Preamble

Indian petroleum industry is the energy lifeline of the nation and its continuous performance is
essential for sovereignty and prosperity of the country. As the industry essentially deals with inherently
inflammable substances throughout its value chain – upstream, midstream and downstream – Safety
is of paramount importance to this industry as only safe performance at all times can ensure optimum
ROI of these national assets and resources including sustainability.

While statutory organizations were in place all along to oversee safety aspects of Indian petroleum
industry, Oil Industry Safety Directorate (OISD) was set up in 1986 Ministry of Petroleum and Natural
Gas, Government of India as a knowledge centre for formulation of constantly updated world-scale
standards for design, layout and operation of various equipment, facility and activities involved in this
industry. Moreover, OISD was also given responsibility of monitoring implementation status of these
standards through safety audits.

In more than 25 years of its existence, OISD has developed a rigorous, multi-layer, iterative and
participative process of development of standards – starting with research by in-house experts and
iterating through seeking & validating inputs from all stake-holders – operators, designers, national
level knowledge authorities and public at large – with a feedback loop of constant updation based on
ground level experience obtained through audits, incident analysis and environment scanning.

The participative process followed in standard formulation has resulted in excellent level of compliance
by the industry culminating in a safer environment in the industry. OISD – except in the Upstream
Petroleum Sector – is still a regulatory (and not a statutory) body but that has not affected
implementation of the OISD standards. It also goes to prove the old adage that self-regulation is the
best regulation. The quality and relevance of OISD standards had been further endorsed by their
adoption in various statutory rules of the land.

Petroleum industry in India is significantly globalized at present in terms of technology content requiring
its operation to keep pace with the relevant world scale standards & practices. This matches the OISD
philosophy of continuous improvement keeping pace with the global developments in its target
environment. To this end, OISD keeps track of changes through participation as member in large
number of International and national level Knowledge Organizations – both in the field of standard
development and implementation & monitoring in addition to updation of internal knowledge base
through continuous research and application surveillance, thereby ensuring that this OISD Standard,
along with all other extant ones, remains relevant, updated and effective on a real time basis in the
applicable areas.

Together we strive to achieve NIL incidents in the entire Hydrocarbon Value Chain. This, besides other
issues, calls for total engagement from all levels of the stake holder organizations, which we, at OISD,
fervently look forward to.

Jai Hind!!!

FOREWORD

The Oil Industry in India is 100 years old. Because of various collaboration agreements, a
variety of international codes, standards and practices have been in vogue. Standardisation
in design philosophies and operating and maintenance practices at a national level was
hardly in existence. This coupled with feedback from some serious accidents that occurred
in the recent past in India and abroad, emphasised the need for the industry to review the
existing state of art in designing, operating and maintaining oil and gas installations.

With this in view, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas in 1986 constituted a Safety
Council assisted by the Oil Industry Safety Directorate (OISD) staffed from within the industry
in formulating and implementing a series of self-regulatory measures aimed at removing
obsolescence, standardiising and upgrading the existing standards to ensure safe
operations. Accordingly, OISD constituted a number of functional committees of experts
nominated from the industry to draw up standards and guidelines on various subjects.

The present standard on “Safety Health & Environment Training for Exploration &
Production (Upstream) Personnel” was prepared by the Functional Committee on “Safety
Health & Environment Training for Exploration & Production (Upstream) Personnel”. This
document is based on the accumulated knowledge and experience of industry members and
the various national and international codes and practices.

This standard is meant to be used as supplement and not as replacement for existing
codes and practices.

It is hoped that provisions of this standard if implemented objectively, may go a long way
to improve the safety health & environment and reduce accidents in Oil and Gas Industry
(Upstream)). Users are cautioned that no standard can be a substitute for the judgement of
responsible and experienced engineer.

Suggestions are invited from the users after it is put into practice to improve the document further.
Suggestions for amendments to this document should be addressed to the Coordinator,
Committee on “Safety Health & Environment Training for Exploration & Production (Upstream)
Personnel”, Oil Industry Safety Directorate, 8th Floor, OIDB Bhavan, Plot No. 2,Sector - 73
Noida – 201301 (U.P.)
.

