1.0 Introduction

1.1 Purpose and ObjectivesPDO needs to ensure all those working for it are properly trained. HSE training provides sufficient HSE knowledge and understanding, at an awareness level, of the common workplace hazards, risks and controls to keep people safe at work. This specification document sets out the essential criteria that the HSE courses and HSE performance assessments must be designed to meet, the people that need to attend them, when, and the specific minimum performance that is required of them.

1.2 Scope and ApplicabilityPDO’s HSE Training courses and assessments may only be delivered in Company Approved HSE Training Institutes or by PDO contracting companies Approved to deliver some or all of PDO’s HSE courses and assessments in-house. All those organisations Approved by PDO to do so are known as Approved Training Providers (ATPs). The training and assessments may be conducted at other locations by ATPs that meet the requirements for temporary teaching spaces. Training may be delivered at the coast, or in the interior within the concession area. All HSE courses specify the target population, whether company or contractor staff.

1.3 Review and ImprovementThis whole specification document will be reviewed at least every 4 years to ensure it continues to meet company HSE training and performance assessment needs.

Reviews of individual course and performance assessment specifications will be carried out annually, jointly by:

Company’s HSE Training Services Contractor (HSE TSC),

Nominated Technical Authorities (TAs),

Their Corporate Function Discipline Head (CFDH).

The individual reviews will be co-ordinated by the Corporate Adviser on HSE Training and Competence (HLD8).

Any amendment thought necessary will be:

Specified by the appropriate TA,

Prepared and designed by the HSE TSC,

Approved by the appropriate TA,

Translated by the HSE TSC

Inserted as an amendment to the Specifications document by HLD8.

If more than 25% of the courses require amendment to their specifications after an annual review, the entire document will be reviewed at that time.




1.4 Distribution

The following groups will be advised by email of any revision to this document, either directly or through their contract holder. An electronic link to the revised document will be included in the advisory email to enable viewing or download.

All other PDO staff will be advised of revisions to the document via a News List announcement using the Company’s intranet. The notice will include an electronic link to the revised document for viewing or download.

2.0 Compliance Requirements

2.1 GeneralThe principles applied to the provision of HSE training and performance assessment are:

to fulfill the Company’s legal and HSE Management System obligations towards the people working for it with respect to hazards and risks that are commonly found at work,

to provide sufficient awareness level knowledge, understanding and basic skills concerning Company hazard and risk controls that will enable the people that work for it to stay safe at work,

through a post-training and scheduled HSE performance assessment system, assure that the minimum HSE performance standards are being maintained by people working for the Company, and

to offer HSE professional HSE qualification development opportunities to Company staff that require them as part of their professional development within the Company.




2.2 Attendance ClassificationEach course, recertification or reassessment is given one of three attendance classifications – Compulsory, Mandatory or Recommended.

Compulsory means – must be attended before being deployed to carry out the designated role, i.e. immediately.

Mandatory means – must be attended within a maximum of 2 months of being given the designated role or responsibility for a specific task related activity.

Recommended means – a highly desirable event for the target population that develops their professional HSE capability, and offers potential organisational benefit.

2.3 Course LevelsHSE courses and assessments are listed in groups - Levels 1, 2 and 3. The levels reflect the expected learning capability of the people that need to attend (target population) and the general nature and pace of delivery.

Each individual course, re-certification or reassessment has a specification that describes:

Course, Recertification or Reassessent Title and Code, Aim and Objectives

The attendance classification (i.e. Compulsory, Mandatory or Recommended)

Essential syllabus components

Duration (actual training or assessment hours)

Maximum recertification / reassessment interval (years)

Delivery language(s)

Target population,

Minimum and maximum delegate numbers

Course attendance pre-requisites

Minimum performance criteria

The PDO HSE Management System documents that relate to the course.

2.4 Course Delegate categoriesThe people attending courses or assessment events are referred to as delegates.

Delegates fall into one of four categories for HSE training purposes, non-supervisory, supervisory, management or Executive.

