The Tank Storage Association has welcomed the Government’s Transport Decarbonisation Plan, saying industry is ready to “work together” in the drive to meet the UK’s net-zero goals.

In a written statement to Parliament, the Government said the plan would create economic growth, new industries and jobs and help the nation build back better and greener.

Commenting on the publication of the Transport Decarbonisation Plan, Peter Davidson, executive director of the Tank Storage Association, said: “We welcome the publication of the plan and stand ready to work in partnership with Government to ensure that our sector can fully support and lead on the innovations that will be necessary to meet the UK’s net-zero goals.”

“TSA members are a critical part of the supply chain ensuring existing and future products reach their customers. While the bulk liquid storage sector and associated logistics are already active in a number of areas that will drive success going forward, ultimately, investment and collaboration with Government and all partners will be pivotal as the UK transitions to a decarbonised economy.”

Transport is the largest contributor to UK greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), with road transport alone accounting for almost a quarter of our total emissions in 2019.

In a written statement, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps, said: “We must deliver a step change in the breadth and scale of our ambition to reduce transport’s GHG emissions to reach net zero.”

Committed to working together

John Reynolds, managing director of industrial safety provider, Reynolds Training Services, embraced the “high ambition” laid down in the Transport Decarbonisation Plan

“The transport sector and wider industries need to continue to adapt to ensure that we strive to meet the challenges that decarbonisation brings.”

Reynolds Training Services, he added, will “proactively support and adapt training” to ensure we maintain a safe working environment for all. “We look forward to continuing our own strong association with the TSA particularly in these leading aspects.”

The Government’s latest announcement follows March 2020’s, Decarbonising Transport: Setting The Challenge plan, which outlined a commitment to deliver transport’s contribution to carbon budgets to net zero across all forms of transport.

At Reynolds Training Services we know that no business, and no industry, can long survive in isolation.

We are all connected with our suppliers, partners, customers, and regulatory bodies. That’s why we offer a range of interlinked, complimentary services.

During our twelve years in business, the driving force behind everything we’ve done – and continue to do –  at Reynolds Training, is improving competency in our sector and making competency more of a priority.

Within the High Hazard sector we need to do everything to avoid loss of containment – that’s not only a legal requirement and a moral imperative, it’s also the basis of good, safe and profitable business.  Competence demonstrates our readiness to do whatever is needed to keep our workers, our sites, our environment, our customers and the public safe.

The simple fact is: More competent workers are more efficient and effective.

This is why we believe it is crucial to not only train people in competency, but to also assess their competency onsite.

It’s all part of what we call ‘Blended Learning’ which is delivered on your site, on our site and online. We take the decades of dedication and expertise offered by our staff at Reynolds, we add to that the real-world, hands-on experience offered by the resources at our state-of-the-art NCPM training facility, then we mix-in the best online training and competency tools with CALMcloud.

All of this combines to give the learners, the trainers and the employers a holistic 360° view, which helps to ensure there are no gaps in training and competence!

CALMcloud

Mindful of the complexities of monitoring the training and competency levels within an employer’s workforce – we have also developed CALMcloud, which stands for Competency Assessment Learning Management in the cloud.

This, simply put, is an online portal for managing competence. It is a platform created by trainers that addresses the problems many companies face in managing their employee and contractor training and occupational competence. CALMcloud is designed to encompass and track all your training – both online and onsite face-to-face training – as well as your competence assessment and CPD (Continuous Professional Development). It keeps an ongoing holistic record – all in one place – which takes away the guesswork and confusion of keeping records in different systems.

CALMcloud is also a fantastic tool for career development. CALMcloud is also a fantastic tool for career development. Roles can be assigned to individuals, populating their training needed with the agreed training and competence requirements.

The HSE has issued a safety alert after an HSE investigation of a failed marine loading arm (MLAs).

The safety alert is aimed at users and companies that service MLAs to ensure they carry out suitable and sufficient inspection and maintenance to help avoid similar incidents.

Evidence obtained during an HSE investigation of a failed MLA revealed concerns that not all components were being suitably inspected and maintained due to problems accessing the highest pivot joint.

The lack of lubrication of this greased joint presents a serious risk of the joint failing with the potential for complete collapse of the arm, leading to possible death, serious injury or damage to process equipment and subsequent loss of containment.

The theme for Apprenticeships Week 2021 is ‘Build the Future’ and that’s only right and proper, because building the future of industry is exactly what apprenticeships do.

At our new NCPM facility, the apprentices following our ‘Bulk Liquid Terminal Technician Specialism’ apprenticeship will benefit from the hands-on experience of using the state-of-the-art facilities in the UK’s first fully-operational tank farm and process plant training facility – further enhancing the real world immersive training experience we offer.

The Minister for Apprenticeships and Skills, Gillian Keegan, acknowledged how apprenticeships have helped business adapt and build during a difficult year. She said:

“Apprenticeships are a fantastic way to learn while you earn, opening up new and exciting career paths that can transform lives. It’s been a tough year for everyone, but we want the theme for National Apprenticeship Week 2021 to be a springboard to look ahead to how apprenticeships can futureproof workforces and boost careers.”

The TSA and Apprenticeships

As the recent TSA press release, addressed directly to those considering enrolling on an apprenticeship, put it: “ … the bulk liquid storage industry needs you. With unprecedented opportunities ahead, now is the time to join a growing and exciting sector and play a part in shaping the future.”

For a free copy of the TSA’s guide on Apprenticeships in the sector, click here. And, for a free copy of their Careers Guide, click here.

Here at Reynolds Training Services, we agree whole-heartedly with the Minister and with the TSA. We know that well-trained apprentices are making a fundamental difference to Britain’s industries.

Simply put, apprenticeships are our future!

Reynolds’ Apprenticeships in the Pipeline

Regarding the two cohorts already working their way successfully through our ‘Bulk Liquid Terminal Technician Specialism’ apprenticeship – Cohort 1 is progressing well! They are now at the stage where we’re starting to assess their competence from an onsite basis, and are pushing on towards their endpoint assessment in September 2021.

The learners of Cohort 2 have completed their understanding of the industry and are now focussing on understanding tank farms, underpinning this with site-based learning as appropriate.

We’re planning to get both cohorts back onsite at the NCPM in April or May, pandemic permitting, of course.

We’re proud to confirm that these learners haven’t let the pandemic stop them learning and progressing and becoming more than useful members of their teams at their respective sites.

Apprenticeships are our future

Such apprentices are very much the future of our industry!

Our programmes are all about building learners’ knowledge, skills and experience in a structured environment, utilising the process plant replicated environment and then supporting that with site-based activities and assessment.

When onsite, they get to work alongside more experienced personnel, this helps them absorb additional skills and knowledge which they can take back to their employers.

For us at Reynolds, it’s all about helping our learners to build a career.  It’s not just about training them for the job they have right now, but rather to equip them with the competencies they need for lifelong learning and improving.

Apprenticeships lead to lifelong learning

We always tell our learners: “Be the change. Learn to learn continuously.”

Because, our apprenticeship will lay the groundwork for our learners to go on and apply for Engineering Technician status, through the support and recognition of the professional institution, iCheme.

With iCheme, our apprenticeship graduates can then progress further up the professional pipeline, to become Chartered Engineers, scientists and beyond.

This long-term thinking is key to what we do, at Reynolds. We believe it’s all about building long term career pathways. With each new cohort of apprentices, we are given a chance to take our industry forward and prepare our learners to embrace the emergent technologies which will present new solutions and new challenges as we go forward a build a post-carbon future.

Are Apprenticeships your future?
