suitability.

2.2 Planning

2.2.1 Determining HSE & DDC Training Needs

All PDO Departmental and Contractor HSE Management Plans shall include HSE-SD and DDC

Training Programs that address the HSE-SD and DDC training needs of all incumbent

personnel, as specified in this document.

PDO staff will utilize Personal Development Plans, HSE Learning Ladders and Professional Profiling sections of SAPpHIRE to establish and monitor individual‘s HSE-SD & DDC training

needs.

Contract Holders should use this Specification in conjunction with PR 1171 Contract HSE

Management, to develop the specific HSE training requirements of each Contract. This information shall be included in the Contract HSE Specification (C-9) and used to assess the

Contractor's HSE Management Plan (see PR 1171 Contract HSE Management Part II).

Contractors will develop a simple matrix listing individuals along one axis, and HSE-SD and

DDC Training Courses along the other axis and cells within the matrix detailing each individual‘s training required, not required, or completed. This presents a clear overview of

the application of and compliance with the training requirements in this document to the Contract.

For each identified training requirement, records should be maintained detailing if and when the required course was completed, if and when refresher recertification training and or

competence assessment is due and when outstanding training will be completed.

To assist the development of an HSE-SD and DDC Training Programs, Table 2 shows the core HSE Learning Ladders and HSE courses forming them. Table 2 3 summarises the

'Planning Information' of each HSE-SD and DDC Training Course Specification. Table 4

shows the conversion of courses as they have developed since 2002.

For Contractors, guidance on the structure and content of Contract HSE Management Plans, including HSE-SD and DDC training can be found in PR 1171 Contract HSE Management, Part

II Section 3.

Core HSE Learning Ladders (Table 2) are being introduced that require specific HSE courses

to be attended by all new hires, in a progressive order, unless exemption, de-selection or step-out has been agreed. Only these HSE courses may be attended in the 1st 3 months of

employment. For PDO staff these courses will be included in the training catalogue accessible

through SAPpHiRe and staff could use this catalogue to include this training in their respective PDPs.

Planning of Defensive Driving Courses

Defensive Driving Course bookings should be made as early as possible. However, it may not

be possible to obtain a booking that occurs in the correct sequence with other courses in the

core HSE Learning Ladder course progression. It is therefore permissible for the Defensive Driving course(s) to be attended after the HSE-SD courses on the core HSE Learning Ladder

have been attended.

Page 18: HSE Training Framework

HSE – SPECIFICATION

SP-1157 REVISION 67.0 Page 10

In this circumstance, the staff member to be trained must not drive at work, until he has

obtained the appropriate Defensive Driving permit(s).

The DD courses and permit(s) are not a pre-requisite for any other course type on the core HSE Learning Ladder, and progress up the progression ladder is therefore unaffected by a

delay in a DD course booking and attendance.

HSE Training Courses other than those on the core HSE Learning Ladder

Confirmation of the delegate‘s achievement of core HSE assessment in the workplace will be

required from the nominating supervisor by ATPs at the time of booking further HSE training. Course bookings for contractor staff will be made in the same way as before. PDO staff will

continue to book HSE courses using existing systems available from PDO‘s Intranet. H2S course bookings will continue to be made using Insight Browser.

2.2.2 Target Populations

Each HSE-SD and DDC Course Specification defines the categories of personnel required to attend HSE-SD and DDC training as the target population. For planning purposes these are

summarised in Table 23. The personnel specified constitute the minimum population required to attend, however, the relevant Directorate, Department or Contract Holder may add

additional personnel where considered appropriate.

Where individuals have having extensive experience in the E&P industry can demonstrate

equivalent HSE-SD and DDC training related to this experience, then further training exposure may be unnecessary. In such situations their Supervisor may decide to apply for a

Refresher Recertification Assessment to determine the individual‘s competence in a specific

activity.

2.2.3 Exemptions

There may be circumstances when compliance with training and or refresher assessment of competence requirements is inappropriate or unnecessary. In such circumstances, an Step

Out exemption variation from HSE-SD and/or DDC training requirements may be requested from MSE-M with each case being decided on its individual merits.

Supervisors who can fully justify a member of staff, by virtue of job role, not attending a particular course on the HSE Learning Ladder, may apply for an individual‘s de-

selection. In the case of contractors, this should be through their contract holder. In the case of contractors, this should be through their contract holder. For applications on behalf

of PDO staff, the supervisor should consult with the HLD8 team. The de-selection decision

only applies to applications on behalf of new hires.

Step Outs to permit additional HSE course training within 3 months.

Supervisors who can fully justify the need for a particular individual, by virtue of job

role, to attend an HSE course additional to those on the HSE Learning Ladder, but within 3

months of employment, may apply for a Step-Out. In the case of contractors, this should be through their contract holder. For applications on behalf of PDO staff, the supervisor

should consult with the HLD8 team.