This standard in no way supersedes the statutory requirements of bodies like DGMS,IBR.
CCE, Factory Inspectorate or any other Government Body which must be followed as
applicable.

SAFETY HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT TRAINING FOR
EXPLORATION & PRODUCTION (UPSTREAM) PERSONNEL

SAFETY HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT TRAINING FOR EXPLORATION & PRODUCTION


(UPSTREAM) PERSONNEL

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Oil and gas operations like Drilling, Production, Refining, Transportation and Distribution are
hazardous. Therefore, safety education and training receives great attention in the Oil
Industry. A variety of training courses are conducted by the Oil Companies intended to develop
the skills, know-how and safety consciousness of employees.

This document attempts to standardise the minimum safety inputs, which should be included in
the Safety, Health, Environment (SHE) Exploration & Production (E&P) Training for Personnel.

It is however recognised that there could be areas of training other than those identified in this
document, where the need to specify minimum safety inputs would also arise. This document
provides a basic framework for development of suitable training programmes.

Compliance with the requirements given in this document shall go a long way in ensuring safe
operations of the installations in the upstream oil industry.

2.0 SCOPE

The scope of this document covers the SHE aspects of Exploration activities. Functional
training requirements intended to develop the skills for performance of jobs in the respective
areas are excluded.

Guidelines on preparation and execution of typical training programmes use of appropriate


training techniques and evaluation of the effectiveness of training programmes are discussed.

This document is in no way supersedes the training requirements, stipulated by statutory


bodies like the Directorate General of Shipping, International Maritime Organisation or any
other government authorities.

3.0 Training Needs

The training needs must be identified suitably at every work centre for the individuals &
documented and informed to the concerned training centres.

4.0 TRAINING TECHNIQUES

Appropriate training techniques on the following basis should be selected and used in order to
attain the objectives of the various training courses outlined in this document:

The techniques and their application are given below:

i) Demonstration:

The right way to do a job shall invariably be demonstrated to the trainees in the first place.
The right way is also the safe way. Hazards due to wrong procedures, short cuts and their
adverse effects etc. should also be highlighted.

ii) Coaching:

This technique should be used to develop individual skills, knowledge and attitude of the
participants. This technique is most effective when a one-to-one relationship exists
“OISD hereby expressly disclaims any liability or responsibility for loss or damage resulting
from the use of OISD Standards/Guidelines.”
Sr.Number:OISD/DOC/2016/419

OISD – STD – 176 Page No. 2


SAFETY HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT TRAINING FOR
EXPLORATION & PRODUCTION (UPSTREAM) PERSONNEL

between the trainer and trainee and progressively less effective as it increases to
one-to-two, three etc.

iii) Do-it-Yourself Training:

When the situation demands that the trainee needs to learn himself and gain confidence
while doing the job, this technique should be used. The trainer should monitor the
performance & provide help as & when necessary.

iv) Lecture:

This technique should be applied when it is required to transfer information to an audience


with controlled content and time, using audio / visual aids.

v) Case Study:

This is an effective technique based on the presentation of the case of real events by
Trainer / Trainee to highlight the relevant details of the subject matter.

vi) Simulation:

This technique should be used to explain the subject matter with the simulators / using
simulated condition close to the real life situation.

vii) Virtual Learning:

This technique should be encouraged for self-learning through internet / intranet etc.

5.0 COURSE DIRECTOR & FACULTY

Faculty shall use the guidelines provided in this Section in preparation and execution of SHE
training courses for exploration personnel whether separately or as part of functional training
programmes.

5.1 GUIDELINES FOR COURSE DIRECTOR

i) Course Objective:

Section 6.0 of this document shall be referred for the course objectives. The course
objective should clearly and explicitly identify the outcomes of a training programme, is
expected to produce. For example, the aim of basic SHE related course is to:

• Provide good understanding and identification of the hazards associated with


the job including occupational hazards.

• Provide clear understanding of the safe way to perform the job & preventive
measures.

