1) Orientation. Immediately upon joining a new crew, forming a new crew, or movinginto a new worksite area, geophysical personnel should be given an orientation toadvise them of all factors that may affect their personal safety and health. Trainingshould include hazards and PPE use and first aid, medevac procedures, companypolicies both contractor and client, governmental regulations, and hands on trainingfor the particular task: i.e. drilling. In addition, any pertinent regulatory, contractual orpermit issues that should be known before beginning work. Such awareness isequally important for visitors to the worksite. The crew should maintain trainingrecords.2) Safety Meetings. Regularly scheduled, well-organized and properly conducted safetymeetings should be held to discuss new issues that may have arisen during theprogress of the work. The crew should maintain reports of these meetings, includingattendance records. Frequent, short meetings of 10-15 minute's duration should beconducted to discuss specific hazards and accidents.3) Formal Training. Some jurisdictions mandate formal training in such issues ashazardous chemicals in the workplace and bloodborne pathogens. Some formaltraining, such as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and procedures for H 2 S, cansave lives.4) Competency Verification. Competency verification should be included to ensure thatthe hazards are understood and work can be performed in compliance with goodsafety practices and procedures.The timing of training events can be critical to improving safety and health performance.Sufficient time for training on geophysical crews should be part of the mobilization plan.1) Pre-Employment. Records of prior training should be considered in planning for newemployees’ training needs. Many companies utilize a “training passport” to documentemployee training.2) Induction/Orientation. Hazards and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should beunderstood before beginning work on a new job or job site.3) On-The-Job-Training. Coaching, the buddy system, and unsafe act reporting areproven methods that work very effectively.4) Formal Training. Regulatory training should be provided as required by law orcontract.5) Verification of Competency. Competency should be verified upon conclusion of thetraining. A fire drill is an example of a method of verifying competency.6) Safety Meetings. Safety meetings should be held for the crew at least weekly, andcrew safety committee meetings at least monthly. Daily tailgate meetings of 5-10minutes duration for all crews, i.e. survey, frill, recorder.7) Refresher Training. Some refresher training may be needed if the job task contentchanges or if new techniques, tools, equipment or Personal Protective Equipment(PPE) have been introduced.The location of training events can vary with job site circumstances.Page 36 of 136
1) The Worksite. Training can occur at the worksite where actual examples can beshown.2) The Crew Office/Shop/Loading Zone. Numerous crewmembers congregate justbefore work begins and at the conclusion of the workday, making it easy to conducttraining.3) Offsite. Offsite facilities tend to ensure attention and adequate visual aids. Offsitetraining is available in most areas, scheduling and course size limitations need to beconsidered.4) Headquarters. Corporate headquarters training can have a positive effect onawareness of top management commitment.3.7 Emergency ResponsePlanning reduces the potential for emergencies and their severity. Operators shouldprepare an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) during pre-survey planning. WhateverERP is generated, it must be consistent with ERPs that exist at higher levels and wherenecessary have references to them. Consider the following in developing theEmergency Response Plan:1) Events requiring emergency response during this project.a) Significant hydrocarbon spills.b) Other waste spills or environmental damage.c) Damage to wells, pipelines and other surface structures.d) Fires and explosions in base camp or the survey area.e) Medical evacuation.f) Severe weather such as lightning, hurricane, tropical storm, typhoon, etc.g) Earthquake and other possible natural disasters.Civil unrest.2) Resources, material and personnel required to recover from each of the above.3) Determine resource location and assign individuals with authority to accessresources on activating the Emergency Response Plan (ERP).4) If needed, make the Emergency Response Plan (ERP) a booklet, include maps ofthe prospect area, significant access, local hospitals, helicopter landing zones withsurvey coordinates, etc.5) Contact names and telephone numbers of key personnel from the contractor andclient.6) Define key steps and procedures needed to recover from these incidents.7) Assign an Emergency Response Coordinator for each work location.The Emergency Response Plan (ERP) should be posted at each notice board andcopies kept with every radio and vehicle. Emergency Response Plan (ERP) trainingshould be given to all inductees ducted at job start and at regular intervals thereafter orPage 37 of 136
