each faculty should be taken into consideration for evaluation performance of the faculty. Typical Faculty Rating Sheet is given in Annexure-Iv for the use of Course Director.

2) 3)

vi)

Attainment of SHE Objectives

The impact of training programmes should be evaluated in terms of overall Safety

18

Objectives achieved, some of which are listed below: Increased safety awareness; Reduction in accidents (both minor and lost time accidents). Reduction in number of nearmisses,fires / explosions Reduction in release / leakage of hazardous materials Faster and correct response during emergencies Increased reliability of safety systems of main equipment and facilities Overall improvement in housekeeping and efficiency of the installation. Enhanced awareness towards Environment Protection & Occupational Health.

therefore, should be maintained in respect of every employee indicating the types and the period of training programmes attended, performance evaluation (Ref. Clause 6.1 iv and the need for future training).

ANNEXURE-V GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING OBJECTIVE TESTS


1. 2. Use objective items e.g. Multiple-choice or True-False rather than essay questions. Use items that are important in terms of the knowledge the participant should have. Again items should reflect specific learning objectives. Items should get at the participants understanding of material not just rote memory. Keep the reading level relatively simple so that the participants scores reflect their knowledge of the subject rather than their level of reading comprehension. Make sure that there is only one correct answer in a True False or Multiple-choice item. Use a random patern of correct answers: that is, do not have a set patern of correct answers (e.g. Five True items followed by five False ones). Vary the items in difficulty a few relatively simple, a few fairly difficult with most somewhere in between. Keep the items discrete: the answer to one item should not signal the answer to another, nor should answering one item correctly be contingent upon answering a previous one. Beware of giving clues to the correct answer. In a multiple-choice item, for instance, do not give away the correct answer by making it clearly longer or shorter than the other alternatives. Make responding to the items as simple as possible. Keep in mind that you are trying to measure the individuals knowledge of the subject and not the ability to follow complex directions.