• Evoke correct and prompt response in any emergency situation.

• The objective of the course will be that on completion of the course, the trainee
should be able to:

• Recognise hazardous condition at his place of work;

“OISD hereby expressly disclaims any liability or responsibility for loss or damage resulting
from the use of OISD Standards/Guidelines.”
Sr.Number:OISD/DOC/2016/419

OISD – STD – 176 Page No. 3


SAFETY HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT TRAINING FOR
EXPLORATION & PRODUCTION (UPSTREAM) PERSONNEL

• Environment protection/preservation

• Perform his job in accordance with the safe operating procedure;

• Help rectify an unsafe condition;

• Escape safely in case of release of toxic gases / emergency evacuation.

• Operate fire fighting equipment etc.

• The more accurately and clearly the objective specifies a training outcome, the
more helpful it will be to the Course Directors and Faculties in designing their
programmes. The objective to the programmes should be written down and
communicated to the participants in the beginning.

ii) Target Group:

The courses mentioned in this document are intended for different groups of persons.
In a target group, the academic background, proficiency in language likely to be used
in a course and levels of comprehension of subjects to be discussed may vary.
Therefore, while inviting participants to a course, it should be clearly stated what is the
expected level of knowledge / experience that one should have before he can derive
full advantage of the intended course.

If the participants in a group are more or less at the same mental level of
comprehension, then it is easier to select the training technique (See Section 3.0) that
would be most useful for that target group.

iii) Climate Setting:

Effective learning requires setting a climate in a training situation that is conducive to


learning. The following factors which help create such climate, should be considered:

• Persons are more open to learning if, they are encouraged for better interaction
and are not embarrassed or ridiculed.

• Participation in group exercises where trainees see themselves as mutual helpers


rather than rivals.

• Mutual trust and friendliness between trainees and faculty.

• Care of human needs such as peaceful & conducive environment, comfortable


seats, adequate breaks between training sessions, proper lighting and ventilation.

iv) Course Design

The course design should include following factors:

a) Programme layout
b) Selection of faculty
c) Arranging course material / training aids
d) Selection of training techniques (for details see Section 4.0)

SAFETY HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT TRAINING FOR
EXPLORATION & PRODUCTION (UPSTREAM) PERSONNEL

e) Field Visits: In case of new entrants, safety devices & procedures should be
explained at site also. Adequate time for field visits should be allotted. Field
visits during refresher course may also be arranged wherever necessary.
f) Evaluation methodology (for details see Section 7.0)

5.2 GUIDELINES FOR FACULTY:

i) Essential Factors:

The faculty should take into consideration following factors while preparing and
presenting a topic:

• Course objective

• Introduction of trainer & trainees

• Target group (intended for)

• Time available

• Feedback from earlier programmes

• Sequence and structuring of training material

• Pre & Post evaluation

ii) Training/Lecture notes

Well written notes are useful training materials and should be made available for
ensuring easier learning by the trainees. Since a substantial portion of the courses are
to be covered in class rooms, it is very essential that training notes are carefully
prepared.

A training note should primarily comprise of three sections as follows:

• Introduction : Get the trainees ready to learn & previews what is to be learnt.
• Explanation : Presents the information to be learnt, including examples and
practices
• Summary : Reviews the information taught, and helps trainees remember and
apply it.

The following matters should be considered while preparing a training note:

a) Introduction Section:

• Tell the trainee how the content will help him


• Cite authors, research or industry practice on which the notes are based. This is
to establish credibility.
• State the objectives in terms of skills, know-how the trainees will gain.
• State how the information being taught is related to what trainees already
know.
• Present the information to be learnt in brief.

b) Explanation Section:

“OISD hereby expressly disclaims any liability or responsibility for loss or damage resulting
from the use of OISD Standards/Guidelines.”
Sr.Number:OISD/DOC/2016/419

OISD – STD – 176 Page No. 5


SAFETY HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT TRAINING FOR
EXPLORATION & PRODUCTION (UPSTREAM) PERSONNEL

• Divide the total information into groups, each with a heading.


