Ensuring workplace safety and competence is a critical prerequisite for organizations seeking sustainable growth. However, this goal can be daunting, especially for employers in high-risk and safety-critical industries, who must safeguard people, assets, and the environment against various hazards.

To achieve this objective, organizations need a wide arsenal of resources, from employee training and support to up-to-date safety policies aligned with industry regulations and standards.

This is where RelyOn Nutec brings value as an end-to-end partner for companies in developing and maintaining a safe workplace. Its market-leading digital services offer clients a modular approach to managing safety across their business processes while minimizing risk and revolutionizing the way they track workforce safety, compliance, and competence. This complements the global footprint and the SME knowledge and experience across markets.

Committed to workplace safety, RelyOn Nutec’s offerings are built for the needs of the entire workforce, from frontline operations to back office.

“We are committed to delivering consistent and high-quality services in safety, survival and skills training and added state-of-the-art digital capabilities such as e-learning, software applications, and simulation technology for our clients across the globe,” Marco Vanin, senior vice president at RelyOn Nutec.

RelyOn Nutec has a vast e-learning library that comprises over 250 off-the-shelf courses categorized into different portfolios. Its business essential portfolio features over 40 titles that cover basic safety awareness topics applicable to most industries and generic modules that include anti-bribery and corruption, first-aid, and environmental awareness.

The renewable energy portfolio focuses on regulated courses specific to the wind and renewable industry and employs a blended approach with adaptive learning for theory and practical training. Oil and gas is RelyOn Nutec's legacy portfolio, featuring more than 135 safety-related courses that cover highly regulated OPITO courses and basic safety awareness courses—including benzene and nitrogen awareness courses— as well as industry-specific technical courses on lifting and other electrical and mechanical aspects. Similarly, the Maritime portfolio also has a set of common STCW courses and more industry-specific ones.

In addition, RelyOn Nutec has an industry portfolio for the common themes and safety concerns of other high-risk industries like construction and firefighting.

RelyOn Nutec’s cutting-edge e-learning courses are built in collaboration with its central digital team and a large pool of subject matter experts (SME). SMEs from various regions ensure that the courses cater to regional differences and provide the key inputs to develop a solid script implemented into e-learning by instructional and graphic designers. Before the course is released, the SMEs review it again for content accuracy.

To ensure an agile content development setup, RelyOn Nutec has strategically partnered with Area9 Lyceum, a leader in next-generation personalized and adaptive learning platforms.

“Our digital learning services are embedded in Area9 Lyceum's advanced AI-based learning platform, Rhapsode, for a transformative, personalized, high-impact learning experience,” says Vanin. “It is cloud-based, enabling a more agile content development setup.”

This helps the company to ensure the content is up-to-date and allows room for continuous improvement. RelyOn Nutec’s content team can monitor feedback from learners in real time for making fixes and releasing them quickly without the need to update new versions.

The efficacy of RelyOn Nutec's adaptive learning and training management services is exemplified by a successful client engagement story with a major E&P company.

Upon onboarding, the company’s workforce training coordinators and compliance manager seamlessly integrated with the client’s own training personnel to put in place a fully managed training management service for the client’s 350-strong workforce. Together, the team ensured all employees had the necessary skills, knowledge, and certification to stay safe.

The training management system was billed as one invoice, consolidating the cost of training, administration, and certification. This subsequently reduced the client’s costs and administrative burden of keeping its workforce competent and compliant, in addition to cutting down the training time by up to 50 percent.

For the road ahead, RelyOn Nutec will be consistently investing in technology and strategic partnerships to up its ante. It is also expanding into electrical training (including high-voltage) and consultancy to further strengthen its position within the renewable energy space by acquiring an interest in Thomson Bridge, Australia’s leading provider of electrical skills and safety training.

Relyon Nutec UK Appoints Head Of Renewables to Drive Hydrogen Sector Growth

RelyOn Nutec UK (RelyOn), leaders in practical and digital training for traditional and renewable energy, promotes Helen Dunn as Head of Sector – Renewables, to drive sector growth in offshore and onshore wind, carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) and hydrogen.

In 2022, Helen joined the company as the Regional Solutions Manager, bringing with her over twenty years of experience in the safety sector, specifically supporting customers in the renewables and industrial services industries. As the Head of Sector - Renewables, her main responsibility will be to expand RelyOn's customer base and service offerings within the rapidly growing renewable sector in the UK.

Additionally, Graeme Wood has also joined RelyOn as the Regional Solutions Manager. Over the past ten years, Graeme has collaborated with local colleges in Teesside to develop solutions for upskilling and reskilling individuals for new sectors. He has also played a key role in establishing the Teesworks Skills Academy, which supports the redevelopment of Europe's largest brownfield site.

Graeme's primary task will involve supporting RelyOn's broader business in the UK by creating solutions like Green Skills Boot Camps that directly address industry needs and challenges.

Both Helen and Graeme will be stationed at RelyOn's Teesside premises, which is already a well-established training facility. In 2023, significant investments are planned for this facility, further solidifying its position as the UK's largest Renewables Centre of Excellence. With over 1000 trainees visiting each month, the facility boasts specialized training equipment such as a 23.7m high wind turbine training tower and an open water boat transfer facility, specifically designed for renewables-focused training.

I’m delighted to be leading the renewables division at RelyOn.

“It is critical that as offshore wind, hydrogen and CCUS projects become part and parcel of our energy mix, we support the new or transitioning workforce to enter these sectors.”

“Teesside is soon to be home to the UK’s first major hydrogen transportation hub and is currently in the midst of a regeneration project that will see it become a hub for renewable energy – but it has an industrial background. It’s exciting to see that transformation firsthand. It’s a great time both in Teesside and in the UK for those looking to work or transition into the renewables sector and RelyOn is perfectly equipped to help businesses and individuals do just that.”

Lee Fenton, Commercial Director, said:

We are pleased to announce the promotion of Helen Dunn and the appointment of Graeme Wood in our Teesside office.

“This area plays a vital role in the UK’s energy sector and building a strong local team, supported by our wider UK team – and vice versa, is vital as the energy sector continues to transform.”

“It is critical that we minimise barriers to entry into the sector – regardless of whether it’s those with no energy experience, or those looking to transition. By having strategic locations in the UK’s main energy hubs, such as Teesside, we’re able to take our expertise and experience out to local colleges and other organisations, and to work with them to upskill local people ultimately keeping business within the region, creating opportunities for the communities in which we operate, and ensuring these areas reap the rewards available from this transformational and exciting industry.”
