Technical Skills :  An External Transit Center (ETC) HSSE Supervisor/Coach must be a seasoned and experienced HSE professional with not less than 5-years professional safety experience in oil and gas, hospitality, education, construction, energy or transportation industry. A deep knowledge of the SCiN COVID-19 Combination of Controls and a drive to support the External Transit Center (ETC) users in order to ensure that they are fully aware of the requirements to maintain and operationalize the controls will be an enabling advantage.

Key Upskilling Dispositions Are:

• HSE Coaches must undergo Coaching, Engaging Differently and Effective Report Writing refresher training
• All Coaches must be fully resident in the ETC and observe all the COVID-19 protocols themselves. However, they are expected to ‘patrol’ the ETC to ensure compliance of residents with the COVID-19 Combination of Controls for COVID-19 (COoCO).
• They must be especially visible – observing operationalization of CooCO at key transition points / where there is risk of compromising the “bubble” and ensuring that everyone - themselves, the Medic, hotel staff and security personnel, primary and secondary logistics drivers etc. comply strictly with the COoCO.
• As discrete observation is key, the use of Coaching and Engaging differently techniques with respect for people are key considerations for achieving successful behavioral interventions. With emphasis on understanding and taking learning from weak signals such interventions must be documented and reported by the ETC Coaches to the ETC Project Manager and team. This reporting is in the spirit of learner mindset, with sustainable actions taken to prevent reoccurrence of these mistakes or failures; it is believed that behavior will change and the robustness of the COoCO will be achieved.
