INTRODUCTION

Not only will a new coat of paint make a structure look fresh, updated and well-maintained, it will also protect the surface underneath the coating. Despite a history of painting jobs being low on the priority list and practitioners being regarded as mere ‘brush hands’, an industrial painting career now requires fully-trained personnel who can run compressors, blasting equipment and paint spraying devices with due regard for regulations and the environment. Blaster/sprayers could find themselves working in a confined space to coat the inner surface of a storage tank or they may get to blast clean a helideck on an oil rig in the vast open spaces of the North Sea. Wherever the work takes them, industry is turning more and more to trained blaster/sprayers to provide corrosion resistance and essential safety features in environments under extreme exposure. However not all blaster/sprayers are trained or assessed to a consistent level and it has been difficult to provide on-the-job experience for personnel to hone their skills. The OPITO Blaster/Sprayer Level 1 Training Standard (and its accompanying OPITO Blaster/Sprayer Level 2 Competence Standard) provides a structured training and assessment programme embracing the essentials of the blaster/sprayer role. This standard includes on-the-job workplace experience tasks for personnel before undertaking the Level 2 competence assessment. The blaster/sprayer’s route to achieve OPITO training and competence certification is comprised of the following stages: The Blaster/Sprayer Training and Competence Levels

Level 1 The Initial Training Programme: Delegates successfully completing the Initial Training Programme will be awarded an OPITO Level 1 certificate; this entitles the delegate to progress to Level 1 (WE): Workplace experience tasks

Level 1 (WE) Workplace Experience Tasks: Level 1 (WE) specifies the series of workplace experience tasks which the candidate will be required to complete in order to gain relevant experience in the workplace. Each task must be logged in a log book provided by the Training Provider.

Level 2 Competence Assessment: Level 2 specifies the assessment process and criteria for the candidate to demonstrate competence in the role of a Blaster/Sprayer. Successful candidates will be awarded an OPITO certificate of competence.

Note: An experienced Blaster/Sprayer can opt to take Level 2 assessment without completing Level 1, providing they have verifiable evidence of blasting/spraying experience. The flow chart on the next page illustrates the routes required to achieve OPITO training and competence certification.

SECTION A BLASTER/SPRAYER TRAINING PROGRAMME

A.1 Target Group

Blaster/Sprayer Training presents the core blasting, painting and spraying skills required by personnel who want to work as an industrial blaster/sprayer. Newcomers to the trade will be required to take the full course at an OPITO approved training establishment. On-the-job training and assessments will continue with project placement. The training programme could also serve as a useful refresher course for experienced blaster/sprayers who want to test their knowledge and skill before being assessed against the OPITO Blaster/Sprayer Competence Standard (related document).

A.2 Delegate Pre-requisites

There are no pre-requisites required for Blaster/Sprayer Training.

A.3 Physical & Stressful Demands of the Initial Training Programme

Training and/or assessment activities contained within this Standard may include physically demanding and potentially stressful elements. All personnel who participate in such activities must be physically and mentally capable of participating fully. OPITO-approved Centres are therefore required, as a minimum, to ensure that prior to participating in practical exercises the delegate or candidate provides written confirmation that they deem themselves physically and mentally capable of undertaking all aspects of the training or assessment. Centres must also make the delegate/candidate aware that they must immediately inform the Centre staff if this capability changes – at any time prior to, or during the programme. The training establishments should also ensure that delegates have an appropriate medical screening relevant to the discipline being undertaken. For example, questions about breathing problems and allergies should be asked before a delegate can come into contact with blasting/spraying materials. Delegates/candidates must be advised that they are required to declare any current or pre-existing medical conditions which may be exacerbated by, or impair their ability to complete, the training/assessment programme. Should this be the case, the individual may be required to provide an authentic medical certificate issued since any identified medical condition was diagnosed. The OPITO-approved Centre shall keep a record of the delegate’s/candidate’s declaration of fitness in accordance with their document control policy(s) or procedures. This information, along with summary details of the type of physical activities the


© OPITO


delegate/candidate will be asked to perform, will be given to delegates/candidates by the OPITO-approved Centre and, if applicable, to their sponsoring company as part of the joining instructions. The responsibility for declaring any known current or pre-existing medical conditions that could have adverse effects to the individual’s state of health while undertaking the training and/or assessment activities lies with the delegate/candidate and/or company sponsoring the delegate. Where doubt exists regarding the fitness of any delegate/candidate, the OPITO-approved Centre should direct the individual to consult a medical officer familiar with the nature and extent of the training. Note: Practical exercises should be designed and delivered solely to meet this Standard, and must not place on the delegates/candidates any physical or mental demands other than those required to meet the Standard.

A.6 Delegate Performance Evaluation

Delegates attending the Level 1 training programme will be given a series of explanations and demonstrations which will identify what they are expected to know and do in their role as a Blaster/Sprayer. This will be followed by practical exercises which will allow delegates to demonstrate their skills, knowledge and understanding of the blaster/sprayer role.

Delegates will be given a written, open-book test or series of tests to test their understanding of the knowledge elements of the Modules (specified in Section A.5). The test must run for a maximum of one hour. The written tests must incorporate a balanced mix of the following question types. a) Multiple choice b) True/False c) A small number of questions that require written answers. A pass mark of 80% is required. There are also modules which contain practical components in which the delegates will be expected to take an active part. Delegate performance in these practical exercises will be evaluated against the learning outcomes specified in Section A.5. Delegates must be informed of the results of the evaluation. If required, and time permits, extra coaching may be given to delegates by the training provider to enable them to reach the standard which leads to the award of a certificate. However, the time available during a programme may be limited and it should be recognised there may be occasions where other arrangements need to be made for further training. If any delegate fails to meet the standard, in the opinion of the training providers and after reasonable tuition, the entire Level 1 Initial Training Programme must be repeated for the delegate to be awarded the certificate.

All practical exercise and test documentation completed by the delegates must be retained by the training provider for audit purposes.
