| Communication received from OLF:
"With reference to the "Mutual Agreement" between the United Kingdom (Oil & Gas UK), Denmark (NSOC-D), the Netherlands (NOGEPA) and Norway (OLF), regarding basic safety and emergency preparedness training, please find the "Memorandum of the Mutual Agreement" and the "Accepted matrix / overview" attached,
there is, according to OLF's position, no longer need for maintaining the OLF approvals given to basic safety training centres located outside of Norway.
Any OLF approvals given to basic safety training centres located outside of Norway are hereby withdrawn. The same applies for any approvals given by the Petroleums industry Center for Quality and Quality Assurance (PSK) performed on behalf of OLF. Hence, the "Mutual Agreement" is fully recognized by OLF, and thus, the term "OLF approved safety training center" is from now on only applicable to a safety training center approved by OLF (or by PSK on behalf of OLF) located in Norway." What do these changes mean when sending delegates to Falck Nutec training centres in The Netherlands? - Despite the immediate removal of OLF to all non-Norwegian training centres, Falck Nutec Rotterdam will have an extension on the withdrawal of this approval and will continue to deliver approved OLF training and certification until 1st January 2010.
