The amount of knowledge and skills required by supervisors and management in today's environment can be overwhelming. No longer does understanding the technical aspects of the job suffice, supervisors need to be aware of a range of employee relations, safety and other management issues.

CCI members will now be able to access cost-effective training in emergency management following CCI’s acquisition of UK-based training company RGIT Montrose’ Perth operations.

Previously, oil and gas companies from all over the world had to send staff to Scotland to access the world-class emergency management training provided by market leader, RGIT Montrose.

CCI now has exclusive rights to provide this type of training in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific region. CCI is licensed to deliver key courses in Management of Major Emergencies, Control Room Operators Training and Person-In-Charge coaching and assessment.

CCI has secured a state-of-the-art control room simulator which allows course participants to learn skills in an interactive setting. Specialised software re-creates the cause / effect relationships that underpin the operations of an oil production or gas processing facility.

The simulator can also be adapted to imitate other environments that use a computerised control room, which means training programs can be developed for other industries.

During a typical course, participants will re-create emergency scenarios such as explosion and fire, a helicopter incident, a process incident, well control, collision or wave damage causing structural collapse, terrorist attacks and other possible causes for an emergency or crisis.

During training, participants act as both team leaders and members in a simulated emergency setting, thus familiarising themselves with different aspects of managing an incident.

Following the course, participants can be assessed for competency against the standards set by industry through the globally recognised Offshore Petroleum Industry Training Organisation.

Steve Hyslop and Dan Robertson, staff previously employed by RGIT Montrose, have joined CCI to ensure the same high standard of service is maintained for local training programs as is provided elsewhere in the world.

This type of training became commonplace when new safety regulations were introduced following the “Piper A” disaster. However, many large operators in the hydrocarbon industry see such training as a means of managing risk and ensuring safety standards are improved.

The creation of new standards for major hazardous facilities in Australia will drive an increased demand for similar training.

CCI is currently developing a range of additional specialist courses designed to complement its three key emergency management training courses.
