Day 2 - Dock Person-In-Charge Train the Trainer (Assumes Attendance at Day 1)
Whether your LNG, Oil, or HAZMAT facility has 1 Person-In-Charge or 100, you will benefit from this unique and informative course. You will receive the tools you need to train your Persons-In-Charge to meet the USCG's requirements found in 33 CFR 127 and 154. You will also benefit from expert advice that is second to none. The materials to be covered includes:
- A detailed description of the responsibilities of a Facility Person-in-Charge.
- A standard curriculum to use in your Person-In-Charge training sessions.
- Materials (workbooks, presentation materials, and tests) to use during your Person-In-Charge training sessions
- Certificates of Completion to use for your Persons-In-Charge, upon completion of their training programs.
During this course, you will have ample opportunity to ask questions concerning Person-In-Charge responsibilities and general Coast Guard regulations. You will spend valuable "hands-on" time customizing the training materials for your facilities and operations, and developing a training action plan. Upon completion of this course, you will have the knowledge and tools you need to conduct and document your own in-house training programs in compliance with the applicable US Coast Guard regulations.
Some of the specific topics that will be covered during this course include:
- Role of the Facility PIC versus the Vessel PIC
- Difference between a PIC and a tankerman
- Specific requirements for initial training and qualification of new PICs
- Minimum requirements for refresher PIC training and qualification
- Required evidence of designation for PICs
- Operator responsibilities and liability for PIC training
- Proper documentation of PIC training
- Frequency and scope of PIC training
- Important definitions in the US Coast Guard rules for Marine Transportation Facilities
- USCG policy letters applicable to Marine Transfer Facilities
Note: The Liquefied Hazardous Gas regulations in 33 CFR Part 127 require refresher training of all Persons-in- Charge every 5 years. This requirement was published on August 3, 1995. Any facility that promptly complied with the new regulations will be due to provide refresher training to its original personnel within the next year.
