THRIL Certificate Programs Awarded Certification
and Registration Maintenance Program
Points by the
BCRSP, CRBOH and the ABIH
Oilfield Safety Practitioner and Oilfield Safety Specialist
Offer Essential Safety Training to Achieve Competency
Calgary, Alberta, - October 21, 2009 - Gemini Performance Solutions Inc.
(Gemini) and EHS Partnerships Ltd. (EHS) announced today that the Board
of Canadian Registered Safety Professionals (BCRSP), the Canadian Registration
Board of Occupational Hygienists (CRBOH), and the American Board of Industrial
Hygiene (ABIH) have awarded Certification Maintenance and Registration
Program Points (CMPs) for two competency-based certificates, the Oilfield
Safety Practitioner (OSP) and the Oilfield Safety Specialist (OSS).
THRIL (The Health, Safety, and Environment Resources iLibrary), which
has been established to provide a path towards incremental learning, consists
of the Core, Elective, and Enrichment course series. The OSP certificate
requires successfully mastering ten hours of training time in the Core
course series. Upon receiving the OSP certificate, the OSS certificate
will be issued by successfully mastering twelve hours of training time
in the Elective course series.
The OSS certificate program represents a minimum standard in occupational
health and safety due diligence training for all oilfield employees. It
offers a framework for ensuring employees receive the essential training
required to achieve competency. The THRIL programs have also been designed
to lead towards a recognized certification and provide an opportunity
for certified health and safety professionals (CRSPs and ROHs) to easily
and inexpensively obtain compulsory certification maintenance points to
preserve their designations.
Glyn Jones, Partner at EHS stated, “It is our vision that students
completing these certificate programs can continue on in their occupational
health and safety training. To that end, we have also applied to the University
of Calgary, Continuing Education Department to have the programs of study
accepted as seminar credit towards a University certificate in occupational
health and safety”.
Kim Adolphe, Gemini President and CEO commented that, “This is
the first opportunity for employees working in remote sites and in the
head offices to get a formal grounding and certification in health and
safety training. Due diligence is also simplified through our LMS which
provides online management and tracking eliminating manual input and reducing
administrative overhead.”
