About ERGT Australia

Personal commitment to industry

The story so far

ERGT Australia is committed to helping improve safety performance in high-risk industries - especially the Oil & Gas industry.

ERGT Australia is a leading commercial training organisation providing emergency response and safety skills training to high risk industries. ERGT provides a professional, engaging and safe training service using simulated environments to develop skills and behaviours that address safety-critical industry needs.

We use our skills as a Registered Training Organisation to ensure compliance with competency standards, but our commitment to safety requires more than just compliance.

ERGT is committed to understanding industry’s needs and we are driven to go beyond the national competency standards to ensure that we develop the right safety behaviours and critical skills in our customers. We also work on the transference of those skills into performance in the workplace, which is ultimately the point of all training.

Our commitment is not a new thing. We have been working for the Australian Oil & Gas industry since 1994.

We have recently made another 35 year commitment with our new $18 million Oil & Gas Safety Training Centre at Jandakot, due to open mid-2012.

Our greatest commitment comes through the very personal obligation that we all feel – from myself as Managing Director through to our newest trainers – to lead by example in our own approach to safety. Every one of us learns more every day about how we can think and act more safely and how this in turn helps our customers.

We look forward to an opportunity to help you and your organisation in your drive to improve safety performance.

Glenn Iles

Mike Collister

Director of Perth Incident Management Training Centre

HSE Advisor

I started work at ERGT’s Jandakot facility in 1995 and was fortunate to move to our Perth CBD office three years ago. It has been greatly rewarding in my time at ERGT to work with a team of like-minded colleagues who enjoy training people to be safe in high risk industries. The team’s most recent achievement has been building ERGT’s Crisis / Incident Management product and services. I can only see many more exciting opportunities coming up for ERGT, our ability to be innovative and engaging is made easier when working with companies that are passionate about the safety of their employees.

My job is to keep our team and trainees safe. We have great systems, procedures, training and a highly skilled group of people at ERGT. My main focus is to foster our safety culture, without this everything else is a battle.

I also ask our team to remind themselves of their own reasons for being safe which is why we all have a picture of our loved ones in our personal Safety Books.

Steve Jeffrey

Andrew Sorenson

Senior Trainer

Trainer Development Manager

As a trainer across several courses, I have been given the opportunity to train within ERGT’s multiple sites and travelling to wherever ERGT’s clients’ need us to be. Taking students from one level of knowledge to the next is very fulfilling.

I have been involved with the ERGT for over 12 years, watching the company grow from four classrooms to the current 14 and eagerly await the opening of the new premises where we will have over 30 classrooms.

I joined ERGT in 2009 as a practical training officer and quickly moved on to becoming a full time trainer. In 2010, I was given the opportunity to take on a Lead Trainer role which was both challenging and rewarding at the same time. In 2011 I was given another opportunity; this time as Trainer Development Manager for multiple sites in Victoria. In the first three years with ERGT I feel I have been given great opportunities to grow both professionally and personally and with the support of the entire team, I have been able to make the most of those opportunities and have progressed further than I could have hoped.

Head of Training Operations

Customer Service Team Leader

Our training teams are from a diverse range of backgrounds and we are a committed group of people who have a passion for assisting people to be safer. Each trainer undergoes a robust development program to ensure training at ERGT is safe, enjoyable and meets industry requirements.

I am very proud of my team’s trainee support, safe culture, flexibility and teamwork.

I have been at ERGT for five years and I can still say I still thrive on giving the best service possible whether it is making clients critical last-minute courses happen or ensuring a new starter to the industry gets the as much information necessary to help kick start their career. Working in the Customer Service Team for a company that understands how important it is to stay flexible in such a fast paced industry makes everyday an exciting challenge.

Sally Micallef

Curriculum Team Leader and Curriculum Development Specialist

National Manager

The most important element to an effective continuous improvement process is our ability to work as a unit within the larger ERGT team.

We work collaboratively with other staff members to continually review and update course materials. Development of quality delivery, assessment procedures and documentation ensures our trainees receive the best outcomes possible.

