12 Nominations, Confirmations, Amendments and Cancellations

system.
12.1 PDO principles: Learning & Development event nomination and attendance
 All types of Learning and Development events for PDO staff must be included and agreed as part of
every individual’s Learning and Development Plan for the year. Without this agreement in advance,
no courses or assessments requested by a delegate should be authorized by a Supervisor or Line
Manager, unless it meets the Company’s business needs and would adversely impact the Company’s
operational capability if it were not attended. The same principles apply to the provision of HSE
courses and assessments. i.e. after an individual is hired by the Company and has completed their
initial HSE training and assessment, all other HSE training and reassessments required can be
identified from the individual’s annual learning needs.
12.2 PDO staff - Conventional nominations

All other HSE Training course and assessment nominations must be made in the following way:
 Go to the web address of the appropriate contracted HSE Training Services Provider(s), using the
electronic links on the HSE Training web page and consult the published schedule of HSE courses for
PDO staff.
 Having selected the most convenient date and place for the specific course or assessment required,
download the nomination form, available from the HSE Training Service Provider’s web site, again
using the electronic links on the HSE Training web page.
 Complete the required details in full forward the nomination form your line manager for the approval
and copy PLD8 team.
 After getting the approval from your line manager and PLD8 team forward the nomination form to
the approved training provider.
12.3 Nominations for PDO new hires.

 Sometime before a new hire’s first day with the Company, the Line Manager of a new hire will know
their generic role (i.e. non-supervisory, Supervisor, Manager or Executive) and the date of their
starting employment.
 Once the HR team have informed the new hire’s Line Manager of their starting date, the Line
Manager should make arrangements to discuss any equivalent prior HSE training with the new
employee on their first day. That discussion will establish if nominations for assessments Core HSE
Training courses should be made. The nominations should be made without further delay, for the
earliest dates that can be obtained on the published HSE Training Schedule.
Revision: 2.1
12.4 PDO staff - Confirmations of nominations

 Within 24 hours, the appropriate Company contracted HSE Training Services Provider must contact
the delegate and the nominator, by e-mail or telephone. They will:

o Send you a reminder of the pre-requisites for attending the course or assessment you have
booked.
12.5 PDO staff - Cancellations or Amendments

 Cancellations by / from PDO or its staff
o To avoid financial penalty to the Company, a clear 48 hours’ notice must be given to the

place booked, by the delegate or his nominator.
o Cancellations should preferably be made using e-mail, but may be accepted by telephone
initially, supported by a confirmatory e-mail as soon as possible afterwards. It is important
that whoever makes the cancellation makes a record of the date and time the initial
cancellation was made, irrespective of the method used. This information and the method
used should be sent by e-mail to PLD8 team.
 Cancellations or Amendments by / from HSE Training Services Provider

o Cancellations or amendments to confirmations made by any one of the Company’s contracted
HSE Training Services Providers shall be notified to both the delegate and his nominator.
o Such cancellations or amendments shall be achieved by the most effective means of

communication available – i.e. Land-line telephone, GSM telephone or e-mail. The Contractor
shall make whatever arrangements are necessary to ensure a reception receipt is obtained
from the intended recipient(s) that clearly indicates the date and time the message was
heard/read.
13 Attendance and HSE Performance Records

13.1 ATP records
 ATP’s are required to maintain and report records of attendance and assessments to the PLD8 HSE
Training and Competence Quality Assurance team on a monthly basis, in accordance with the
requirements of PR 2010.
 These records are correlated against the compliance reports submitted to Contract Holders in the
case of contractors, and the PLD8 team in the case of PDO functions and Directorates, to verify the
claimed compliance.
Revision: 2.1
13.2 PDO Records

 Directorate and Function HSE Training Focal Points and HSE advisers shall maintain whatever records
of staff HSE Training course and assessments are necessary to provide an accurate HSE Training

International English Language Testing System (IELTS)

All candidates must complete four Modules - Listening, Reading, Writing and speaking - to obtain a band
score. All candidates take the same Listening and Speaking Modules. The Reading and Writing Modules differ
depending on whether the candidate is taking the Academic or General Training Versions of the Test.
The General Training version is appropriate for HSE Trainers, but the Academic version would also be
accepted.
Band scale
IELTS is scored on a nine-band scale, with each band corresponding to a specified competence in English.
Overall Band Scores are reported to the nearest half band.
The following rounding convention applies: if the average across the four skills ends in .25, it is rounded up
to the next half band, and if it ends in .75, it is rounded up to the next whole band.
The nine bands are described as follows:
9 Expert User Has full operational command of the language: appropriate, accurate and fluent with complete understanding.
Has full operational command of the language with only occasional unsystematic inaccuracies and inappropriateness. Misunderstandings

ATP Golden Rules
Rating Outcome Achieved

inadequate implementation of a system or procedures not being followed.
Minor NC Minor Non- Conformance. A judgment made by an auditor that the activities undertaken, and the results
achieved do not fulfil or partially fulfil the specified requirements of the audit criteria. Some
improvements are required to ensure the minimum requirements are being met.
NA Not Applicable. A judgement made by an auditor that the requirements of a particular audit criterion does
not need to be met, because of the nature of the client organization’s operations.
NV Not able to be verified. A situation where a relevant system procedure has been developed, but because
of the infrequent need to use the system procedure there are no recent records or other form of
verification available
OB Observation. A situation where the procedure has been fully met, but there is an area for improvement.
Table B: Corrective Actions - Priority Ranking Definitions:

Priority Definition
High Matters that are fundamental to the approval of ATP. The non-conformances to ATP Golden Rules
observed can seriously compromise PDO approval or success of the business activity and should be
addressed as a matter of urgency.
Medium Matters that are important to the HSE management system (of control?) or success of the business
activity and should be addressed as soon as possible.
