So what evedence is there in support of using this National Safety Passport EMSS Training method of training above others like CCNSG, ECITB, IOSH and SPA.
We have seen that it is:
- more flexibule
- supreemly cost effective
- Nationally and Internationally an excepted standard recodnised be the HSE
Example 1
Wilton Site (1 Engineer flying in from Aberdeen for emergency plant shut down requiring a safety passport). A qualified/experienced person not requiring 2 full days of basic health & safety training; rather a confirmation/validation to assure the client that the individual has a minimum standard of health & safety knowledge/understanding. The contractor company was unaware of the e-learning passport and used the conventional passport scheme. He was required to book onto the first available scheduled course and fly back to Aberdeen as the course date did not tie in with the shutdown causing additional flight charges.
A saving of £ 2,146.21 could have been made using the e-learning passport scheme
Example 2
BP (13 operatives based in Great Yarmouth requiring access to passport site in Holland with only a days notice). Unable to do 2 day conventional passport course due to time constraints. Couriered e-learning passport next day to Great Yarmouth, completed course in approx. 3 hours and client received emss passport cards next day in Holland at the BP complex for collection and were accepted on site without hesitation.
A saving of £ 10,437.13 was made due to the use of the e-learning passport scheme
Example 3
Corus Site, Port Talbot (3 engineers flying in from North America requiring safety passport for access). A qualified/experienced person not requiring 2 full days of basic health & safety training; rather a confirmation/validation to assure the client that the individual has a minimum standard of health & safety knowledge/understanding. Couriered e-learning passports to their hotel which they completed that evening, then couriered the emss passport cards direct to Port Talbot Site which were awaiting collection from the gatehouse on their arrival before 09:00am the next day.
A saving of £ 6,990.03 was made due to the use of the e-learning passport scheme
Summary:
Discussions are underway with a multi-national organisation supplying contract services to many major hazard sites globally who are looking to make savings in excess of £10million/year.
Imagine the savings your company could realise whilst exceeding your requirement to provide safety, health and environmental training complying with the Health & Safety Executive’s HSE INDG381 standard.
