Objective: Through a combination of theory and practical training, this course provides participants with the necessary knowledge on how to perform rescue from enclosed spaces.

The Norwegian Labor Inspection Authority has made major changes to the regulations. People who work in tanks and closed rooms are the biggest difference that the regulation "Work in tanks" has fallen away. This is replaced by section 29 of the regulations «execution of work», which states that all work in closed rooms shall be performed «without danger to life or health». A simple requirement that gives the employer a great deal of responsibility.

New SOLAS requirements: Exercises in closed rooms and rescue, as well as portable gas measuring equipment.

Applies to: All ships covered by SOLAS and all high-speed vessels, mobile offshore drilling units and dynamically positioned vessels

Our courses are in accordance with SOLAS-IMO requirements and the Norwegian Labor Inspection Authority - Execution of work

The definitions of a cramped space vary from country to country, but the usual criteria usually include:

- Is not designed for continuous stay of employees
- Has entrances or exits that are small or difficult to access
- A room that is large enough that you can enter it completely and perform the work tasks you have been assigned
- Limited air circulation

Content:

- Knowledge of public laws and regulations
- Know which constituents a safe breathing air contains

Objective: To give the person who is to work with a traverse crane knowledge about safe use, daily control and maintenance as well as competence to avoid accidents and incidents.

The authorities set requirements for basic safety certification of persons who are to operate bridge and overhead cranes. The requirements include both theoretical and practical training

G4 Bridge and Traverse Crane Basic course consists of modules 2.7 and 3.7. To complete the course, you must take and pass a theoretical exam.

Proper use of overhead cranes is of great importance for the safety of crane operators and other personnel who participate in lifting operations. Incorrect assessments can have major consequences and lead to serious injuries to the crane driver, other personnel as well as equipment and surroundings. Positive attitudes towards safety are therefore important during training.

The crane driver training for G4 consists of five modules:

- Module 1.1 working environment, responsibilities and consequences. *
- Module 2.3 G11 Lifting gear (strap and sling).
- Module 2.7 G4 bridge and overhead crane
- Module 3.7 Basic practical training G4
- Module 4.7 Practical driving training G4
- Practical Final test G4

* Module 1.1 is common to machine, forklift and crane. If you can not document that you have module 1.1 from before that is not older than 3 years, this must be taken again.

Module 4.7 can be completed in a company using a sponsorship arrangement. If you do not have the opportunity to do so, you can participate in one of STQ's practice courses.

Content:

- Introduction with requirements for the driver
- Applications for overhead cranes
- Accidents with bridge and overhead cranes
- Construction of different types
- Electrical system on bridge and traverse cranes
- Safety switches
- Steel rope / block
- Certification / documentation
- Inspection and maintenance

• Identify key principles of effective cold-calling

• Enlist the tips to master cold calling

How to great in the new world.

Courage is the ability and willingness to act in spite of fear. Many of us avoid talking about bias, racism, and white privilege because we are afraid. We are afraid of not knowing what to say; afraid of being judged, or afraid of the change these conversations may produce. To have a courageous conversation about race is to engage in necessary dialogue despite fear.

Authentic conversations are the first step toward personal awakening and creating an environment where meaningful change can occur. Fear and anger are common examples of emotional feedback that can arise when faced with unfamiliar or uncomfortable topics. Finding the courage to acknowledge those emotions is the first step. Engaging in open, constructive dialogue with people who may not share your views nor your life experiences is the way forward.

• How to prepare for a courageous conversation?

• What are the practical tips for conducting a courageous conversation?

• How to address conflict if it arises during the courageous conversation?

Presenting to groups is a regular part of many leaders’ responsibilities. You may speak at industry gatherings, leadership retreats, conferences, or staff meetings. Regardless of whether you’re presenting to large or small groups, your goal should be to deliver your message in a way that is engaging and interactive. Studies say that you have less than one minute to engage your audience before they begin to lose interest. And once you’ve captured their attention, you must continue to purposefully interact with them throughout the presentation. This course will enable you to enhance your engagement techniques which can be the difference makers that determine how focused, connected, and engaged your audience will be throughout your presentation.

• Identify the steps involved in planning for a successful presentation

• Recognize the importance and methods of practice

• Demonstrate the practices essential to boost your confidence while delivering a presentation

Being a successful virtual leader takes a lot more energy than a face-to-face leader. It is also important to keep each employee engaged in a “high-touch” environment. Leadership qualities such as communication, coaching, feedback, and professional development are important, yet it is how you deliver these qualities can be challenging. Virtual life has its pros and cons, hence it is important to have strong communication skills through effective virtual meetings that allow all employees to contribute. 

• Identify ways to create a high-touch environment

• Enlist the elements of a successful virtual environment

• Demonstrate leading change in a virtual environment

• Determine factors in creating successful virtual teams

Microaggressions are one aspect on the spectrum of racism. They are interpersonal, everyday occurrences that have a significant impact.

Understanding the macro effects of microaggressions, and how to address them, is a great place to start.

• What is a microaggression and examples?

• What are the macro effects of microaggressions?
