and kick out at 3000 psi. The air pump should kick in at 2650 psi and kick out at 2950 psi.

86. Explain and show how to maintain the BOP handling system.

Ask the participant to explain how the BOP handling system works and how to maintain it. This
should include the load capacity, the type and operation of the system. Observe the participant
performing PMS tasks on the BOP handling system. This should include servicing the load cell,
lubricating the hoist mechanism and the track.

87. Explain and show how to perform routine maintenance on a forklift.

Observe the participant performing routine PMS tasks on a forklift. This should include
adjusting the brakes, changing oil, checking the prime mover, and inspecting the mast and
components for wear and damage. Visually check for hydraulic leaks and condition of wheels
and tires and steering mechanism. The forklift should be test run and all functions tested.

88. Explain and show how to perform routine maintenance on a mobile crane.

Observe the participant performing routine PMS tasks on a mobile crane. This should include adjusting
brakes, changing oil, testing slew bearing rocking/deflection and grease sampling, removing/replacing slew
bearing bolts for inspection, checking of boom winch lock-pawl, checking outriggers, inspecting wheels and
tires and steering mechanism. Visually check the engine. All functions should be tested. Ask the participant
to explain the hydraulic circuit on the hydraulic mobile crane.

89. Explain and show how to perform routine maintenance on a utility truck.

Observe the participant performing routine PMS tasks on a utility truck. This should include checking
and servicing the following: engine, brakes, transmission and differential, fluid levels, wheels, tires,
steering mechanism, body components and seatbelts. The vehicle should be road tested.

90. Describe the Preventive Maintenance System (PMS).

The participant should explain how PMS is structured.

Ask questions such as: "What are the primary reference documents for the PMS system?"
Maintenance Policies and Procedures (MPP) manuals.

"How are specific PMS tasks generated?" MPP manuals contain Equipment Maintenance Standards
(EMS). The EMS contains basic generic checklists and instructions for equipment maintenance. The rig
generates its own rig specific/equipment specific PM tasks based on the EMS.

"Explain what is meant by Critical, Major and Minor equipment?"

0 Critical equipment is a vital part of a safety or environmental system or a system that is
necessary for rig certification. Maintenance of Critical items is prioritized over other items and
has to be maintained in first rate condition at all times.
 0 Major equipment is not classified as critical equipment, vital to drilling operations, essential
equipment, and a major company investment greater than $10,000.
0 Minor equipment is not classified as critical or major equipment and less than $10,000.

"What would happen if a task is still pending at the end of the scheduled due-date?" It is
carried over and prioritized in the next maintenance period.

"What would you do if a completed task showed that remedial work was required?" Generate
a JCF for the remedial work.

91. Show how to use the computer.

Observe the participant starting a computer and opening Windows Explorer to access a file.
Ask the participant to create a new Word or Excel document, print and save it. He/she should
demonstrate how to log onto the local area network (LAN) if installed on his/her rig and transfer
files between different computers.

92. Show how to use the Property Symbolization System (PSS).

Ask a question such as: "What is an EFN?" Equipment Family Number.

The participant should extract the EFN, group and sub-group figures for key equipment using
the PSS book of codes.

93. Show how to use the Computer Aided Maintenance Management (CAMM) system.

Observe the participant logging on to CAMM. He/she should demonstrate how to create a new Job
Control Form (JCF), process and close an existing JCF. Have the participant open a JCF created by the
scheduler and print out the associated Preventive Maintenance (PM) task. The participant should extract
and print the scheduled PM tasks for the upcoming month and check for backlogged PM tasks. The
participant should do a history search on a particular piece of equipment.

94. Show how to use Standard Inventory Control System (SICS).

Ask the participant to find the SCN (IPMCatalogue Number) for a particular part. He/she should check
the stock status of an item and explain the minimum and maximum order point system.

95. Explain your role in training rig personnel.

Ask the participant to explain his/her role in training rig personnel. This includes providing guidance and
teaching subordinates. The participant should help others complete their modular training tasks and
develop day to day technical skills. For training to be effective some general guidelines are: 1) prepare the
worker by stating the job and finding out what he/she already knows, 2) presenting the operation by telling,
showing and illustrating one step at a time, 3) test their performance by having him/her do the job and ask
questions as the job is performed, 4) and follow-up on the job after putting him/her on the task. Check
frequently and encourage questions.

96. Explain your role in people management.

Ask the participant to explain his/her role in people management. This includes scheduling and
organizing personnel, working with other departments and leading by example.
Reference SFMT-MGT book.
97. Show how to make an efficient hand-over.

Review the participant's hand-over notes. These notes should be brief and concise. They should include
sufficient information for the 'relief' to carry on the job(s) smoothly. They should give a good overview of
what has been done during his/her time on the rig. The participant should take time to explain ongoing
operations, any special precautions, and/or any equipment out of service or malfunctioning.

98. Explain how to do a 'performance appraisal'.

Ask the participant to go through the Company's standard performance appraisal form and
explain the various fields.

Ask questions such as: "Why should there be three monthly reviews of objectives and
performance?" So that the person appraised can review his/her progress with the appraiser and
be given an adequate chance to improve his/her performance if necessary.

"Why is it important to have the employee's comments on the form?" To ensure that the
employee and appraiser agree on the issues addressed in the appraisal or to bring out any
contested issues (differences of opinion).
