The Transition to Safety Essentials Training
The Point Lisas Energy Association (PLEA) CEOs are currently in the process of transitioning the existing PLEA 10 Assessment Programme to the new and enhanced Safety Essentials Programme, managed by the Houston Area Safety Council. This upgrade is being implemented to ensure that contractor workers entering PLEA Member Company sites are equipped with modern safety knowledge, developed using adult learning theories and tailored to be relevant across all five generations in the workforce.
