[comprehensive] For that red tooling

On the day of March 2016, Wujiang, a security engineer of the Kuwait Crude Oil Handling Project Department of the Ten Construction Company, is still somewhat paralysed.

On that day, he went to the on-site office of the Pentair Petroleum Engineering Co., Ltd., a general contractor in the United Kingdom. A serious person walked across from him and looked up and down. In English, he asked, "Which company are you from? After KOC (owner) : Was KOC approved?"

Wu Jiang replied politely: "I'm from sinopec. Not yet."

When the person came, he was immediately angrily accused: "Why not wear this tooling!"

The incoming person is the engineer responsible for the construction of the PMC (Project Management Consultancy). Wu Jiang was only a short time before coming to Kuwait and was also the first time to deal with PMC staff. This unexpected way of seeing Wujiang was overwhelmed. He had no choice but to promise to go back and replace this red tooling.

The red tooling brought to Wujiang is far more than this one. At the various security conferences that followed, the “Blue Wizard” was often surrounded by a room with “red flames.” He had been fidgeting for this, and curious people often asked him why he wore blue work clothes. On several occasions, he was even refused to attend the meeting.

In December 2015, Wu Jiang and the other eight colleagues came to Kuwait's project department for the first time. At that time, there was no camp, no canteens, no materials, no manpower, and everything needed to start from scratch. In addition to this unskilled English, I encountered a lot of Indo-Pakish and Filipino English, making all my work more difficult. Even so, Wu Jiang and his colleagues have never been beaten. They always greet one another with passion. However, it was frustrated that Wu Jiang was ordered to take off the red tooling that symbolized the professional qualification of the safety engineer. Safety Engineering graduated from university and did six or seven years of safety management work. He was actually treated as a counterfeit product!

However, this is an international rule that must be complied with when entering the international market.

In international engineering management, safety management is more stringent than in China. Owners of Kuwaiti projects require that safety engineers must have a bachelor degree or above in engineering, more than five years of work experience, and must obtain a NEBOSH or IOSH certificate. They must pass a general contract and PMC interview. The written test and assessment of the owner's KOC passed the three levels, and the owner approved the job before they could wear the red work clothes.

This red tool not only represents the identity of security management personnel, but also evaluates and recognizes the professional quality of personal security. A safety engineer who did not wear red overalls, the owner and the general package not only questioned their personal ability, but also questioned the safety management on the spot.

Wu Jiang secretly resolved that he must be approved as soon as possible, and put on the red overalls, just as a safety engineer.

The first pass must get the NEBOSH certificate. NEBOSH is a globally recognized occupational safety and health qualification certificate issued by the British National Occupational Safety and Health Examination Committee. Of the more than 100,000 applicants per year, only 5,000 can pass the exam. The direction is clear, but hesitation and tangling have come one after another. Can English training understand? Do you have time to study when your work is busy? The training fee is so expensive. Once it passes, will it not cost money? The more you think about it, the greater the pressure. Until one day in April, Wu Jiang uneasily dialed a phone call from a training institution.

The other person said that he had just started a training class, had already had a day of classes, and had nine days of classes, asking him if he would join halfway. Wu Jiang, who was still a bit hesitant in his heart, made a decision to fight. The work is getting more and more busy, and the more you drag and drop, the less time you have to learn. Besides, you don’t get yourself back to work earlier, and it’s even harder to work in the future.

The Wujiang who fell down one heart began to enter the countdown state. He works every day during the day and trains from 6 to 11 in the evening. All classes are taught in English. Classrooms try their best to listen and only understand 60%. If you look around, you can answer the teacher's question skillfully in English. Wujiang, who is in a hurry, can only use the lunch break and late afternoon to preview and review.

The training ended and it took more than a month from the exam. Three full English textbooks, more than a dozen exam papers and exercises in previous years, must be read before the exam. He took Superman's patience and worked for more than 15 hours a day. He insisted on 40 days and added up to 1,000 pages of teaching materials. He finally finished watching.

The end of the training, taking the exam at the end of May, results in August. No one thought that the Chinese young man who dared not speak in class because of poor English had actually taken the first place in the class. To this end, the training center also sent a special message to the project department. He became the first person to hold this certificate.

Getting a certificate is only the first step. There are three rounds of interviews and a written test waiting for him. He only rewarded himself with a good sense, and he entered the rhythm of working and studying for 15 hours a day.

The foreign security officer recruited by the project department is interviewed by Wu Jiang. When someone meets the experience of KOC approval, he is interviewing and learning from others. Sometimes he discusses with the person who participated in the interview. With the help of work, Wu Jiang learned a lot of professional knowledge. Plus daily work has been repeatedly approved by the General Assembly and PMC, the interview passed smoothly.

In October, the written tests and interviews of the KOC were quickly put on the agenda. The more the examinations were approaching, the more uneasy the heart of Wu Jiang was, because if it failed, he had to wait another six months. For this final stage, Wu Jiang spent all his spare time on learning norms, learning program documents, and collecting KOC's interview materials.

On the day of the KOC interview, he came to the examination room alone. Wujiang had to return to the front desk because of an error in the room number written on the interview notice. The office building of KOC was very large. When he found the meeting room for the interview, he was only a minute away from the interview. According to the KOC rules, late arrivals are not allowed to attend the interview. Wujiang was shocked and sweated.

After the interview, the examiner of KOC congratulated him on the spot. Although the results need to be announced two weeks later, Wu Jiang knew the result early because of his outstanding performance. The process was very thrilling and the result was bland.

Two weeks later, Wujiang finally put on the red tooling he had always dreamed of. This is a milestone in his personal career.

At the end of 2016, it should always be the invitation of the United Kingdom to send a special oil engineering company, Wu Jiang and two colleagues took part in its 2016 contractor security summit held in Dubai. As the HSSE manager of the Ten Construction Kuwait Project Department, Wu Jiang, one of the three contractor representatives, made a topic statement entitled “Cross Fire – Risk Identification and Control”.

Patefar has organized contractors' safety summits for three consecutive years. This summit has more than 180 contractor representatives from nearly 40 countries and regions. In the speech seat, the gentle Wujiang, with a steady speed and calm tone, used his unremitting efforts to win this stage for himself and for the Ten Construction Company and won applause.

Wujiang, which participated in the construction of overseas projects for the first time, is like a sponge. He desperately absorbs the water for his own growth and draws on the benefits of the company's safety management. He is trying to connect himself with international standards while also trying to make the company The safety management is in line with international standards. At this security summit, the Ten Construction Kuwait Crude Oil Processing Project Department won the 2016 annual 50 million man-hours safety performance trophy and certificate issued by the PAT Act.

When they first arrived in Kuwait, Wujiang visited a camp of a company and found an English sentence printed on the back of their work clothes. The effect was: This project is the best project in my life. I feel very honored and use it as a legend.

Wu Jiang said that every time I think of this sentence, my heart will have a lot of warmth and energy. Then, in the month of safe production, he made the sentence on a drinking glass and sent the cup as a souvenir.

Those cups with company logos, project names, KOC icons, personal names, and English are deeply loved by everyone, especially foreign employees. Because it is the desire of both Wu Jiang and his colleagues to merge into the team and grow together with the team. (Ten Jian Wu Cuilian)