ERGT Australia has something special. It’s what we are recognised for and what we are most proud of and it’s why we do what we do; It’s our strong belief and true understanding of safety behaviour combined with the way we work together with industry to help achieve safety outcomes. After four years of working as the Director of the Oil & Gas Safety Training Centre, I transferred across to Victoria to set up an Industrial Emergency Training Centre to service high-risk industries based on the East Coast utilising four major training centres. The opportunity to integrate ERGT’s culture, products and services into a new market is exciting and I look forward to the opportunities that lay ahead for us.

Ryan Cotterell

Garry Eglinton

Project Leader – Safety Leadership Programs

Associate Director of Incident Management For over 35 years I have been preparing, conducting and delivering training programs from professional Firefighting to Corporate Executive Management Teams.

In the 15 years I have spent in the Oil and Gas industry I have been closely involved in developing the Incident Response Competency Standards approved by ANTA (Australian National Training Authority) for the Hydrocarbon, Chemical and Refining Industries. More recently, at the new IMTC centre in the CBD, we have been able to apply this experience to industry training platforms such as OPITO (Management of Major Emergencies) and Corporate Incident Management programs for teaching critical decision making under extreme stress for major hazard facilities.

I have always enjoyed helping others develop and learn, so after spending over 10 years training and coaching technical skills for high risk work places, I have found that facilitating learning is a far more powerful strategy for long term personal development. Although our industry has an enviable safety record, we have reached a plateau and I believe that Safety Leadership Development is the next frontier for safety training. Recently, I have enjoyed the role of developing the CSTP and SSCP courses but feel that we have just scratched the surface of what can be achieved in helping our industry reach our goal of no more injuries.

CSTP

Common Safety Training Program

Core Streams

Common Safety Training Program (CSTP) is an industry initiative administered by APPEA. This initiative has recently become an industry mandate, as is the requirement for TBOSIET / BOSIET. As of the 1st of January 2012, Australia’s Oil and Gas industry has adopted CSTP as a core foundation of safety skills in the workplace. The aim is to ensure all personnel working in the Oil and Gas industry in Australia to have been assessed as competent against defined core safety units.

The CSTP program covers basic theory and exercises conducted over a 3 day period.

There are two pathways available to obtain a CSTP card:

The topics covered are:

1. Training for new employees

• • • • • •

2. Training for experienced workers

Safety Case and Safety Management Systems Working under an issued Permit Identification of hazards and risks Contributing to safe working practices Control of minor incidents Responding to an emergency

Corporate Incident Management Systems Duration: Various.

Course Aim: This course is designed for members of a Crisis Management Team that is managing the corporate response for an organisation during an incident through effective coordination of people, resources, financial, legal and stakeholder management.

Incident Commander Training Duration:

Course Objective:

3 or 4 days, depending on team size

Through instruction and practical demonstration of effective management of incident-related information, course delegates will demonstrate the ability to effectively manage the corporate responsibilities during critical events that may impact the company’s reputation, commercial viability or incidents that may incur significant liability. The training includes practical processes to define responsibilities, allocate resources and consider long term business continuity and recovery.

Course Aim:

22

This course is designed for Incident Commanders’ to be assessed in their ability to manage emergency incidents.

Course Objective: Leading an Incident Command Team requires not only sound understanding of incident management processes that apply to a major hazard facility, but real-time exposure to high-pressure scenarios where such processes can be practiced. The Incident Commander course exposes candidates to just such an environment, in a custom built control room simulator, where leadership of the command team must be demonstrated.

23

IM

Corporate Incident Management Exercises Exercises: The importance of organisation’s practicing their Corporate Incident Management plan cannot be overstated.

Personnel are able to consolidate their understanding of the plan, identify deficiencies and recommend solutions to further enhance the response to personnel directly affected by the event.

Practicing the Incident Management Plan is principally to ensure that it has the best and most effective procedures in place if an incident were to occur. The team must also take care of the organisation’s reputation and ongoing organisational sustainability; whether it is how they handle the media, the relatives, the environmental issues or the incident itself.

Experiential training builds trust and recognition between all participants from the site of the incident to the incident teams, external agencies, Regulators and Government Departments. It is a rehearsal for the ‘real thing’. Incident training should involve multi-level participation, ensuring that incident management team members partake in problem solving exercises and become familiar with their roles in a structured learning environment. The training will simulate a range of probable major accident events or high potential incidents.
