This guide is developed to assist land based Canadian operations in developing their internal system to effectively manage service providers. This guide can also be used by all employers to develop their own system or compare to an existing system.

G U I D E L I N E O N S U P E R V I S O R C O M P E T E N C Y

The guideline offers a perspective on the competencies required for supervisors to achieve superior site management outcomes in health, safety, environment, operations and social responsibility. The guideline also provides an outline to help build a company-specific training matrix and tools that can be used by any organization to augment their own performance management processes.

Enform helps companies stay informed of, and comply with Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) legislation. To assist companies, Enform retained Bennett Jones LLP to review provincial statues, regulations and codes regarding OH&S in the three western provinces, as well as reviewing legislation that is applicable to entities that are federally regulated.

Enform encourages companies to take advantage of this detailed analysis of OH&S legislation to assist them in understanding their legal requirements in the province(s) where they work.

This guideline provides oil and gas employers with an outline of what a Safety Management System (SMS) is and why implementing an SMS is not only beneficial but essential. Safety Management System is a systematic approach put in place by an employer to minimize the risk of injury and illness. This is accomplished by identifying, assessing and controlling risks to workers in all workplace operations. An effective SMS is a key component of any business. The scope and complexity of a health and safety management system will vary according to the type of workplace and the nature of operations carried out.

Helping Companies Achieve their Safety Goals

Enform engages industry and government to identify and develop practices that companies can adopt to help them improve their safety performance. Enform provides and shares online publications which cover a wide variety of occupational safety and health issues such as industry recommended practices, safety alerts, and guidelines. All are available for download, free of charge, at www.enform.ca.Here’s a highlighted list of Enform publications:

Hazard Assessment


The following CSAZ1000-06, ANSI/AIHA Z10-2005, ILO-OSH 2001, OHSAS-18001-1999, and Certificate of Recognition (COR) standards specify that health and safety programs/management systems are developed around the results of your hazard assessments.

Hazard assessments are a formal process of identifying hazards, evaluating the risk presented by each hazard and controlling each hazard before the hazards injure people, cause property damage and interfere with your business.

To stress the importance of the Hazard Management System (HMS) and in conducting worksite hazard assessments, key Federal, Provincial and local regulatory requirements will be reviewed. Special emphasis will be placed upon the legal concept of due diligence.

To create an effective learning environment, this recently updated program will include interactive student activities such as workshops, case studies, videos and classroom presentations. The program manual will include an appendix with sample forms and useful reference documents or links.

P R E R E Q U I S I T E S• Application Form: Oil and

Gas Transportation Services - Competency Assessor Training Program

• Application Form: Snubbing Services Supervisor - Competency Assessor Training Program

• Application Form: Well Testing Services Supervisor - Competency Assessor Training Program

The Petroleum Competency Program (PCP) was launched in 1995 to address the need for job standardization and occupational recognition within the oilfield service sector. The PCP established, for the first time, an industry standard for field occupations in the petroleum industry. Formation of the PCP was initiated by the Petroleum Services Association of Canada (PSAC) and transitioned in 2003 to the Petroleum Human Resources Council of Canada, a national collaborative forum that addresses human resources within the upstream petroleum industry. A PCP Steering Committee establishes and monitors procedures for assessment and the competency process. The committee is comprised of representatives from companies in each sector that currently have competency standards, or that have competency standards under development. Competency standards are developed for specific occupations by teams of experts from those industry sectors. Currently there are established competency standards for occupations in oil and gas transportation, well testing and snubbing services.

Effective in 2005, holders of PCP certificates may receive additional recognition of their competence from the Government of Alberta. Through the Apprenticeship and Training



Board, Alberta Advanced Education will grant certification under their Designation Occupation program to workers in some occupations who hold a valid PCP certificate and apply to the Minister.

Benefits:

• Customers: Reduced insurance costs from use of qualified service personnel, cost effectiveness from use of established correct practices, enhanced professional image

• Companies: Demonstrated emphasis on training, assessment and quality of personnel, reduced administrative costs, training designed to more effectively meet future company needs, fewer accidents and incidents translating into lower costs and overhead, demonstrated due diligence

• Employees: Ability to make long-term learning and career plans, better remuneration, improved promotion opportunities, demonstrated due diligence

Training:

Enform provides training for competency assessors and administers the competency certification process.

• The assessor training covers such topics as the definition of competencies, theory and know-how of performing assessments, the administrative process, dealing with common problems, and a comparison of units, outcomes and performance criteria

• The monitoring process includes: maintaining assessment records, responding to inquiries from candidates, certifying successful candidates, participation on the PCP and directing auditor activities

Further information on the Petroleum Competency Program is available on the Petroleum Human Resources Council of Canada website at www.petrohrsc.ca. Further information on Designated Occupations is available on the Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training website at www.tradesecrets.org.ca.

This policy change pertains to certificates, with or without printed dates of expiry. There is no Enform requirement to retake the PST if current certificate carries an expiry date

Power Line Safety and Awareness


Power line contacts are a daily occurrence and can cause serious injury and death. Statistics from electrical utility providers show that every day, three Albertans risk their lives needlessly by contacting a

power line... because they didn’t ask themselves “Where’s the line?”

People working in close proximity to power lines must know how to protect themselves and their coworkers from coming in contact with both overhead and underground power lines. Workers who move equipment or other high loads on roadways must know how to identify and avoid the power line hazard. In the event of contact with a power line, people need to know how to respond to this emergency.

Enform has developed multiple level training that has been endorsed by WorkSafeBC for students wishing to become fallers in the oil and gas industry. Progressing through the training in a graduated manner with on-the-job work experience required between each level, students are taken through the basic steps of site assessment and safe work procedures for chainsaws, up to falling operations and the assessment of falling hazards. These programs have been designed so that 75% of the time is spent in the field practicing the skills taught.

This 3 day program covers instruction in: personal and work site safety, hazard assessment and control, chainsaw inspection and maintenance, chainsaw handling and operations, and safe climbing and bucking practices.

a greater overall value to its customers and stakeholders.

Jolene VarndellManager, Marketing and Communications, Petroleum Human Resources Council of Canada



Enform is such a unique organization. It’s a facilitating body that helps bring industry players together. Look at the top as an example. Enform’s Board of Directors represents members from geophysics,

pipeline, drilling and service rigs, explorers and producers, along with other service providers. This doesn’t happen in other industries. Enform gets the experts together to discuss industry related issues. We sit down as an oil and gas community to discuss problems and find solutions to these problems. Enform is a shining example on how to approach safety issues. I’m a believer in Enform. I think many of us are.

My role is to teach students how to develop and implement a safety program and understand why such a program is important. When students leave my class I want them to say, “This makes sense to me”.

I believe that the oil and gas industry has the highest standards required to pass a Certificate of Recognition (COR) safety audit because they demanded that the bar be raised and Enform listened. We must all work together to facilitate safer workplaces.

Dan McKenzieInstructor, Enform (10 years) & Owner of Safety Excellence Inc.



The formation of a safety association brings to life the idea that worker safety is not proprietary and that we all play a role in preventing incidents that can deeply impact the lives of the workers, their families

and our society. Enform is that place where we can collaborate with all of industry to create a culture of safety that truly reflects the way we do things around here.
