SIGTTO Working Group

SIGTTO working group (WG) for competency assurance for key staff involved with LNG operations (Human Factors) was established at the 64th SIGTTO General Purposes Committee (GPC) meeting in September 2011.

The WG first met in December 2011and has had three further meetings since then. One of the principal tasks identified for the WG is to create guidelines entitled Competency Assurance for Key Staff involved with LNG Operations.

The aim is to create aquality training regime based on the existing SIGTTO competency standards dealing with LNG, LPG and Steam. Such a regime will require independent third party verificationof training establishments and systems.

The WG has made good progress inclarifying its objectives and has produced a sample training record book which maybe made available in electronic format.

The Key Staff Competency guidelinesare being developed by the WG with the aim of submitting them for approval tothe 69th GPC in March 2014 and having the publication available by mid-2014.