Page 19: HSE Training Framework

HSE – SPECIFICATION

SP-1157 REVISION 67.0 Page 11

De-selection from core HSE training on the basis of existing and equivalent

competency

Supervisors who assess a new hire to have existing and equivalent knowledge, understanding and skills in any or all areas of core HSE competency, may recommend the

individual for competency assessment only. In this case, the individual must apply to an ATP to carry out the assessment.

Individuals who meet the competency standard on assessment, will not be required to attend the relevant core HSE training course.

Page 20: HSE Training Framework

HSE – SPECIFICATION

SP-1157 REVISION 67.0 Page 12

2.2.4 Fitness for Training

All staff attending HSE-SD and DDC training should be medically fit as specified in SP 1230.

In addition, some courses involve practical elements which require appropriate levels of physical fitness. Supervisors nominating staff for any course should ensure that the nominee

is medically and physically fit and if in doubt, refer the nominee to an approved medical practitioner.

Supervisors should assess and manage the risks associated with people attending training courses, and or refresher training or recertification assessment, and ensuringe that the risks

posed by people having to travel driving long distances and or attending training after working a night shift or long hours without rest, are minimised.

2.3 HSE Training Service Providers

2.3.1 Company Staff

All PDO staff HSE-SD & DDC training requirements as specified in this document must be

satisfied through completion of courses delivered under contracts with PDO Approved Training Providers. PDO staff must not use any training provider other than those approved

by PDO and listed on the PDO HSE-SD & DDC Training web pages.

http://sww1.pdo.shell.om/dept/cd/csm/blocks/training/train.html

2.3.2 Contractor Personnel

Contractors may attend HSE-SD & DDC training courses supplied by any PDO Approved

Training Providerroviders, as long as the training provider is approved by PDO for the HSE-SD & DDC courses sought. The list of PDO Approved Training Providers is available on the

PDO HSE-SD & DDC Training web pages.

Contracting companies approved by PDO to deliver specific PDO HSE-SD programs to its own

staff in-house, are specifically prohibited from delivering this training to any other category of person.

http://www.pdo.co.om/hseforcontractors/blocks/training/train.html

2.4 Training Delivery

2.4.1 HSE Training Schedules

PDO‘s training schedules for approved HSE-SD and DDC training can be accessed on the PDO

HSE-SD & DDC web site or by contacting the contracted PDO Approved Training Provider.

2.4.2 PDO and Contractor Nominees

To participate in a training course or refresher recertification assessment, staff members are

required to complete a course ‗Nomination Form‘ available on request from the HSE-SD and DDC Training Service Providers, or from the PDO HSE-SD & DDC web site. Completed

nomination forms must be approved by the nominee's supervisor, with confirmation that core HSE competence has been achieved, and sent directly to the PDO approved HSE-SD or DDC

Training Provider.

PDO staff requiring HSE-SD training should use the Insight Browser system for any course

types available on the system. Confirmation of booking is provided by an automated response by the Insight Browser system, using an emailed meeting invitation. Acceptance of

this invitation places an entry in the individual‘s Outlook calendar. No other confirmations

will be sent.

Cancellation of any course nomination must be advised by email or fax at least 48 hours prior to commencement of the course otherwise the nomination will be recorded as a no-show and

the full course fee may be charged.

Courses booked by PDO staff using the Insight Browser system may be cancelled by re-

entering the system, going to the course originally booked and clicking on the De-register option. Once the system registers the De-register instruction, the link will change from De-

register to Register. No cancellation confirmation is sent. The original Outlook calendar entry must be manually removed by the individual staff member. Such cancellations must be

Page 46: HSE Training Framework

HSE – SPECIFICATION

SP-1157 REVISION 67.0 Page 4638

made a full 2 days before the course is due to commence. Failure to do so will result in a No

Show being recorded and the full course fee may be charged.

2.4.3 Contractor in-house Training

Contractor companies may undertake in-house HSE-SD training of their own personnel to meet the requirements of this Specification, provided the Contractor company has been

approved by PDO HSE Training Focal Point to deliver the relevant courses. The Approvals Process is set out in Appendix 1, Part I to this document.

2.4.4 Minimum and maximum attendees

In order to ensure effective training minimum and maximum numbers of nominees for each

2.5 Training Assessment

2.5.1 Overview

Core HSE competence assessments

Initial assessments of knowledge and understanding will continue to take place during and immediately after training. Failing to achieve the required standard at any point,

will require a re-assessment after coaching. If the required standard is still not achieved, the delegate will be returned to his employer with a brief report from the ATP, and will not be

permitted in the field until the required standard is achieved after re-training.

