He became the Technical Authority in Lifting in SSB. The existing training center was disqualified and a new trainer was approved. This new trainer was supposed to has facilities for proper training while the existing one does not. Then all personnel involved with lifting have to be re-trained including Supervisors and foremen that have been working for years. And they have to be trained from scratch i.e introduction to lifting. Thousands of workers were re-trained by that new trainer. The other funny part is that the new trainer does not have any crane in the training center to assess the trainees. Assessment has to be done offshore and of course the assessors have to be paid to do the assessment offshore. As the existing contracts does not include the requirement of these extra trainings, SSB paid millions for contractors to train up their crews.