Executive delegates are those who ‘are members of the organisation’s most senior management team or a nominated executive’s deputy who, when deputising, has full executive authority’.

Managers are those who ‘supervise the work of at least one other supervisor or manager’.

Supervisors are those who ‘supervise the work of at least one other person’.

Non-supervisory staff are those whose role does not include any of the above.




A person’s training delegate category may be different to that suggested by their actual job title.

Example 1: An office administrator is given responsibility for Safe Journey Management as part of his job. SJM involves the supervision of others (drivers) at work. The administrator is categorized as a Supervisor, for HSE training purposes.

Example 2: A charge-hand in a construction operation, co-ordinates the work of a team of construction workers on site. The charge-hand is categorized as a Supervisor, for HSE training purposes.

Example 3: A General Manager is given responsibility to act as CEO, in the CEO’s absence from the Company. Both the CEO and the General Manager are categorized as ‘Executives’ for HSE training purposes.

Example 4: An office-based project co-ordinator directs, controls and receives regular reports from the site manager, the site project manager and the site supervisors. The office-based project co-ordinator is categorized as a ‘Manager’ for HSE training purposes.

2.5 ‘Core’ HSE Learning Ladders 2.5.1 The appropriate post-training ‘Core’ HSE Learning Ladder course assessments are Compulsory

for newly hired staff, and all must achieve the stated minimum assessed performance before their deployment to the workplace.

2.5.2 The procedure for selecting the appropriate courses is set out in PR 2010 Part I - HSE Training Selection and Compliance Monitoring.

2.5.3 Whenever equivalent prior training can be claimed, staff should select performance assessment only, although assessment has traditionally only occurred after attendance on a training course. The procedure for submitting delegates directly for performance assessment against claimed equivalent prior training is contained in Document PR 2010 Part I – HSE Training selection, and compliance monitoring.

2.5.4 Two ‘Core’ HSE Learning Ladders exist – one for non-supervisory staff, and the other for all staff who have a supervisory, management or executive role. The ‘Core’ HSE Learning Ladder Course Codes are listed in Table 1 below and each ‘Core’ HSE Learning Ladder is shown in a simple flow chart on page 14.

2.5.4 ‘Core’ HSE courses and their assessments are designed to produce performance, initially at ‘Awareness’ level in PDO’s HSE competence matrix.

2.5.5 Other HSE courses may address some or all elements at higher levels in PDO’s HSE competence matrix (i.e. Knowledge Level and/or Skill Level).

Level 1 and 2 HSE coursesA suite of HSE courses and recertification or reassessment events are provided to address specific activity related to hazards, risks and controls. These events are provided to align with Company’s HSE MS, Procedures and Specifications requirements associated with specific activity types. They add to the HSE development of the delegate. Nomination for, and attendance on them is role related.

Professional Qualifications (Level 3) HSE courses & programsThese courses are externally accredited, more lengthy courses, requiring either formal examination of the delegate or comprehensive evidence production that is assessed. The courses lead to Internationally recognised professional qualifications associated with HSE. These courses form part of the HSE development learning ladders for specific groups of Company staff, and for PDO Approved HSE Training staff.




Time-scheduled re-assessment or re-certificationRe-assessment of the minimum required performance related to a specific HSE course will be conducted at a PDO Approved Training Provider’s (ATP’s) Assessment Centre at or before the specified re-certification or re-assessment interval. The Company’s HSE Training Services Contractor shall conduct all assessments on PDO staff other than the workplace assessments conducted 3 months after Core HSE Training. Any PDO Approved Training & Assessment Provider (ATP) may conduct any of the assessments for Contractor staff, other than the workplace assessments conducted 3 months after Core HSE Training .

2.5.6 All ATP and workplace based Core HSE assessments within the Company and contracting companies will be externally verified on a regular basis by Company-led HSE Training Quality Assurance staff to ensure all assessments being are conducted and recorded appropriately.
