OJT Module
demonstrate how to operate the specific pipe racking system on board your installation,
explain rig specific TSTPs (Task Specific THINK Procedures) and maintenance procedures for the pipe racking system,
perform all of the functions provided for the pipe racking system safely and competently, and
troubleshoot and correct possible malfunctions.
TRAINING MATERIAL
The Pipe Racking System OJT Module includes:
1. a mandatory task list, which is a list of jobs you must be able to perform,
2. self-study reference library content, and
3. review questions.
TRAINING PROCEDURE
The task list is the measure of progress in your training. As you prove competence, your supervisor will sign off each specific
task. Your supervisor may write in additional installation specific tasks depending on operations. Completion of the task
list is mandatory.
The supporting self-study multimedia programs, videos and books are provided to help you to better know how to perform
the responsibilities of your job position. The use of these tools is voluntary. Most training participants will find the tools very
helpful in providing fundamental knowledge.
When you finish the task list requirements to your supervisors satisfaction, you will have to successfully complete a
computer-generated final test which verifies your knowledge of topics in the module.
Upon successful completion of the OJT task list and final test to meet internal and regulatory requirements the following
shall be completed:
- supervisors fill out the Completion Notification Form (CNF) ensuring that the employee comments section is also completed,
- accredit the participant and scan the completed CNF in GMS, and
- maintain the completed task list in the personnel file on board the installation so that it is available for verification and audit.
Note: Training participant should maintain a copy of the CNF for personal record of completion.
