DNV’s new courses have been accredited by industry skills body OPITO for more than 2,000 ESRs in the offshore industry.
The new courses will help ESRs to develop their effectiveness and confidence to independently manage their functions and powers, including investigating potential hazards, dangerous occurrences, complaints and the causes of accidents, as well as the inspection of installations.
DNV senior consultant Fiona FitzGerald said, "It’s been fantastic to hear from safety reps who, after attending the course, are returning and telling us stories of how they’ve been able to immediately apply the learning to their next trip offshore."
The next batch of courses has been scheduled to begin in August 2013 at DNV’s offices in Aberdeen, Scotland.
