This paper will explain the steps that Weatherford Asia Pacific took to change a safety performance that had remained static for the preceding five years. Weatherford Asia Pacific has in place five key result areas (KRA): HSE performance. Financial performance. Operational performance. Growth. People and resources. The vice president of Weatherford Asia Pacific, Mr. Alistair Geddes, made a decision to personally involve himself in the improvement of the key performance indicators for KRA 1. Believing that leadership was the key to improvement, he set about developing an internal safety leadership training course—this was done alongside the regional learning and development manager Mr. Robert Massy. This approach was unique for a variety of reasons: It was spearheaded by the region’s vice president who not only assisted in the preparation of the slides, but personally delivered five sessions in a variety of countries in the region. It was linked to the Weatherford International’s five core behaviors, thus linking safety leadership to other corporate initiatives. It required each leader to complete a personal safety pledge card detailing the activities that they were going to undertake for that performance year. Completion of their pledges is mandatory and linked to performance review. It was pushed further down the organisation by the general managers of each Geomarket. There have been some very positive indicators that point to the success of this approach. For the first five months of the year, Weatherford Asia Pacific remained recordable incident free (though that situation has now changed). An easy solution would have been to bring in an external training provider to deliver an established training course. This was not viewed as the preferred option as the strength of this approach comes from the person who is delivering the message.

Abstract The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), the Petroleum Regulatory agency of the Nigerian oil and gas industry is mandated by law to investigate accidents in the industry. Data obtained from the oil and gas accident database from the Department of Petroleum Resources shows that accidents in the downstream sector contribute about 70%, when compared to the upstream sector. One of the reoccurring root causes from investigations point to administrative barrier failure – which is a lack of training and re-training of staff in the downstream sector on workplace safety. Against this background, the DPR introduced the Minimum Industry Safety Training for Downstream Operations (MISTDO) as part of the Safety Audit Clearance policy launched to drive safety in the downstream sector. MISTDO is a basic safety training which must be undertaken by all personnel working in the downstream sector of the Nigerian oil and gas industry. This paper reviews the recorded accidents that have occurred in the downstream sector between 2014 – 2019; examines the MISTDO courses for the various workers in downstream facilities; analyses the MISTDO tripartite model (Training provider, Operator and DPR) adopted; the effects of implementation of MISTDO and concludes with the value additions of the MISTDO program to the industry.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) was established in 1998 and is now 20 years old. In its short history, the CDP has significantly evolved the relevance and responsiveness of its courses and its capability to provide high-fidelity, hands-on training, and exercises to meet the demanding needs of today’s responders. This article discusses the basis of need for a competent, responder training program; the genesis of the CDP as a no-cost provider of responder training for state, local, tribal, and territorial responders; describes the current training opportunities available to responders; previews emerging training opportunities that are under development or envisioned in the very near future; and provides insight to the future progression of the CDP as it continues to expand and evolve its role as FEMA’s premiere, responder focused, hands-on training provider.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to distinguish the typology of marine education and training and explore the student preference of the best typology which develop their competencies. This paper will tabulate some recommendations for the marine education and training provider to further enhance their training. Design/methodology/approach – This research adopt and adapt the Satty’s analytic hierarchy process method to weight and rank the typology of training. A group of student who completed their study and currently works at operational level voluntarily participated in this survey. A pairwise matrix used to compute the weights within the typology of training. Findings – The outcome of the study shows that all typology of training are not equally weighted. The best typology of training was identified. Marine academicians drawn some recommendations. Research limitations/implications – The sample size may not appropriate for generalizable. The same study can be expandable to large size. Practical implications – The study was conducted at one marine education and training provider. A panel analysis required for framework development. Originality/value – The paper contributed some recommendation for the marine education and training provider on their operational strategy and initiative.