Once the core HSE Learning Ladder courses are completed and post-training

competence has been achieved, delegates may be deployed into the workplace. To confirm that the required safety behaviours have been developed and maintained, core HSE

competency will be re-assessed by the nominee‘s supervisor and/or manager in the workplace after 3 months. Assessment will be made against the competency standard

published in this document. (Appendix 2)

Achievement of Core HSE competency must be confirmed and recorded by the

individual‘s supervisor or manager, and verified by a manager above the assessor‘s management level. The records and method of assessments will be further verified

(validated) by Contract Holders and/or PDO‘s HLD8 team at any time.

Page 47: HSE Training Framework

HSE – SPECIFICATION

SP-1157 REVISION 67.0 Page 4639

Most training courses include an end of course Assessment and sSome specific training courses require a 3 yearly Refresher Recertification Assessment. The intervals for re-

certification, where these apply, and the assessment criteria are shown in Table 3 and detailed in the respective Course Specification. (See PART II COURSE SPECIFICATIONS).

Plans should be made to acquire recertification BEFORE the original expiry date. There is no ‗grace‘ period for expired permits or recertification intervals.

Supervisors who assess a new hire to have existing and equivalent knowledge, understanding and skills in any or all areas of core HSE competency should recommend the

individual for competency assessment only. In all cases, the individual must apply to an ATP to carry out the assessment.

Supervisors who assess a new hire‘s existing qualifications, training and experience as being equivalent to or better than PDO‘s training, and is satisfied that their competency is very

likely to meet the PDO standard, should recommend the individual to undertake the competency assessment only. Successful assessment will remove the requirement for the

individual to attend the relevant HSE course, and where a permit issue is involved, the ATP will issue the relevant permit.

Nominees failing to satisfy the competency assessment criteria in these circumstances will be required to attend the full training course.

2.5.2 Refresher Re-certification Assessment Outcome Management

Nominees successfully passing the refresher recertification assessment are considered competent and will have their HSE Training Passport stamped (see Section 2.6) by the HSE-

SD assessor or DDC assessor, as appropriatetraining instructor.

Nominees failing to satisfy the refresher recertification assessment criteria will be required to

attend the entire full training course.

2.6 HSE Training Passport

Training records for PDO staff are maintained in SAPpHIRE., Contractors will maintain a

training matrix, register or database to document Contractor personnel training. These

records are augmented by the HSE Training Passport retained by the individual PDO staff or Contractor employee and up-dated each time they complete an HSE-SD or DDC training

course. The objective of the HSE Training Passport is to provide a documented training record for the individual even if the individual transfers between departments or Contractors.

A PDO HSE Training Passport will be issued to all personnel on the completion of an HSE

Induction; this being the first time they attend a PDO approved HSE training course. For PDO

staff the passport will be issued by MSE the HLD8 department and for contractors by the approved provider of the HSE Induction course.

The Training Passport shall be updated each time a staff member:

successfully passes a PDO approved HSE-SD and or DDC training course

successfully passes a refresher re-certification assessment of competence, or

produces a valid exemption or waiver

Page 48: HSE Training Framework

HSE – SPECIFICATION

SP-1157 REVISION 67.0 Page 4640

The HSE Training Passport may also be used by Contractor's to record successful completion

of PDO approved in-house HSE-SD training, and to record any HSE-SD & DDC training or assessment completed that is additional to PDO minimum requirements.

There is nono corporate requirement for personnel to carry the Passport at all times.

Hhowever, if requested, it must be made available within a reasonable time for review at the worksite.

Page 49: HSE Training Framework

HSE – SPECIFICATION

SP-1157 REVISION 67.0 Page 4641

Damaged, lost or mislaid HSE passports issued by PDO will be replaced on request at cost.

This fee is not reimbursable. It will be the individual‘s responsibility to have training entries and Institute stamps reinstated by the Approved Training Provider(s), and to meet the cost

of their doing so.

In cases where an employee changes contract, location or employer, the employee will retain be given the HSE training passport as evidence of personal HSE-SD and DDC training.

Employers may not withhold or retain the employee‘s HSE training passport under such

circumstances.

2.7 HSE Induction

2.7.1 PDO Staff

The full HSE Induction course offor PDO staff is to be arranged for the individual‘s start date

or at the earliest possible opportunity after that.

The on-line HSE Induction program for PDO staff must be completed first. This is a site specific induction, conducted by the individual‘s supervisor using the pre-prepared program

available on-line.

http://sww1.pdo.shell.om/dept/cd/csm/blocks/training/hesinduction.asp

Prior to the introduction of the e-learning full HSE Induction course, the full HSE Induction course is to be carried out by PDO‘s contracted HSE-SD Training Provider.

