Mintra Mission

Background

• Within the Oil and Gas Industry there are a number of integrity critical processes which require competent personnel, one of the most important is Control of Work

• Analysis of incidents and near misses in recent years show significant failings in the competency of personnel to manage work safely

• Most companies do not have prescribed competencies for the Control of Work but it represents a very important part of job role competency

• Mintra see there is a clear business case for improving the competency of personnel who perform key roles within the Control of Work

Industry Objectives

• To adopt a competency and behavioural approach beyond just compliance

• To refresh the existing training and use new methods of training delivery – such as a blend of eLearning, classroom, practical workshops and simulation exercises

• To deliver integrated Control of Work training programmes which include Human Factors, Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Roles and Responsibilities

• To integrate human factors understanding, system knowledge and hands on practical training into the training delivery

• To focus the training on the ability to apply the knowledge gained• To standardise the training to meet the OPITO Performing Authority

minimum competence Standard for supervisors

The Solution

• Utilises highly qualified competent instructors, coaches from professional backgrounds who have had real 'actual' hands on experience in the subjects they facilitate and mentor

• Application of competence-based learning solutions, integrating human factors understanding to influence attitudes behaviors, and confidence in the workplace

• Delivers a learning program which incorporates all aspects of the Control of Work

• Provides a common approach to the Control of Work training to enable it to be consistently applied across the Industry

The Solution

• Uses a proven learning and design technique, delivering high impact, interactive, eLearning to engage the workforce and raise the bar on current training methods across the industry

• Integrates both invigilated / remote eLearning with facilitated workshops which simulate work scenario exercises

• Engages with the target audience on the application of knowledge learned and the Control of Work processes to form a catalyst to change attitude, behaviours, and confidence

The Solution

What is Blended Learning?

Classroom Training | Web-based Training | Webinars|

CD-ROM Courses | Video | EPSS Systems |

Simulations | Mobile Learning and much more

Different routes for learning

The focus of the classroom shifts from a

presentational format to one of active learning.

This involves putting learners in situations which compel them to

read, speak, listen, think and act

From passive learning to active learning

Blended Learning optimises resources,

scale and speed of training thereby reducing costs

Companies are moving from Classroom Training to Blended Learning

According to research done by Bersin & Associates

‘Blended Learning: What Works?’
