Rig Platform Environment Course: Platform or Location Arrival

In the Platform/Location Arrival Procedures module students will become familiar with correct procedures and important information when gathering to board the rig. The unit will cover the proper use of rig walkways, handrails, baggage handling, and sign-in procedures. Students will also learn the importance of treating the rig as their home by being exposed to preparation for extended stay and appropriate personal items to bring aboard. The module will also cover site-specific orientation and necessary precautions.

Wellsite Environmental Protection: Overview

The Environmental Compliance Overview module serves as a general rubric for measuring compliance with environmental protection regulations. By the end of the module, students will better understand how to evaluate compliance with regulations and will be familiarized with many of the regulations themselves.

Wellsite Environmental Protection: Waste Management

The Waste Management module will cover how to properly store and minimize waste. To ensure that the wellsite environment is protected, employees on an instillation must be aware of their responsibilities to correctly handle waste created on the rig.

Wellsite Environmental Protection: Spill Reporting

In this unit students will learn the proper methods for responding to and reporting on events or situations that could compromise the wellsite environment. While no one plans for there to be a wellsite accident such as a leak or spill, it is nonetheless important to understand the procedures for handling these types of situations if they occur. Each rig has specific policies in place for responding to disasters, and this module is not meant to replace these. Rather, it serves to emphasize the importance of general attentiveness when on the jobsite and to introduce response procedures common to all wellsites.

Marine Debris: Marine Debris

In the Marine Debris module students will become familiar with both the identification and correct procedures for reporting debris offshore. Despite both domestic and international efforts for minimization, marine debris has increased in the form of common domestic materials to discarded fishing gear and even abandoned industrial equipment. This unit will allow students to become familiar with regulatory policy and also help establish general awareness for a problem requiring adequate attention for any offshore instillation.
