More information about the NOGEPA 2.15 Management of Major Emergencies (Formal Assessment)

The delegate will be assessed during no less than 3 control room simulations during which the delegate has the role of OIM. During these simulations, the delegate can be confronted with a class A, but at least one class B and one class C type of emergencies.

The Command Centre simulations will consist of class A, B, and C types of emergencies, where these emergencies are classified as:
A. Major Emergency that is readily controllable if managed appropriately.
B. Major Emergency which has the potential to escalate if not managed in an effective and
timely manner.
C. Major Emergency that is uncontrollable and will eventually escalate leading to
the abandonment of the installation.

The delegate will have no prior knowledge of the content of the simulation. Prior to taking this Formal Assessment, the delegate is to provide written evidence of being qualified to act as an OIM and has had a leading role in maintaining the emergency preparedness on an offshore mining installation.

The assessment may take 2-days:

• Day 1 (optional) is to be used for the refreshment of memory, practice, and familiarization with
  the facilities and scenario. In case the Formal Assessment is taken directly following
  course 2.14a the delegate may directly enroll in Day 2.
• Day 2 is the day of the Formal Assessment to conduct at least 3 control room simulations
  per delegate.
