PREFACE

NOGEPA has pleasure in presenting the latest revision of the Training Handbook.
This NOGEPA Training Handbook, revision 8, is edited under the responsibility of the
Netherlands Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Association.
This Handbook is meeting the demands on training and competence, as requested by the

2.14b Management of Major Emergencies (MoME refresher)

Course Type:

Intended for:

Objective:
Upon completing this course the participants will have refreshed his training to show
effective leadership during a Major Emergency on an Offshore E&P installation.

Learning Targets:
The OIM will be trained to:
Lead a well trained Emergency Response organization;
Assess the situation and conduct appropriate information management during an
Emergency;
Take effective action and delegate tasks during an Emergency;
Maintain effective communications, both internally and externally;
Maintain a state of readiness and Emergency preparedness;
Deal with stress in self and others;
Manage various relevant internal and external resources.

The practical training will be executed by means of command centre simulations, which will
simulate all of the following scenarios:

- Injured personnel - Loss of essential equipment
- Multiple casualties - Rapidly developing situation leading to
time pressure
- Missing personnel - Lack or overload of information
- Loss of containment - Abandonment or evacuation of the
installation
- Hampered or loss of communication - Chemical and/or oil spills and hazards to
the environment
- Loss of evacuation means, muster points
or TR
- Adverse weather conditions
- Stressed or incapacitated key personnel

The command centre simulations will consist of both class A, B and C types of Emergencies
(see 2.14a for classification).

Subjects of the short theory sessions are:
Maintaining a state of readiness on board and preparation for Emergencies;
The role of the Emergency Manager and the Emergency Management Team and the
operation of an Information Management system (IMS);
The nature of Major Emergencies and their respective requirements for leadership
abilities.

The number of command centre simulations during the course shall be no less than 1 per
delegate. Delegates can only obtain an appraisal if they have performed in the role of OIM
during a minimum of 1 simulation.

Delegates will be assessed by means of continuous evaluation by a trained and competent
assessor. By the end of the course the delegate is to receive a written and specified
appraisal with possible areas for improvement.

Page 42 of 78
Duration:
A refresher training course will take 2 days, of which 20% will consist of theory, and 80% of
control room simulations. The delegate has to attend the full course program to successfully
complete the course. The refresher course can also be integrated in NOGEPA Scenario based
training.

The delegate is required to have followed a NOGEPA MoME course or Formal Assessment
within the past 2 years.
The maximum number of delegates on this course is 6 (six).

Validity:
2 years.

2.15 Management of Major Emergencies (Formal Assessment)

Course Type:
Competence assessment (specialist).

Intended for:

Objective:
To formally assess a delegates ability to show effective leadership during Major
Emergencies on Offshore E&P installations.

Assessment details:
The delegate will be assessed against the following competences:
To assess the situation and make plans to combat the Emergency accordingly;
To show effective leadership and manage the various team members to their best of
abilities;
To maintain both internal and external communications in an effective manner;
To delegate actions and decisions to team members best suited for the task;
To take responsibility and initiative to combat the Emergency;
To cope with stress in self or others.

The delegate will be assessed during no less than 3 control room simulations during which
the delegate has the role of OIM. During these simulations the delegate can be confronted
with class A, but at least one class B and one class C type of Emergencies (see 2.14a for
classification). The delegate will have no prior knowledge of the content of the simulation.

Prior to taking this formal assessment the delegate is to provide written evidence of being
qualified to act as an OIM and has had a leading role in maintaining the emergency
preparedness on an offshore installation.

The delegate will be assessed by means of continuous evaluation by a trained, qualified and
industry experienced assessor.

By the end of the course the delegate is to receive a written and specified assessment with
the following possible results:

1 = Competent to show effective leadership to a well trained team during an Emergency;
2 = Not yet competent to show effective leadership to a well trained team during an
Emergency.

The delegate is to score a 1 on all 3 simulations presented to him/her to achieve a positive
assessment outcome. To obtain a second chance a delegate needs to show reasonable
promise to be successful on re-assessment. Only one simulation per delegate can be re-
assessed.

Page 44 of 78
Duration:
The assessment will take 2-3 days:
Day 1 (optional) is to be used for refreshment of memory, practice and familiarization with
the facilities and scenario.
Day 2 is the day of the formal assessment to conduct at least 3 control room simulations
per delegate.
Day 3 is to be used in case the day 2 simulations run over time or for re-assessment.

The delegate is required to have followed the MoME basic course, MoME refresher course, or
a NOGEPA accepted equivalent
1
, within the past 2 years.
The maximum number of delegates to be assessed in this course is 2 (two) per day.
