Dangerous Goods by Air – Offshore Helicopter Operations

Introduction 

Part 1, Chapter 4 of the ICAO Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (ICAO-TI) and Subsection 1.5 of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations require that initial and recurrent dangerous goods training programs must be established and maintained for all personnel involved in the transport of dangerous goods by air.

At offshore locations and ships with a helideck, Helicopter Landing Officers, Helicopter Deck Assistants, and staff, involved in the helicopter administration and handling of passengers, must be competent to perform any function related to the transport of dangerous goods for which they are responsible, prior to performing any of these functions.

This must be achieved through training and assessment commensurate with the functions for which they are responsible. Such training must include:

General awareness/familiarization training — Personnel must be trained to be familiar with the general provisions;
Function-specific training — Personnel must be trained to perform competently any function for which they are responsible; and
Safety training — Personnel must be trained on how to recognize the hazards presented by dangerous goods, on the safe handling of dangerous goods, and on emergency response procedures.

This also applies when no dangerous goods are carried.

Transport of Dangerous Goods on Offshore Support Vessels

Introduction
One of the requirements in the International Maritime Dangerous Goods code relate to the training for shore-side staff involved with dangerous goods. This training is mandatory and may be audited by the competent authority. Persons which didn't receive trained may only operate under the direct supervision of a trained person.

Shore-side staff also includes offshore based personnel such as roustabouts, crane operators, materials co-ordinators and other persons involved in:

packing of dangerous goods;
marking and labelling of packages, containers and tanks;
packing of containers;
unloading and loading of vessels; and
the preparation of dangerous goods documents.

In addition to the existing Internet based training “Dangerous Goods by Air – Offshore Helicopter Operations“, SCS Training & Consultancy developed an Internet based E-learning for the transport of dangerous goods on offshore support vessels. This training complies with Part 1, Chapter 1.3 of the IMDG code and is available in English, Dutch and Portuguese.

Course Objective
The objective of this course is to train relevant staff in the understanding and application of the provisions of the IMDG code, so they are able to safely and efficiently perform their role in the transport of dangerous goods by sea on Offshore Support Vessels.

Course contents
As required by the IMDG code, the training program addresses the following categories:

General awareness training;
Function specific training (e.g. loading and placarding of containers); and
Safety training.

Course program
The training comprises 11 modules, covering the following subjects:


Module	Contents
1	General introduction
2	Introduction to dangerous goods
3	Classification
4	Dangerous Goods List
5	Packing
6	Testing of packages and tanks
7	Marking and labelling
8	Documentation
9	Stowage and segregation
10	Use of containers
11	Emergency procedures

Tests
Each module is completed with a test, which contains multiple choices, true or false, drag and drop or other type of questions. The test score is saved in the students test result bank. Wrongly answered questions may be repeated, but will not be taken into account for the test result. If the test result for a particular module is not sufficient, the module will be repeated and a new test will be issued. In this case, the result for the second test will be taken into account for the total test result.

Certification
Upon completing the course and obtaining a positive overall test result, a certificate will be issued and send by e-mail to the training administrator of the company. This certificate has a validity of 2 years.

Vervoer Gevaarlijke Stoffen met Offshore Support Schepen

Vervoer Gevaarlijke Stoffen met Offshore Support Schepen

Vervoer Gevaarlijke Stoffen in de offshore industrie

Introductie

Sinds 1 januari 2010 kent de IMDG code de verplichting dat walpersoneel (waaronder ook moet worden begrepen personeel dat zich aan boord van offshore locatie bevindt) een opleiding moet volgen die in overeenstemming is met hun werkzaamheden en verantwoordelijkheden betreffende het vervoer van gevaarlijke stoffen.

Het betreft hier onder meer de opleiding van personeel dat: betrokken is bij:

het verpakken van gevaarlijke stoffen
het merken en etiketteren van verpakkingen
het beladen van containers
het laden en lossen van schepen.

In navolging van de al bestaande Internet training “Dangerous Goods by Air” voor helikopter handling crew heeft SCS Training & Consultancy een bewustwordingscursus ontwikkeld die via het Internet online kan worden gevolgd.

De cursus is specifiek ontwikkeld voor de doelgroep en richt zich op het vervoer van gevaarlijke stoffen met offshore supply schepen. De lay-out en inhoud van de cursus (afbeeldingen, voorbeelden) is gebaseerd op offshore operaties waardoor een en ander goed herkenbaar is voor de deelnemers.

Doelstellingen

Na het volgen van deze cursus wordt de deelnemer geacht:

op de hoogte te zijn van de principes van de regelgeving;
te weten wat gevaarlijke stoffen zijn en hoe ze te herkennen;
op de hoogte te zijn van de basisvoorschriften van indeling, verpakking, etikettering en documentatie en
in het bijzonder de voorschriften te kunnen toepassen voor het vervoer van gevaarlijke stoffen met offshore supply schepen..

Inhoud van de cursus

Zoals vereist in Hoofdstuk 1.3 van de IMDG code omvat deze cursus de volgende onderdelen:

Algemene bewustwording;
Functie specifieke opleiding (bijvoorbeeld het etiketteren van containers)
Veiligheidstraining.

Deze onderdelen zijn samengevat in 11 modules.

Toetsing en Certificering

Iedere module wordt afgesloten met een korte test, waarin de kennis van de cursist wordt getoetst.

Kandidaten die de cursus met voldoende resultaat (een gemiddelde van 70% of meer) afronden ontvangen een certificaat dat 2 jaar geldig is.
