Supervisory Safety in Construction - e-learning
The Group HSSE department continues to look for opportunities to improve the delivery of training to ensure all
personnel, regardless of their location have access to the required training to ensure they continue to work in a
safe and healthy environment.
In 2012, there were a number of developments in e-learning such as travel induction for personnel who may have
to travel to Nigeria to work on behalf of the Group. The Group HSSE department produced an online e-learning
induction that gives personnel the information they need to know if travelling to Nigeria. Importantly, the induction
makes them familiar before they travel with the procedures to be followed before, during, and after a visit. Other
travel e-learning inductions are planned for early 2013 for Brazil and Angola.
Further modules that have been produced include Supervisory Safety in Construction, this covers two parts;
• Part one: Management Activities.
• Part two: Common Workplace Hazards.
Both of these modules have a number of units covering all aspects of construction.
Further developments for 2013 will be to introduce these and other internal and external training into one Learning
Management System (LMS).
