Training to inspect
ModuSpec has carried out over 5000 inspection surveys world wide. ModuSpec also holds workshops in rig inspections. Rig Inspection Workshops introduce oilfield staff how to perform a structured inspection of rigs. By having more trained eyes on site, more potential safety and operational issues can be identified. Once identified, these can be removed.

Training to inspect
WHY do we need training? ModuSpec are still finding serious safety issues when doing inspections and surveys. HOW we do it? By showing the candidates where to look? WHEN do you inspect? Every day, always and everywhere!

Training to inspect
The Aim of the Rig Inspection Workshop (RIW) is:

To have the candidates visually inspect a rig, independently. To enable the candidates to carry out inspections of critical areas. To ensure they inspect to international rules and standards. To be able to evaluate maintenance standards on the unit.

Training to inspect
The RIW core is to:

Ensure internationally recognised standards of safety and inspection are understood. Ensure that the maintenance of equipment is satisfactory to reduce failures and down time. Give understanding of the requirements for observation of equipment and operations. Provide an introduction to well control equipment maintenance. Introduce the safety implications of electrical equipment on the rig site.