Once the HSE Induction course is available through e-learning on PDO‘s intranet, supervisors

must ensure the new hire completes the e-learning HSE Induction course. The entire course

must be completed on the same day it is started. The knowledge and understanding of the new hire is measured as progress through the course is made, and the results automatically

recorded. carried out in-house by the supervisor of the member of staff. The material to be utilised can be found on the HSE Training web site at:

http://sww1.pdo.shell.om/dept/cd/csm/blocks/training/hseinduction.asp

2.7.2 Visitors to PDO and it’s concession areas.

The PDO host for any person visiting for 7 days or less must ensure the visitor(s) receive a site-specific HSE Induction as soon as they arrive on-site. This can be carried out using, as

the basis for site specific information, the presentation available from

http://sww1.pdo.shell.om/dept/cd/csm/blocks/training/hesinduction.asp

For persons visiting or working with or for PDO for more than 7 days, the PDO host must establish if the visitor has attended an equivalent HSE Induction course previously. If not,

the full staff HSE Induction course must be attended and an HSE passport issued. If the visitor is already in possession of an HSE passport of a similar type to that used by PDO, the

result of the PDO HSE Induction can be recorded in the visitor‘s existing HSE passport.

On this page there are three different Induction programme covering: Visitors to PDO

Operational staff (these will usually be staff who do not have computer access)

Supervisory and Management staff (these will usually be people who do have computer access

and the process will involve familiarisation with the various sections of the HSE web site(s)

Page 50: HSE Training Framework

HSE – SPECIFICATION

SP-1157 REVISION 67.0 Page 4642

Once the site-specific on-line HSE Iinduction process has been completed the conducting

supervisor or visitor‘s host should confirm by filling in an electronic form that is accessible from the same page on the web (click confirm).

TheA PDO HSE passport will then automatically be produced by the HSE Training Passport

Focal Point within the MSE HLD8 department (currently HLD82) and may be collected by arrangement or sent out to the individual via the internal post.

2.7.2 3 Contractor Staff

There are two levels ofis a single HSE Induction at Operational level and Supervisory course

applicable to all staff. and Management level for contractor staff. The process involves attendance on a formal course delivered by a PDO approved Approved training Training

providerProvider (ATP). The providers that are approved are shown on the HSE Training web

site. The course materials are standardised and provided by PDO although in some cases where approval for local in-house training is in place, the required PDO HSE Induction may

form a part of the in-house induction course.

All ATPs and contractors Approved to deliver in-house HSE Induction training are required to achieve the PDO training objectives set out in the course specifications by PDO, and it is

expected that the majority of delegates will achieve the required competencies at the

conclusion of the training. As the HSE courses on the core HSE Learning Ladder are progressive, those that do not achieve competence at the end of any course, will not be

permitted to attend any other HSE training courses until they do.

Variation of the training materials used is possible by trainers and facilitators, but PDO‘s

required training outcomes and the competence standard may not be varied. The materials can, however, be added to, in order to take account of company specific competence

requirements.

Following the HSE Induction training the HSE Training Passport will be issued by the training

provider.

2.8 H2S PassPermit

On successful completion of the H2S Awareness and Escape training course attendees will be issued with an H2S PassPermit. This pass permit is essential in order for individuals to gain

entry to areas within PDO where there is the potential for hydrogen sulphide gas to be

present. These areas are increasing over time.

The High Risk Sour version of this course is specifically for staff who are required to work within the exposure zone of sites that are classified as High Risk Sour – currently the Greater

Birba area. From March 2010 these sites will use different types of H2S Escape equipment (Camlock). Permits gained on this course must be endorsed (HRS).

2.9 Approval Process for Training Course DeliveryApproval

Training Providers (Institutes) or Contractors (in-house training to own staff) seeking approval to provide HSE-SD and or DDC training courses and or assessment must apply to

either the PDO HSE (HLD8) or DDC (MSE15) Training Focal Points as appropriate, providing details of the training courses for which approval is requested, the proposed training facilities

and personnel proposed to deliver and manage the training. The detail of information

required is provided in Appendix One1: Part I - HSE Training Provider Approvals Process, and Part II – Defensive Driving. .

Page 51: HSE Training Framework

HSE – SPECIFICATION

SP-1157 REVISION 67.0 Page 4643

An Approval will last for a maximum of 2 years following the initial approval decision. If the Training Provider (Institute) or contractor providing in-house training wishes to continue

delivering PDO programs, they must re-register for an extension of that Approval for a further 2 year period, through HLD8 or MSE15, as appropriate. No reminder for re-

registration will be sent by PDO.

If approval is granted for to a Training Provider (Institute) and or a Contractor (in-house

training to own staff) to deliver HSE-SD and or DDC training then, after initial Approval audits, PDO will periodically inspect carry out a further audit of the Approved Training

Provider‘s and or Contractor‘s facilities, observe the delivery of any HSE-SD training course and audit the quality assurance systems, at least once every year. Ad-hoc inspections of

any or all of these elements or part(s) of them may be carried out by PDO at any time.

