Ropeology Geelong recently ran their first RTO course – a two-day hazard analysis training set (MSMWHS201, MSMWHS217 & MSMPER300 – Gas Test & Permit Issuer) for UGL supervisors working at Viva Refinery Geelong.
This recent two-day hazard analysis training course in Geelong, covering MSMWHS201, MSMWHS217, and MSMPER300, focused on Gas Testing and Permit Issuer roles for UGL supervisors at Viva Refinery. Designed to enhance safety and compliance within the refinery environment, the training emphasised the critical skills required for effective gas monitoring and permit management.
The course began with an overview of workplace health and safety regulations, including the importance of identifying and managing hazardous gases. Participants learned to conduct thorough gas tests using industry-standard equipment, enabling them to assess the atmosphere in confined spaces and other high-risk areas. The hands-on training component allowed supervisors to practise these techniques in realistic scenarios, reinforcing their understanding of the procedures.
In addition to gas testing, the course delved into the responsibilities of a permit issuer. Participants gained insight into the permit-to-work system, including the steps necessary to issue, monitor, and close permits safely. The training emphasised communication skills, as effective collaboration with team members is vital for maintaining safety protocols and ensuring that all personnel are aware of potential hazards.
The instructor fostered an interactive and engaging learning atmosphere, encouraging questions and discussions to clarify complex concepts. This approach helped supervisors build confidence in their roles and enhanced their decision-making skills in real-time situations.
By the end of the hazard analysis training in Geelong, participants left with a comprehensive understanding of gas testing procedures and permit issuance, better preparing them to uphold safety standards at Viva Refinery. Overall, the course successfully equipped UGL supervisors with essential knowledge and practical skills to enhance workplace safety and compliance in their supervisory roles.