Research shows that trainees can perceive not more than seven pieces of
information at one time. Only the information that one needs to know, as related
to the training objectives, should be included in the notes. Trainees must not be
burdened with unnecessary information.

• Combine text with illustrations, diagrams, photographs, audio / visual etc.

• Give examples, typical instances of the concepts being taught.

• Use tables, charts, highlight key points, provide double space between typed
lines that help rapid scanning, reading & retrieval.

• Provide exercises or questions at the end for practice.

• Include feedback to indicate whether the response to the exercise was correct or
not.

iii) Summary Section:

• Give a summary of the information, but in a slightly different way. Highlight the
key points.

• Give a job-aid / checklist / references of documents that can be used by trainees


back on the job.

iv) Group discussions

Group exercise should be included / designed based on the course contents and group
presentations should be encouraged.

v) Concluding Session

In this session the feedback would be evaluated for continuos improvement.

6.0 COURSE OUTLINE

This section specifies the minimum SHE inputs to be included in SHE training course, for
various categories of employees in selected areas through individual Course Modules.
Hazardous / high risk operation should be specifically highlighted indicating the risks involved
and precautions to be undertaken.

The following points shall also be kept in view:

i) SHE Officer / Fire Officer’s Training:

It is likely that a new incumbent may not have been exposed to the type of SHE training
prescribed in this standard before taking up his assignment. It shall therefore be ensured
that such persons are also exposed to the relevant training programmes.

ii) Refresher Courses:

7.0 EVALUATION OF SHE TRAINING PROGRAMMES

The evaluation of SHE training programmes in terms of their overall effectiveness towards
attainment of course objectives and changes necessary for improvement, should be based on
the criteria and techniques explained in this section.

7.1 BASIC CRITERIA

The following basic criteria should be adopted for evaluation of any training programme:

i) Participant’s reaction- Participant’s reaction should be obtained in respect of the course


content, training methods / techniques used by the faculty, quality of course material etc.
ii) Change in participant’s learning. It should be ascertained whether participants’ learning
in terms of knowledge and skills in specific areas or activities e.g. safe operating and
maintenance procedures, fire prevention and control, etc. have improved after the
training.

iii) Change in Participant’s attitude

It should be checked in what ways and to what degree / extent the attitude of the
participants (Values or beliefs) have been influenced by the training programme. An
evaluation of their behaviour on the job is necessary for this purpose and suitable
methodology should be developed.

iv) Change in job performance


Change in participants’ performance at their place of work as a result of the training,
should be evaluated.

v) Performance of Faculty
The effectiveness of faculty in each training programme should be evaluated (Refer
guidelines for selection of faculty as detailed in Section 4.0 of this document) and
necessary changes if need be, should be made in subsequent training programmes.

“OISD hereby expressly disclaims any liability or responsibility for loss or damage resulting
from the use of OISD Standards/Guidelines.”
Sr.Number:OISD/DOC/2016/419

OISD – STD – 176 Page No. 27


SAFETY HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT TRAINING FOR
EXPLORATION & PRODUCTION (UPSTREAM) PERSONNEL

Attainment of SHE Objectives

The impact of the training programmes on the performance standards of the organisation
and attainment of tangible results with respect to SHE should be evaluated.

7.2 TECHNIQUES

i) Participants’ Reaction

Typical course review / participant reaction forms for evaluating training courses are given in
Annexure I to III which should be filled in by each participant at the end of training programmes
and the trainer or course director should make desirable changes / modifications in the content,
instructional techniques, etc. as required. In addition, the training department of the
organisation should also design a pre & post training follow-up questionnaire and obtain feed
back about on-the-job application of knowledge and skills imparted. The questionnaire should
be filled in by the participants immediately & at the end of programme and about three months
after the programme. It is recommended that participants’ reactions be kept anonymous to
obtain honest reactions. After attending the training course, the trainee should submit a brief to
the controlling officer about skills /knowhow obtained.

