 Units of Competence - Roustabout Level

INSTRUCTIONS

Welcome to the Aban In-House Training Programme. This Programme is designed to be completed
at the worksite (On the Job Training – OJT). On receipt of this booklet, discuss the content with
your Supervisor.

Page 3 lists the 21 units to be achieved. These units are not set-out in any specific training order
requirement as rig operations will dictate what can be achieved practically.

Some Units are supported by the Aban In-House (OJT) Training Package. The QHSE Coordinator
should assist with the presentation of this package. There is a sign-off element section at the end of
this booklet.

Page 4 onwards itemises the individual elements of performance that must be achieved before
gaining one unit.

Example:

The 1st unit is entitled "Selection, Examination and Usage of Slings" (See Page 3).

Page 4 shows 6 elements that have to be achieved to complete the 1st unit.

Your Supervisor will be required to assess your competence for each element. As you achieve the
required level for each element the Supervisor would then initial and date that element.

On completion of all elements the Supervisor would then initial and date that unit on Page 3.

On completion of all units please send the booklet to the Training Dept. for registration, whereupon
it will be returned to you.

THIS BOOK IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
