A mobile app designed to give oil workers access to training and certification records has been download by half the North Sea offshore workforce since its launch last year, according to training body Opito.
Its Train-R app has been used by over 11,500 workers since its introduction in September 2014.
The app provides remote and flexible tracking and planning of training certification. It provides offshore workers with information on their personal Opito training records through the Vantage system.
Around 76% of the UK offshore workforce is employed on a contracting basis, which means workers rely upon notifications from employers and paper-based training records to track training records and renew them on time.
Opito UK director James Hamilton, said: “Mobile technology is helping to empower the North Sea industry and makes it easier for individuals to ensure their training records are accessible and in date.”
