| Abstract |
Interviews were conducted with onshore training managers in operating and drilling companies, plus training providers and trainees on current and likely future information technology (IT) products such as computer-based training (CBT) programmes. The survey revealed a heavy reliance on conventional instructor-presented training. Few IT applications were being used with the exception of videos. This situation is changing as 9 of the 15 oil and gas companies surveyed were considering or had purchased a CBT system for permits-to-work training. A majority of trainees that underwent CBT were satisfied with the speed and content of the training they received. In the total sample, of those who had experienced both CBT and conventional training, the majority preferred CBT as a highly effective means of delivering safety-related training. Although CBT is not appropriate for all safety-related topics, its ultimate success depends on a number of factors not all related to the specific technology. Among these: credibility of the system provider, system design, interest and motivation of trainees, and management commitment. |
