F abricom Offshore Services are always looking to best align the business to the ever changing market conditions in the oil & gas sector and as the business expands, the number of HSEQ engineers and inspectors have increased to meet the growing demands of the business. To ensure that employees make a maximum contribution to health and safety, FOS have introduced arrangements to ensure that they are competent for the role they provide. This means more than simply training for FOS. The company’s approach to training, learning and competency management involves a planned and systematic review of skills, knowledge and experience, strengths and areas for development for all their workforce (staff and contractors); mapping these against the current and future requirements of their projects and the business, and translating this information into individual (and where appropriate) collective training and development action plans. In addition, FOS uses relevant industry led body competency frameworks, e.g. Engineering UK Competency Specifications, to align all learners to a standard skills and knowledge model, creating a common focus in all engineering and technical roles. This strategy was developed to ensure that all training and learning activities remain as effective as possible over time and is how training and competence assurance is managed within the HSE management system. In partnering with suppliers, Fabricom Offshore Services operate an approved suppliers list to cover all materials, service suppliers as well as fabricators and inspection agencies. The business’ procurement process ensures that levels of accreditation are related to the goods or service supplied. FOS use FPAL accreditation as the first point of call for offshore fabrications and equipment suppliers and in the absence of this, and for the approval of lower criticality product, QA and Procurement departments perform both financial and technical audits on their suppliers. When working with suppliers, once on their suppliers register, regular reviews are carried out by FOS’ QA and Procurement “FOS are always looking to best align the business to the ever changing market conditions in the oil & gas sector” HSE INTERNATIONAL 33