PDO reserves the right to refuse to process any application from any company or contractor

desirous of being Approved or re-registered, at any time and without explanation, where it is deemed there is little or no value to PDO‘s business interests from processing the application.

As existing trainers are developed, and new trainers are appointed, the HSE-SD courses that they may be permitted to deliver after approval will vary according to the matrix below.

Trainers that have not yet been approved by PDO to deliver STOP™ training, may deliver the

remainder of the course materials if they have been approved to do so. A separate trainer

who has approval from PDO to deliver STOP™ training will be required to deliver the STOP™ session within the course.

E.g. A Level II trainer is approved to deliver HSE Induction courses, but is not yet approved by PDO to deliver STOP™ training. He may deliver the HSE Induction course, but must use a PDO Approved STOP™ trainer to deliver the STOP™ materials within the course until he has been approved to deliver STOP™ materials himself.

Trainers are Approved to deliver specific courses on application to PDO‘s HSE-SD Training Focal Point. Every additional course the Institute or contracting company wishes them to

deliver must be requested and approved by PDO‘s HSE-SD Training Focal Point.

A register of Trainers and the courses they are individually approved to deliver, will be

maintained by PDO‘s HSE-SD Training Focal Point.

courses and assessments. The PDO provided simulated operational area facilities in the PDO HSE Training Centres of in Fahud and Nimr can be viewed as models for the

design of facilities that are required, although the actual facilities used do not need

to be identical. If there is doubt about the suitability of a facility then the PDO‘s Corporate HSE training focal point can always be consulted.

As a general guide:

H2S practical training areas must have as a minimum: a functional windsock,

in relation to the prevailing wind direction, at least one crosswind exit route,

and exit routes both upwind and down wind, such that traineedelegates can

readily identify them and have a choice of escape direction.

be representative of a typical fenced area that might present an H2S risk in

PDO‘s concession area.

Gas Testing practical training areas, should have as a minimum: a confined space facility,

a facility that is representational of a system of pipes, flanges, valves and

plant that may present common potential leaks in the field.

SCBA practical training areas, must have as a minimum: a facility that has access points on more than one level,

vertical and raking ladders,

sub-divided internally by partitions with doors and/or hatches to allow

internal progress,

free from sharp edges or other hazard,

For most courses base course materials and assessments competence assessment

criteria shall be provided by PDO and will be reviewed,updated as a minimum, on an 6 monthly annual basis. However, for HSE Induction training courses Training

Providers and or Contractors (in-house training to own staff) approved to deliver HSE training will be required to design and develop their own auditable, valid and reliable

end of course assessment process.

Changes to the course materials will not normally be allowed except by PDO,

although recommendations for change can always be made. Trainers may select which of the PDO provided materials to use to ensure the best

opportunity for delegates to achieve the competence requirements at the end of the course. Trainers may supplement the provided materials with others that are

appropriate if they are deemed to make the achievement of the required objectives

and competencies more effective for delegates.

3.5 Contractors should only apply for an audit if there are no payment disputes for

historical training services received by the DDTP.

Page 209: HSE Training Framework

Procedure for Contractors providing Defensive Driving Training in-house

SP-1157 REVISION 67.0 Page 46201

3.6 The contractor must then book an accreditation audit with the PDO MSE15 Road Safety team. The DDAT and potentially PDO will conduct the audit, which will be

provided within a maximum of 14 calendar days of the request. The DDAT charge for this audit, costs are available on the PDO defensive driving web

pages.

3.7 Audit results will be provided to the contractor within 48 hours of the audit being

completed. On successfully passing the audit, the DDAT will issue the certificate, which will be valid for two years. The DDAT will provide PDO MSE15

team with details of all audits and records and PDO reverse the right to have the final authorisation for contractor in-house sign off.

3.8 A bi-annual re-certification audit will be conducted by the DDAT to ensure standards are continued to be met. A cost is payable to the DDAT for this audit,

costs posted on the PDO Defensive Driving web pages. PDO and the DDAT reserve the right to conduct interim audits and spot checks where analysis of

results show cause for concern without prior notice.

3.9 The DDAT or PDO can conduct a spot check on the training conducted by driving

instructors without prior notice.

4.0 Minimum Requirements for Contractors providing in-house training

Although the quality of the training provided by the contractor will be assured by the candidates successfully passing their driving test, it is important for PDO to

ensure minimum standards of training and facilities are maintained to meet minimum PDO standards contained in SP1157.

4.1 Resources

The contractor must ensure that there are sufficient compliant resources for:

i) SP2000 compliant Toyota Prado manual vehicles.

ii) SP1157 compliant classrooms and facilities.

iii) Competent Driving instructors.

iv) Management information systems.

v) Defensive Driving Training Equipment.

