A recent Tank Inservice inspection achieved the following results:
• Reduced emissions
• No man entry into Tank
• No loss time incidents
• Well trained team to recognize issues and stop work
• Award received on our approach to safety regarding the project
The “knowledge and ability” of FTI personnel has been broken into,
❖ Qualifications: Essentially NDT method-based certification mainly provided through ISO 9712
examination and training.
❖ Experience: Continued direct (or related) experience in the relevant inspection method.
❖ Competence: Specific inspection related knowledge provided through in-house training and
assessment against strict criteria.
❖ Certification: Based on demonstrated and auditable evidence of qualifications including
trainings, examinations, experience and competency.
FTI can focus training activities more towards meeting our specific client needs whilst still meeting the
requirements of ASNT and /or PCN.
In addition to mandatory training and examination, FTI provides a continuous in-house module-based
training program where staff skills are continually upgraded and or refreshed. The internal training
modules are mainly focused towards the in-service inspection methods and systems provided by FTI
including the deployment and use of bespoke inspection equipment. Where a new or modified piece of
equipment is to be used, the inspection crew would be brought in for familiarization. Annual training
reviews are conducted by the training manger in conjunction with Human Resources (HR) where a yearly
plan is drawn up to meet company needs as well as providing an individual growth / development plan.
Assessment of project performance regarding Skills, Qualification and Training requirements is given in
given via various means within the system
❖ Client Feedback
❖ Weekly Audit Report
❖ On Site Peer Surveillances
❖ Post Project Debrief with Site Crew
❖ Post Project Debrief with Client
❖ Post Project Data and Report review by project management and level III
It should be noted that process includes positive feedback as well as personal skill shortfalls and can be
used to speed up personal development of an individual.

Within FTI, the following training is conducted.
❖ NDT Method Based Theoretical and Practical knowledge-based training performed internally
and / or externally which may/ may not lead to formal qualification such as ISO 9712/ PCN.
❖ Inspection Method Based Training such as Corrosion Mapping or SRUT/PAUT/AE which is
performed in addition to the standard NDT Method training rather than instead of. This training
would cover the practical application of NDT to meet the various inspection requirements.
❖ Equipment Based Training (including Software) is provided to ensure the operators are familiar
with the operational requirements of new or updated equipment.
❖ Refresher training requires that individuals be brought back in from time to time to upgrade
and renew existing skills.
❖ Practical on-site training where individuals are mentored by experienced personnel during site
work. Where the person is suitably qualified and has had the necessary training, this can involve
the person conducting specific inspection functions under the direct supervision of the project
approved leads. This does not impact on the integrity or performance of the task being carried
out.
An annual training review is conducted by the training manager defining the training objectives for the
company as well as for each individual technician. An annual personal plan for each individual shall be
drawn up ensuring upgrading of skills and personal progression whilst still maintaining existing skills
(refresher training).
Competency assessments shall be conducted at the end of each training session (other than on-site). This
can be in the form of a successful task completion; successful completion of test / training samples OR
being witnessed during the training session. Requirements for formal NDT based training will differ where
external examination (ISO 9712 / PCN) is mandatory.
Training of our staff is a continuous process. Accurate records are maintained of competencies and
experience. Storage Tank Integrity and safety is at the heart of what we do.
Whilst our technicians are all ASNT/PCN Level II Qualified in conventional NDT methods, as part of our on-
going commitment to the technicians is that they will enjoy the support and on-going training from our
Level 3’s, learning our scanners, our techniques (inspecting through wraps etc.) and working with mentors
from different divisions, allowing and encouraging our employees to grow, to learn and to maintain
motivation. This allows FTI to truly offer a MULTI-disciplined and fully competent NDT Technician.
Our technicians are the face of FTI and to ensure our clients receive the best available support and that
inspections are carried out to the highest standard, we invest heavily in their careers, continual
development is a fundamental part of FTI’s infra-structure.
By investing in our technicians and our equipment and techniques, we are confident that when we commit
to a client, we do so with absolute certainty that we will make a difference. We ensure that the
inspections/services we carry out, will be done to the highest standard, but always with a view to finding
a more optimum way to perform an inspection, write a report, reduce shut-downs or to even develop
equipment for a particular challenge within the plant.
FTI undertake continual staff monitoring and development to ensure we remain industry leaders.
