PTTSB Signs New Permit to Work (PTW) Programme Contract with PCSB

Posted date: 25 April 2021

A virtual signing ceremony between PETRONAS Technical Training Sdn Bhd (PTTSB) and Upstream HSSE, PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd (PCSB) was held on 20 April 2021 to commemorate the continuation of PTTSB-PCSB strategic partnership in the delivery of PTW Level 2 and Level 3 (New and Refresher) competency training programmes.

As PETRONAS’ technical learning solutions partner, INSTEP has closely collaborated with UHSSE on Permit to Work (PTW) competency training since April 2018, in which INSTEP has been appointed as the training provider for PTW Level 2 and Level 3 training programmes.

PTW is an essential HSSE training programme that certifies PETRONAS staff and contractors to be competent in commissioning any inshore or offshore work which can be identified as potentially hazardous. However, the Movement Control Order (MCO) announced on 18 Mar 2020 had put all physical training on hold, including PTW programme delivery to all Upstream staff and contractors.

Realising the importance of PTW programme to ensure safety and operational excellence, INSTEP has swiftly collaborated with UHSSE to react to this unprecedented situation by having PTW training programmes being delivered via Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT).

The new PTW programme contract was signed by PTTSB Chief Executive Officer, En. Idris Ibrahim, and Head of UHSSE, Datuk Joseph Podtung. This signifies the trust in INSTEP as a preferred solutions partner in technical training for UHSSE PCSB.

‘The delivery of PTW training programme via VILT has enabled us to continue upskilling our technical workforce and we are pleased to see the work being carried out safely by the contractors and staff in day-to-day operations,’ said Datuk Joseph Podtung.

‘This strong partnership between INSTEP and UHSSE is an avid demonstration of Innovate Now and Courage to Act, in which the team was willing to challenge the new norms and take calculated risks in progressing over perfection,’ said En. Idris. 

The singing between Datuk Joseph Podtung and En. Idris Ibrahim marks the official virtual delivery of PTW training programmes to all staff and contractors.

As learning and development is the core of our business, we always put Customer Focused in our way to continuously upskilling technical workforce virtually in the midst of pandemic crisis, because we care about your technical competencies.
