We have been working closely with the folks at Energy Services BC on a number of initiatives to help educate oil and gas contractor employees on some of the local issues in Northeastern BC. Aboriginal Awareness training is a subject that many in the region feel is an area for possible improvement. We have developed a short course and will make it available to all companies operating in the area.
For many service companies, Aboriginal Awareness training is simply a requirement of doing business in the North. Aboriginal Awareness training is one of the pre-qualification questions in ISNetworld for Cenovus (and possibly other ISN owner clients):
Rather than answer "No" to the question, instead enable this course in SAFETYSYNC for your employees and supervisors. The course is 29 minutes, divided into three lessons:
- Aboriginal Peoples and their Origins
- Civilizations, Cultures and Beliefs
- Politics and Economics
Each lesson is followed with a quiz which tests each worker's comprehension of the material (9, 15 and 18 questions respectively). As with all our courses, administrators have the choice to specify the pass rate, choose quiz questions, etc.
Please review the course if you feel it applies to your operations. You can either leave feedback after the quiz, or make suggestions in the blog for each lesson in the Company Administration portal.
