Amtek has successfully updated the Shell Haven e-learning induction system, creating new content to run on the 'FLEXeLEARN' e-learning platform used across the Shell UK IT environment.

Trevor Hughes, Operations Support Technologist at the site commented: "Shell Haven Oils Site has been using a computer based safety induction learning system solely developed and installed by Amtek Learning Systems since 2000. However, in late 2007 following a number of site changes and developments in Shell's Health, Safety and Environmental initiatives, the time was right for a substantial update.

"Amtek were asked to review the new requirements combined with the Shell Group's IT supported software to produce a new fit for purpose induction system capable of processing up to ten new persons to site at one sitting. The new system provides site inductions for Contractors and Tanker Drivers plus a training package for the site's Authorised Applicants, a pivotal position in the site's Permit to Work System.

"The new induction and training system required significant new video, schematics and a completely new voice-over undertaken successfully with site staff feedback and integrated with ongoing operations. It was commissioned in mid 2008 and is managed on a daily basis by the Site's Security staff.

"Amtek Learning System's management of the project was a total success. The new facility has been both cost effective and easily upgradeable to cater with future changes in HSE requirements and initiatives."

Amtek's Managing Director, Graham Meek, added "We are delighted to add the skills for development within the FLEXeLEARN environment to our capabilities and look forward to using this technology to meet future customer needs"
