Aberdeen, UK − November 23, 2015 − People Factor Consultants Ltd (PFC), specialist in both technical and non-technical workplace safety and performance, has launched a unique, portable version of its high fidelity power distribution simulator.
The only one of its kind, the portable simulator was also designed by and commissioned to PFC and will play a fundamental role in the Aberdeen-based training company’s ability to take electrical safety training abroad.
“This new, portable version resembling our main simulator based in Aberdeen, includes a custom designed portable generator control panel and touch screen technology,” said Brian Crichton, technical director. “Whilst a previous software-based version existed, this new technology offers the user a hands-on experience when controlling the generation system on the simulator, and provides a far more realistic interaction whilst replicating the way in which electrical systems are controlled on modern installations.”
This advanced version of the original simulator now allows PFC to broaden the scope of safety training that can be delivered globally.
“At a time when the industry’s focus is shifting from the North Sea, it is vital that we can deliver the best possible electrical safety training anywhere in the world,” said Crichton. “The advanced portable simulator has already been utilised for several projects in Angola and our ability to use simulator-based exercises ensures our training courses are highly interactive whilst offering the crucial combination of technical and non-technical skills.”
As suppliers to a substantial number of the world’s leading oil and gas companies, PFC offers a portfolio of 15 technical and non-technical training courses, many of which are City & Guilds-accredited, as well as providing tailored training and consultancy services to high hazard industries on a worldwide basis. PFC leads the way in ensuring that all industries comprehend the importance of complementary technical and non-technical skills training.
