HSE Training Process

Actions PDO staff shall utilize Personal Development Plans and Professional Profiling of SAPpHIRE to establish and monitor individuals HSE-SD & DDC training needs. Contractors shall develop a training matrix, register or database to document the application of the HSE-SD & DDC Course Specification to the Contract. Identification of PDO Approved Training Providers delivering HSE-SD & DDC training courses. Company HSE-SD & DDC training timetables detail the location and delivery schedule of HSESD & DDC training courses. Nomination forms can be obtained from the PDO HSE web site or directly from the PDO Approved HSE-SD & DDC Training Provider. Completed nomination forms should be approved by the Supervisor and sent to the PDO Approved Training Provider. On completion of HSE-SD & DDC training, nominees will complete a post-training assessment. Where time bound PDO approved training expires nominees can attend a refresher assessment of their competence. After 3 months employment in the workplace, nominees must achieve core HSE competence. Assessment outcomes are documented and validated. Training and assessment results will be retained by the PDO Approved Training Provider or Contractor delivering in-house training and training and assessment outcomes are to be used to update HSE-SD & DDC training programs, and to track individuals job performance and Reference Sect. 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 individuals 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 individuals 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 1 st 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.
SP-1157
REVISION 67.0
Page 9
HSE SPECIFICATION
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 delegates 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 PDOs 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 individuals 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 individuals deselection. 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.

HSE SPECIFICATION
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.

HSE SPECIFICATION
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.

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 nominees 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 individuals supervisor or manager, and verified by a manager above the assessors management level. The records and method of assessments will be further verified (validated) by Contract Holders and/or PDOs HLD8 team at any time.
HSE SPECIFICATION
Most training courses include an end of course Assessment and sSome specific training courses require a 3 yearly Refresher Recertification Assessment. The intervals for recertification, 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 hires existing qualifications, training and experience as being equivalent to or better than PDOs 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 HSESD 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
SP-1157
REVISION 67.0

HSE SPECIFICATION
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.

HSE SPECIFICATION
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 individuals 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 employees 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 individuals 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 individuals 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 PDOs contracted HSE-SD Training Provider. Once the HSE Induction course is available through e-learning on PDOs 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 its 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 visitors 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)

HSE SPECIFICATION
Once the site-specific on-line HSE Iinduction process has been completed the conducting supervisor or visitors 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 PDOs 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.

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 PDOs HSE-SD Training Focal Point. Every additional course the Institute or contracting company wishes them to deliver must be requested and approved by PDOs HSE-SD Training Focal Point. A register of Trainers and the courses they are individually approved to deliver, will be maintained by PDOs HSE-SD Training Focal Point.

APPENDIX 1, PART II DEFENSIVE DRIVING COURSES

Minimum requirements of PDO contractors wishing to provide in-house Defensive Driver Training
1.0 Introduction The following procedure outlines the rules and process for any contractor to provide defensive driving training in-house, including the potential for agreements with current Defensive Driving Training Institutes. In Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) LLC operations road transportation is the highest risk exposure area; road transportation results in the majority of fatalities occurring in the Company operation. To improve road safety standards defensive driver training is provided either in-house by the contractor or by the Defensive Driving Training Provider (DDTP) and all independent testing and examination provided by the Defensive Driving Assessment Team (DDAT). 2.0 Recertification training All DDC06 recertification training can only be conducted by the DDAT. Contractors can not bypass the DDC06 training provided by the DDAT. 3.0 In-house accreditation process PDO contractors wishing to conduct in-house Defensive Driving Training must follow the following process to obtain accreditation from PDO and the DDAT. 3.1 3.2 Read and understand this document. When compliance has been achieved and all documentary evidence is available the contractor must apply to the PDO MSE 15 Road Safety department for registration providing the following evidence in the following table.

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. 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. 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. The DDAT or PDO can conduct a spot check on the training conducted by driving instructors without prior notice. 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.

4.2 4.2.1
Vehicles 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. Contractors must provide the necessary documentation to prove RAS certification and maintenance arrangements are in place. 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.

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. 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. Driving Instructors 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. Only driving instructors authorised and audited by the DDAT are authorised to deliver the defensive driving training. 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. 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. Subcontracting of the services of a driving instructor to a PDO contracted third party is not allowed for the duration of the manpower agreement. 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.

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. Reaccreditation 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. 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 instructors performance. This criteria is based on driving instructors displaying competency to the required contractual standard.
4.4.8
4.5 Defensive Driving equipment 4.5.1 4.5.1.1 Risk profiling 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. 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. 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 recertification frequency (i.e. attendance of a DDC06) 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. 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.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 inhouse 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. 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. 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.

Procedure for Contractors providing Defensive Driving Training in-house 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. 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. 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. 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 6.2 All driving tests have to be conducted by the DDAT. 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. 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. 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. Driving permits The DDAT will provide successful candidates with driving permits as part of the cost of the test fees. The DDAT will also update the HSE passport after a successful test.

8.0 Withdrawal of authorisation 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. On validation, the contractors 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. 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. 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. 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

REVISION 67.0

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 staffs 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 individuals 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 individuals company may make an entry into the individuals 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 Supervisors name, and the company stamp used to authenticate the entry, over-signed by the Internal Verifier.
