Series of Process Training Programs Help Mold

Process Men into Better Refinery Operators


The Process Department's 1978
training effort is focusing attention on
new or recently employed as well as
on the more experienced process
men. Training programs scheduled
throughout the year vary from theore-
tical courses in the classroom to the
more practical on-the-job sessions in
the many aspects of operating our
complex refinery. Tailor-made pro-
grams such as Onsiites, Offsites and
Utilities Operations as well as Panel
Operations are being updated and
scheduled in the program.
As part of this Process training pro-
gram, twenty-six new employees in
the Fuels and HDS Division recently
received the "Onsites Advanced I"
program as the first group scheduled
in the overall 1978 effort.
To prepare for this responsible job
of operating our refinery, the trainees
were first introduced to various refine-
ry processes in the Refinery Basics
Course late last year. Besides giving
them a broad understanding of the
refining industry, these men got the
opportunity to see process units in
operation and to observe process men
at work. Their training also included
participation in a series of fire train-
ing sessions conducted at the Com-
pany's Fire Training Facilities.
Following this initial introduction to


refining operations, the trainees were
rotated to different units; eighteen
trainees in the Fuels Division, and
eight in the H.D.S. Division to work

named Mechanical Superintendent of
the Slagen Refinery. From 1961 to
1963, he held the same position at the
Esso Chemical Plant in Stenungsund,
Sweden, advancing later to Opera-

Plant Manager. In 1965, John joined
Esso Pappas in Thessaloniki, Greece,
as Assistant General Manager of the
Petroleum and Chemical Manufactur-
ing Facilities and was named Gene-

Project. Before coming to Aruba in
1974, John had been Manager of the
Rotterdam Refinery of Esso Nether-

in different atmospheres and cultures
and where he had the opportunity to
be an integral part of the business

Twenty Men ReceiveTraining
In Heavy Rescue Operations
To Respond in Emergencies
From February 15 through Februa-
ry 22, a 48-hour rescue training cour-
se was given to eighteen employees
and two members of the Aruba Go-
vernment Fire Brigade. The course,
which consisted of special instruc-
tion in all phases of heavy rescue
operations, was conducted by a three-
man training team from the Exxon
USA. Bayway Refinery at Linden,
New Jersey. The instructors Ri-
chard S. Jennings, Joseph M. Maho-
ney and William C Hayes, are mem-
bers of the Bayway Rescue Team.
The Bayway Team has provided res-
cue instructions to other Exxon U.S.A.
refineries and has previously partici-
pated in a number of international
rescue competition matches held in
the U.S.A.
The Lago employees, who partici-
pated in the training course, form the
nuclues for membership in Lago's
new Aruba Lago Emergency Rescue
Team ALERT to be formed soon.
The rescue team will consist of two
squads of eight to ten men each.
These men are receiving intensive
training in first aid techniques, fire
fighting, and light and heavy rescue
operations, and will be ready to res-
pond to any type of emergency invol-
ving rescue operations in the Lago
concession.
ALERT members will conduct their
own meetings and full-day training
sessions once a month in the refine-
ry, where they will try to create real-
life emergency situations. These prac-
tice sessions will keep the team bet-
ter prepared for any life-saving si-
tuation that could arise.
Lago is purchasing specialized res-
cue equipment which will be used by
the ALERT members for training pur-


poses and in actual rescue opera-
tions.
The formation of ALERT is another
step in the company's continuing ef-
fort to keep Lago a safe place to
work. During the past two years La-
go has provided concentrated training
for its employees in basic first aid,
use of breathing apparatus and basic
fire fighting. These training pro-
