More Locals Acquire Qualifications In Oil Shipping Industry

Seria - Brunei can now feel proud as more local people acquired qualifications in the various sectors of the oil and gas industry, a Radio Television Brunei report said yesterday.

Some 15 trainees from the Brunei Shell Tanker Sdn Bhd (BST) received their certificates yesterday after having completed their Standards of Training and Certification for Watch-keepers (STCW '95) and Pre-sea Safety Training.

The Maritime Training, which began last Monday, had four mandatory Basic Pre-sea courses that meet STCW '95 standard.

They were personal survival techniques, basic fire prevention and fire fighting, elementary first aid and personal safety and social responsibilities.

The MEGAMAS Company was incorporated in 1989 in Brunei. It is the first safety-training establishment to manage an integrated safety-training centre in the sultanate.

It was accredited by the ISO 9002, as a leading provider of health safety environment and emergency response training courses to the oil and gas industry and various government departments and agencies.

To date some 60,000 people from various industries in the region have received training from the MEGAMAS Training Company.  -- Courtesy of Radio Television Brunei