4.2 Vehicles

4.2.1 PDO contractors must ensure that all driver training is conducted in SP2000 compliant vehicles and in the vehicles relevant to the course being conducted

and the test which will be undertaken. Note that all light vehicle testing by the DDAT is conducted in manual transmission Toyota Prados and as such all

training must be undertaken in the same vehicle type.

4.2.2 Contractors must provide the necessary documentation to prove RAS

certification and maintenance arrangements are in place.

4.2.3 The contractor must use specific vehicles for the training. Where the vehicle is

unavailable then only replacement vehicles which have been confirmed in the initial certification audit as being SP2000 compliant can be used.

Page 210: HSE Training Framework

Procedure for Contractors providing Defensive Driving Training in-house

SP-1157 REVISION 67.0 Page 46202

4.2.4 The contractor is required to formally inform the DDAT and PDO MSE15 team if

there is any change in specific vehicles used in the delivery of training.

4.3 Training facilities and classrooms

4.3.1 Training and other facilities must be compliant with the standards contained in SP1157 version 7 Annexe 1. The audit must be passed on all aspects to gain

accreditation.

4.3.2 A contractor can rent or lease a property or a training room within a facility

provided it is done legally. Evidence of the tenancy agreement will be required to pass the audit. A ‗use as and when required‘ agreement is prohibited.

Contractors are prohibited from sharing the training rooms with other parties, with the exception of their subcontractors who have been proven to be a

dedicated resource for the term of the contract.

4.4 Driving Instructors

4.4.1 The contractor is required to employ the services of driving instructors qualified to a qualification equivalent to an Approved Driving Instructor from the UK e.g.

ROSPA Fleet Diploma or DIAmond Fleet Driving Instructor qualification.

4.4.2 Only driving instructors authorised and audited by the DDAT are authorised to

deliver the defensive driving training.

4.4.3 The driving instructors used to deliver the courses must be employed by the

contractor. No contractor is authorised to enter a contract with a third party for the provision of the driving instructor unless under a contractual manpower

agreement. Where a driving instructor is provided under a manpower

agreement it must have a contract period no less than 3 months. Where the driving instructor becomes unavailable for the training then the third party is

required at short term notice to provide a back up resource to the contractor, however only a resource approved by the DDAT must be used. The Manpower

agreement must be legally endorsed, i.e. a formal contract and be produced in

the audit to the DDAT and copies will be kept by the DDAT.

4.4.4 The contractor must provide the DDAT with copies of the driving instructor certificates in the audit to prove that the instructor meets the minimum contract

equivalent requirements. Where the instructor has a qualification different than

the Diploma level, the contractor must prove that the qualification is equivalent to that required by PDO and DDAT. The DDAT will audit the ability of the

driving instructor to conduct training both in the classroom and in the vehicle.

4.4.5 Subcontracting of the services of a driving instructor to a PDO contracted third party is not allowed for the duration of the manpower agreement.

4.4.6 Contractors are only allowed to provide the defensive driver training to their own

employees with the exception of a subcontractor used for the execution of the

contract. Note that this exception does not extend to subcontractors solely

providing manpower. Subcontractors must either be for a specific requirement

in the contract delivery or dedicated contractors for the duration of the contract.

Page 211: HSE Training Framework

Procedure for Contractors providing Defensive Driving Training in-house

SP-1157 REVISION 67.0 Page 46203

Such subcontracting arrangements and resources have to be confirmed by the

Contract Holder to the MSE15 department and are subject to periodic auditing.

Any changes to subcontractor arrangements must be immediately reported to

the MSE15 department.

4.4.7 Where a contractor is found to be in violation of any of these conditions relating

to manpower agreements then their accreditation will be removed. Re-

accreditation will only be given at the discretion of PDO and is subject to a further audit and re-approval by the DDAT/PDO. A maximum period of two years

will apply for prohibiting a contractor in providing such in-house training, the length of such a ban will be relative to the seriousness of the infringement of the

rules.

4.4.8 To ensure accreditation, the DDAT during the initial audit will review the training

and instructional performance of the driving instructors using the same criteria as for the DDTP and only pass them as acceptable should they be deemed

competent. A full report will be provided as part of the audit results on each instructor‘s performance. This criteria is based on driving instructors displaying

competency to the required contractual standard.

4.5 Defensive Driving equipment

4.5.1 Risk profiling

4.5.1.1 The PDO courses rely on an initial profile of the drivers to ascertain their

baseline risk and identifies the drivers who are most at risk of having a road

traffic accident. The use of this risk profiler can be booked directly with the DDAT and there is an associated cost on the Defensive Driving Website.

