5 INTRODUCTION and COURSE DESCRIPTION New starts or green hands to the offshore drilling industry not only face the challenges of getting to know a new job, but they are entering a unique lifestyle with rotations away from family and friends. Hazards are expected in the oil and gas drilling industry and must be controlled. Improvements in drilling technology and oil rig operations have led to a reduction in injuries, but safety is always the top priority. Green hands will find that a significant portion of time offshore is spent planning the work and assessing ways to perform tasks safely. The prepares new starts for work in the offshore oil and gas industry. Types of drilling equipment, features of the lifestyle and promotional pathways are a few of the introductory topics that will be covered in the training. Specific hazards in manual handling, chemical handling and working at height will be discussed along with risk assessment and controls for reducing hazardous operations. In addition, helicopter and helideck safety will be presented - an important understanding for new entrants as the majority of travel to and from offshore will be by air. Making a success of an offshore career is up to the individual. A positive attitude, good work ethic, ability to get along with others and cooperating within teams will see green hands through the early days of working in this challenging industry. The Offshore Drilling Industry Green Hand Training Standard will provide them with the essential underpinning knowledge and skills so their time on-board is safe and enjoyable. Revision 1 (13-Mar 2014) Page 5 of 30

6 SECTION A INITIAL TRAINING PROGRAMME A.1 Target Group The Offshore Drilling Industry Green Hand training is designed to introduce the offshore drilling industry to new entrants. The training and assessment programme will provide an overview of the operations, lifestyle, hazards and safety practices which might be encountered by new personnel offshore. A module on manual handling, COSHH and working at height will also give a detailed introduction to these topics for newcomers. The following modules are included: Module 1 Module 2 Module 3 Module 4 Module 5 Introduction to drilling operations Working safely Manual handling, COSHH & Working at height Helicopter & helideck safety Banksman and Slinger Training Stage 1 (separate OPITO standard and certificate)* Module 5 The Banksman and Slinger Training course content is detailed in a separate OPITO approved standard. This course can be completed: A. At the same time as the Green Hand training or B. Separately, within six months, at an OPITO approved training establishment An Offshore Drilling Industry Green Hand with Banksman & Slinger certificate (with the individual units listed) will be issued once all five modules have been achieved. Revision 1 (13-Mar 2014) Page 6 of 30

7 A.2 Delegate Pre-requisites If taking Modules 1-4 and Module 5 SEPARATELY (i.e. no more than six months has elapsed or if the course is to be taken at separate training providers) delegates must have an OPITO Banksman & Slinger Stage 1 Certificate before participating in the Green Hand modules. (See certification diagram on page 27). Important note for training establishments: If the five modules are taken sequentially within a short period (5 to 10 days) at ONE training provider, then some rearrangement of the modules, topics and the indoor/outdoor activities is allowed to avoid repetition and to make the best use of weather conditions. In this case only, the Banksman & Slinger Training Stage 1 is not a prerequisite for the Green Hand modules. (See certification diagram on page 27) Revision 1 (13-Mar 2014) Page 7 of 30

8 A.3 Physical and Stressful Demands of the Course Training activities contained within this Standard may include physically demanding and potentially stressful elements. All personnel who participate in such activities must be physically and mentally capable of participating fully. Therefore OPITO-approved training centres are required, as a minimum, to ensure that prior to participating in practical exercises, the delegate must either: a) Possess a valid, current offshore medical certificate or b) Possess an operator approved medical certificate, or c) Undergo medical screening by completing an appropriate medical screening form provided by the OPITO-approved centre (a list of medical conditions which could be included in a medical screening form is available on the OPITO website). The OPITO-approved Centre shall keep a record of the delegate s/candidate s declaration of fitness in accordance with their document control policy(s) or procedures. This information, along with summary details of the type of physical activities the delegate/candidate will be asked to perform, will be given to delegates/candidates by the OPITO-approved Centre and, if applicable, to their sponsoring company as part of the joining instructions. The responsibility for declaring any current or pre-existing medical conditions that could have adverse effects to the individual s state of health while undertaking the training and/or assessment activities lies with the delegate/candidate and/or company sponsoring the delegate. Where doubt exists regarding the fitness of any delegate/candidate, the OPITO-approved Centre should direct the individual to consult a medical officer familiar with the nature and extent of the training. Note: Practical exercises should be designed and delivered solely to meet this standard, and must not place on the delegates any physical or mental demands other than those required to meet the Standard.