ii) Change in Participant’s Learning

The following guidelines should be used in assessing the extent of learning:

a) The learning of each participant should be assessed through tests so that quantitative
results are obtained.

b) A before-and-after approach should be used so that any change in learning can be


related to the training programme.

c) The performance of the trained group should be compared with that of a control group
comprising of persons not exposed to such training programmes.

d) The results obtained from these assessments should be analysed statistically so that
learning can be evaluated in terms of level of competence achieved.

iii) Change in Participant’s Attitudes

The following guidelines should be used in evaluating the training programmes in terms of
behavioural changes:

The technique of “Objective test” including rating scales, disguised information quizzes,
questionnaires, etc. should be used. Guidelines for preparing objective tests are given in
Annexure V. In addition, interviews, projective techniques and behavioural observations are
also recommended.

A statistical analysis should be made to compare the performance before and after, to relate
the changes to the training programme. A control group should be used for this purpose.

Typical format for evaluation is given in Annexure VI.

This evaluation should be made by one or more of the following groups (the more the better):

1) The person receiving the training (This appraisal may be called “self-assessment”),

“OISD hereby expressly disclaims any liability or responsibility for loss or damage resulting
from the use of OISD Standards/Guidelines.”
Sr.Number:OISD/DOC/2016/419

OISD – STD – 176 Page No. 28


SAFETY HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT TRAINING FOR
EXPLORATION & PRODUCTION (UPSTREAM) PERSONNEL

2) The person’s superior or superiors;

3) The person’s subordinates;

4) The person’s peers or other people thoroughly familiar with his or her performance.
The evaluation should be taken up three months after the training programme,
which is considered a reasonable period to reflect the behavioural changes.

iv) Change in Job Performance

The following general approaches are recommended for obtaining data about job
performance and training effectiveness:

a) Direct assessment of the individual’s job performance by the immediate superior.

b) Comparative assessment of trained and non-trained persons by the Line


management.

c) Evaluation by those with whom the individual works.

The following key factors should be assessed:

• whether the person performs his job the right way (as per safe procedures) at all
times.

• whether the person responds correctly during emergency drill / exercises


consistently.
• The assessment should be included in the Training record of the employee.

v) Performance of Faculty

It is recommended that participant’s reaction together with Course Director’s assessment of


each faculty should be taken into consideration for evaluation performance of the faculty.

Typical Faculty Rating Sheet is given in Annexure-Iv for the use of Course Director.

vi) Attainment of SHE Objectives

The impact of training programmes should be evaluated in terms of overall Safety Objectives
achieved, some of which are listed below:

• Increased safety awareness;


• Reduction in accidents (both minor and lost time accidents).
• Reduction in number of near-misses,fires / explosions
• Reduction in release / leakage of hazardous materials
• Faster and correct response during emergencies
• Increased reliability of safety systems of main equipment and facilities
• Overall improvement in housekeeping and efficiency of the installation.
• Enhanced awareness towards Environment Protection & Occupational Health.

GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING OBJECTIVE TESTS


1. Use objective items e.g. Multiple-choice or True-False rather than essay questions.

2. Use items that are important in terms of the knowledge the participant should have.
Again items should reflect specific learning objectives.

3. Items should get at the participants’ understanding of material not just rote memory.

4. Keep the reading level relatively simple so that the participants’ scores reflect their
knowledge of the subject rather than their level of reading comprehension.

5. Make sure that there is only one correct answer in a True False or Multiple-choice item.

6. Use a random patern of correct answers: that is, do not have a set patern of correct
answers (e.g. Five True items followed by five False ones).

7. Vary the items in difficulty — a few relatively simple, a few fairly difficult — with most
somewhere in between.

8. Keep the items discrete: the answer to one item should not signal the answer to another, nor
should answering one item correctly be contingent upon answering a previous one.

9. Beware of giving clues to the correct answer. In a multiple-choice item, for instance, do not give
away the correct answer by making it clearly longer or shorter than the other alternatives.

10. Make responding to the items as simple as possible. Keep in mind that you are trying to
measure the individual’s knowledge of the subject and not the ability to follow complex
directions.