4.5.1.2 The contractor should use the information from the risk profiler to tailor the

training focus and content to that most beneficial to the trainees and so the results of the analysis must be reviewed and used. The results of the risk

profiler must be provided to the DDAT 5 working days before the candidate

attends for test, to enable the DDAT to determine the re-certification frequency.

4.5.1.3 The use of the risk profiler is not mandatory; however the failure of a candidate to complete a risk profiler assessment before they attend the examination and

test will result in an automatic reduction of one year from their minimum re-

certification frequency (i.e. attendance of a DDC06)

4.5.1.4 The contractor can apply to the DDAT and PDO to use an alternative program for risk profiling of their staff, and this use will be allowed if authorised. Such an

application must be in writing and any costs associated with the analysis of this

alternative risk profiling system will be borne by the contractor.

4.5.1.5 Costs relating to the unit cost of the risk profiler can be obtained from the DDAT, or enquires can be made directly to ROSPA. www.ROSPA.org.uk.

Page 212: HSE Training Framework

Procedure for Contractors providing Defensive Driving Training in-house

SP-1157 REVISION 67.0 Page 46204

4.5.2 Eye-sight testing

4.5.2.1 As a pre-requisite for a trainee to participate on a defensive driving course they must undergo an eyesight test using a DVS-V GT Vision Screener. Trainees are

allowed to use corrective lenses to correct their vision. Costs are to be borne by the contractor. Trainees who fail the eye-sight test are not allowed to

participate in the training. The contractor must ensure the use of and maintain

these machines and provide evidence to the DDAT on request.

4.5.2.2 The contractor can apply to the DDAT and PDO to use an alternative vision screener for their staff, and this use will be allowed if authorised. Such an

application must be in writing and any costs associated with the analysis of this

alternative vision screener borne by the contractor. The equipment must be of the same or better specification than the one recommended and cover the same

points.

4.5.2.3 The contractor must provide the eyesight test report to the DDAT when booking the candidate for the test. The test must have been passed as per the PDO

standards. The DDAT reserve the right to double check the eyesight of trainees

before they are tested to prove the validity of the in-house training eyesight test.

4.5.2.4 The contractor must ensure and provide evidence that the person using the eyesight test machine is competent to do so.

4.5.3 Training material

4.5.3.1 Contractors are allowed to use their own in-house or corporate defensive driving course material, or they can utilise the PDO course material which will be made

available to contractors on an ‗in house use only‘.

4.5.3.2 Note that all of the course material is copyrighted and owned by PDO, and can

not be reproduced, copied or used for any other purposes without written agreement from the PDO C311156 Contract Holder.

4.5.3.3 If, following investigation, a party is found to be in breach of the sole use of the

material for its own purpose, then the party will be prosecuted for breach of use

of the training material and may be immediately suspended from conducting in-house driver training. The Contractor must provide a written undertaking to

ensure that material is not used or adapted by a contractor or manpowered employee for purposes outside of the PDO operation.

4.5.3.4 Where the contractor decides to use the PDO defensive driving training material, the DDAT are available to provide the contractor driving instructors with training

in the appropriate techniques, methodology and minimum requirements to deliver the courses successfully and in order to align the training with the

examination and the test. There is no point in having an in-house defensive

driving course if it focuses on different criteria to those that are to be tested.

4.5.3.5 If using different material, the contractor should ensure that the course reflects what is being taught and examined by the DDAT/DDTP to ensure maximum pass

rates.

Page 213: HSE Training Framework

Procedure for Contractors providing Defensive Driving Training in-house

SP-1157 REVISION 67.0 Page 46205

5.0 Ongoing assurance

5.1 The DDAT is responsible for ensuring the continued quality of the training

provided by conducting assurance audits and reviews of the training provided on

a bi-annual basis. There is a cost associated with this audit, costs are on the

PDO Defensive Driving Web pages.

5.2 The contractor must provide the DDAT with the name of the defensive driving instructor that trained each candidate put forward for testing and examination.

This must be done on the request for the direct test. A monthly report must also

be emailed to the MSE15 team within 5 days of the month end.

5.3 The DDAT will conduct analysis of the performance of each driving instructor in

relation to the pass rate of the trainees whom have been taught. Where the

pass rate from a driving instructor falls significantly below the average of the

other driving instructors and/or that of those employed within the DDTP then the

DDAT will inform the contractor and request remedial action to be evidenced.

5.4 Before the contractor employs a new driving instructor their competency and

credentials must be reviewed and checked by the DDAT to ensure they are able

to provide the necessary instruction and training as required by the contract.

There is a cost associated with this compliance review. Costs on the PDO

Defensive Driving web pages.

6.0 Testing roles

6.1 All driving tests have to be conducted by the DDAT.

6.2 The contractor will send their candidates to the DDAT to complete a direct test.

The contractor must provide the vehicles for the DDAT to conduct the test in.

