With respect to partic-ular circumstances, lo

3、cal, state, and federal laws and regulations should be reviewed.API is not undertaking to meet the duties of employers, manufacturers, or suppliers towarn and properly train and equip their employees, and others exposed, concerning healthand safety risks and precautions, nor undertaking their obliga

4、tions under local, state, or fed-eral laws.Information concerning safety and health risks and proper precautions with respect to par-ticular materials and conditions should be obtained from the employer, the manufacturer orsupplier of that material, or the material safety data sheet.Nothing containe

5、d in any API publication is to be construed as granting any right, byimplication or otherwise, for the manufacture, sale, or use of any method, apparatus, or prod-uct covered by letters patent. Neither should anything contained in the publication be con-strued as insuring anyone against liability fo

6、r infringement of letters patent.Generally, API standards are reviewed and revised, reaffirmed, or withdrawn at least everyfive years. Sometimes a one-time extension of up to two years will be added to this reviewcycle. This publication will no longer be in effect five years after its publication da

23、s. Although it does include recom-mendations for training wireline personnel on general rig wellcontrol equipment and theory, it should be noted that the mainfocus for training should be those operations using a lubricatoras the primary well control mechanism. Wireline personnelclassifications to wh

24、ich this RP is applicable are the Helper/Assistant and Operator/Supervisor. This RP is intended for thedevelopment of training courses with well-defined curriculaand includes recommendations for testing to assure that a can-didate is qualified when he/she completes a course.The employer should maint

25、ain a record of the trainingwhich each employee receives in accordance with this RP.Each employee should be furnished documentation of thesuccessful completion of each level of training.1.2 POLICYThis RP may be used by a company or educational institu-tion to develop and conduct a qualification prog

26、ram as out-lined above. However, the Institute makes no representation,warranty or guarantee in connection with the publication ofany API specification, or recommended practice, and herebyexpressly disclaims any liability or responsibility for loss ordamage resulting from their use, for any violatio

27、n of any fed-eral, state or municipal regulation with which an API specifi-cation or recommended practice may conflict, or for theinfringement of any patent resulting from the use of an APIspecification or recommended practice.2 Guidelines for Course Curricula2.1 INTRODUCTIONThis section describes t

28、he knowledge and skills that shouldbe presented to the candidate through classroom lectures andhands-on demonstrations. Curriculum content is described ona general basis for each wireline crew member classification.Specific detail should be developed by each training organi-zation using the criteria

29、 contained in this section as a guide-line. A training program developed by a contractor oroperator should be directed toward the well control equip-ment and techniques most widely used in their respectiveoperations.Other organizations offering training programs shoulddevelop a detailed curriculum d

30、irected toward well controlequipment and techniques most widely used offshore.The training programs may be conducted wherever theparticular part of the course curriculum can be presented mosteffectively, whether it be on the rig, platform, in a classroom,or a training facility at another location.
