2.0 INTRODUCTION

Training will be conducted at all levels in accordance with job requirements. Records of the
requirements and fulfilment of training activities and inductions will be held and coordinated by
TECHINT site HSE manager of the project.

HSE training requirements will be identified as the gap between what an individual needs to
know, in order for work to be performed safely, and what he actually knows (due to training /
qualifications / previous experience).

Training will typically focus on how something should be done, i.e. individuals will gain necessary
competence and the organization will help maintain control. Awareness programs will aim to
provide background on why something should be done, i.e. they will help to generate a strong
HSE culture within the project.

To provide information, instructions and training, TECHINT, Contractor and every Sub-
Contractors will be put in place this specific HSE Training Plan for their workers, on the base of
minimum HSE training needs, with the scope of familiarizing personnel with the rules to enforce
in order to prevent injuries/accidents occurrence and allow staff work competently and safely in
the tasks allocated, to increase efficiency and employee job satisfaction.

The TECHINT Site HSE Manager has the responsibility to organize and plan, with the support of
the Training supervisor the HSE induction course for all the workers of the projects and specific
training for supervisors, HSE officers, emergency team and critical works or activities.