The candidates must have their eyesight results sheet, risk profiler results (if

applicable), name of the instructor and HSE passport to receive a test.

6.3 The DDAT is contractually required to provide contractors a service outside of

the main operating locations of Muscat, Fahud and Nimr, on request. The

contractor will be responsible for paying reasonable costs incurred relating to

transport and accommodation and such costs that be incurred must taken into

account travel time.

6.4 All testing will be provided by the DDAT, and organisation of such testing will be organised directly between the DDAT and the contractor. The contractor can

book test slots which will have to be provided within 3 weeks of the tests being booked. Cancellations of tests within 72 hours of the test date have to be paid

in full by the contractor. The DDAT will provide a calendar to contractors for direct testing slots available, which will be available on the web.

7.0 Driving permits

7.1 The DDAT will provide successful candidates with driving permits as part of the

cost of the test fees.

7.2 The DDAT will also update the HSE passport after a successful test.

8.1 Where the DDAT or PDO identify non conformance with the minimum

requirements with regard to delivering defensive driving training, they will notify such non conformances to the contractor and to the Road Safety Standards

Services PDO Contract Holder.

8.2 On validation, the contractor‘s authorisation to train may be immediately

suspended and the contractor will be given one month to rectify the non

conformances. The rules do not over-ride the clause relating to breach of use of

training material. This will be recorded in writing.

8.3 If the contractor does not rectify the non-conformances within one calendar

month, the authorisation to train will be rescinded and no further defensive

driving training will be allowed in-house of the contractor until such time as a

new request for authorisation has been approved by the DDAT and PDO.

8.4 Where a contractor wishes to cease providing the training in-house for defensive

driving, they are required to write to the DDAT and PDO Contract Holder to

confirm this, specifying the date on which in-house training will cease. After this

date, all future candidates must be trained through the DDTP.

8.5 Non-conformances to the in-house agreement will result in issuing an HSE

default with a minimum of R.O. 500/= per default.

APPENDIX 2 - IN-FIELD ASSESSMENT of CORE HSE COMPETENCIES

Page 230: HSE Training Framework

Procedure for Contractors providing Defensive Driving Training in-house

SP-1157 REVISION 67.0 Page 46222

WORKPLACE ASSESSMENTS of CORE HSE COMPETENCIES

Following completion of the core HSE Learning Ladder, staff will be deployed to their normal workplace to apply the knowledge and understanding they have gained, and develop skill.

Among other duties, the role of supervisory staff is to monitor the safe behaviours of staff

they are responsible for. This is a continuous role, routinely expected as part of a supervisory

staff‘s normal working pattern. To ensure the required safe behaviours are sustained after initial training, the core HSE competencies will be regularly observed and assessed by the

individual‘s supervisor in the workplace. Core HSE competency should be achieved within the first 3 months of appointment, and will be re-assessed at that time.

The competency assessment need not be carried out separately from everyday work activity. The key point for supervisory staff to remember is to observe through watching and

listening, to show appreciation of safe behaviours, identify core HSE competence gaps in individuals and then coach as necessary in those areas until competence is achieved and

maintained through consistent safe behaviour.

CEOs should agree with members of their most senior management team, who will carry out

the assessments of executive staff.

Assessment Records It is essential that a documented record is kept by supervisory staff of the assessments they

carry out on staff. A matrix of the competency statement, date(s) observed, date

competency was achieved, and a remarks column to indicate the evidence that was considered in relation to the assessment decision of each area, will be considered sufficient.

Internal Verification of Assessments

The assessment record will need to be verified by another assessor (internal verifier) at some stage, and always before additional HSE courses can be booked for the individual assessed,

to ensure the evidence being used to determine core HSE competence was reliable and

accurate.

External Verification and validation of Assessments The documented evidence will be validated by another assessor (external verifier), who does

not normally work at the site, on an ad-hoc basis, but at least annually. The process involves

random sampling of a percentage of the assessments carried out, examination of the documented assessment records and interviewing of one or two individuals assessed,

assessors and the internal verifier related to the records sampled.

For contractors, the External Verifier would normally be a Company Site Representative or Contract Holder.

For PDO staff, the External Verifier would normally be a member of the HLD or MSE departments.

Recording Achievement of core HSE competence

Once the Internal Verifier has confirmed core HSE competence was properly assessed,

documented and the standard achieved, the individual‘s company may make an entry into the individual‘s HSE Passport in the ‗HSE Induction ‗ section.

This entry must be dated, the location of the workplace recorded, the name of the Internal

Verifier printed with a contact telephone number in the column normally used for recording

the Supervisor‘s name, and the company stamp used to authenticate the entry, over-signed by the Internal Verifier.
