IntroductionIntroduction

Megamas Training Company (MEGAMAS) was incorporated in 1989 to provide Health, Safety and Environmental and Emergency Response training services primarily to the Oil & Gas Industry.

Since 1992, over 60,000 delegates from various industries have received training at Megamas and ‘on-site’ training in countries around the region.


Regional recognition as a market leader.

In 1999, Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP) required the offshore training courses to be competency based and to a recognised International Standard.

BSP rational for these changes

– Regional Offshore training courses varied in content, duration and competency levels are mainly dependent on the training supplier and/or Operator.


Also the course had to ‘fit for BSP operational purposes’


BSP rational for these changes (cont)

BSP required a relevant third party external approval of the ‘new’ standard

ISO QMS certification inadequate alone

BSP sought to ensure certificate recognition therefore providing transferability, value and cost saving

Implement the most up to date training standards ‘Best Practice’

Move to recognising training standards not training centres

MEGAMAS selected the OPITO standards, as they met most of BSP’s requirements:

Mature standards that carry Global oil and gas industry recognition

The standards are competency based, they are reviewed, updated, driven and approved by the industry

The standards are externally verified via a rigorous and transparent auditing process

OPITO standards have a proven history of success

Travel to/from offshore installations

Respond to helicopter emergencies

Prepare to work

Maintain safe operations

In order to gain OPITO approval for a ‘new’ standard BSP (industry) had to explain why the standard was required.

In November 1999, Megamas and BSP jointly developed the ‘new’ standard based on the UK BOSIET competency framework incorporating BSP’s operational requirement for traveling offshore by boat.

OPITO approved “custom award” standard belonging to MEGAMAS (copyright), driven by industry (BSP), fit for tropical operations.

The development of the Travel Safely by Boat StandardThe development of the Travel Safely by Boat Standard

In tropical regions, helicopters are used to transport personnel offshore, however, boats are used far more frequently, risks of injury are increased due to the lack a competence. This issue had to be addressed as fatalities had occurred around the region.

Due to BSP operational requirements, a new unit of competence had to be included in the standard

Unit 1 Travel Safely By Boat

Element 1.1 Prepare To Travel

Element 1.2 Travel To and From Offshore Installations

Element 1.3 Respond To Boat Emergencies

Legislation and enforcement differences exist between different countries in the Asia Pacific region.

The Tropical BOSIET standard is generic with regard to legislation. Country legislation or best practice are explained in this section.

A generic HSE MS is explained, competency of personnel in safety critical roles, and the role OPITO are explained.


The National Oil and Gas history and relevant operational issues e.g Permit to Work, are explained in this section

Personnel swing rope/basket transfer exercises closely supervised by MEGAMAS instructors.

– Swell 0.5m to experience rise and fall of the boat transfer simulator and advised as to the safest time to transfer.

– Swell 1.5m the delegate decides when is the safest time to transfer.

This section has proved to be extremely successful as offshore workers with many years of experience have gained skills to enable a safe transfer.

Current situation and hopes for the futureCurrent situation and hopes for the future

MEGAMAS has given the TBOSIET / TFOSET and Travel Safely by Boat Standards to OPITO, we believe OPITO is in a better position to manage the standard on behalf of industry.

If driven by the industry, these standards provide immense cost savings, and may eventually become a regional or even global requirement for the industry operating in tropical regions.
