FOREWORD
The Oil Industry in India is 100 years old. Due to various

collaboration agreements, a variety of international codes, standards
and practices are in vogue. Standardisation in design philosophies,
operating and maintenance practices at a national level was hardly in
existence. This lack of uniformity, coupled with feed back from some
serious accidents that occurred in the recent past in India and abroad,
emphasized the need for the industry to review the existing state of art
in designing, operating and maintaining oil and gas installations.
With this in view, the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, in

1986, constituted a Safety Council assisted by the Oil Industry Safety
Directorate (OISD), staffed from within the industry, in formulating and
implementing a series of self-regulatory measures aimed at removing
obsolescence, standardising and upgrading the existing standards to
ensure safer operations. Accordingly, OISD constituted a number of
Functional Committees comprising of experts nominated from the
industry to draw up standards and guidelines on various subjects.
The present Standard on “Safety Aspects in Functional

Training” was prepared by the Functional Committee on “Training”.
This standard is based on the accumulated knowledge and experience
of Industry members and the various national and international codes
and practices.
It is hoped that provisions of this standard if implemented

objectively, may go a long way to improve the safety and reduce
accidents in Oil and Gas Industry. Users are cautioned that no
standard can be a substitute for the judgement of responsible and
experienced engineer.
Suggestions are invited from the users after it is put into

practice to improve the standard further. Suggestions for
amendments, if any, to this standard should be addressed to:
The Co-ordinator,

“Training”

This standard in no way supercedes the statutory regulations of Chief
Controller of Explosives (CCE), Factory Inspectorate or any other
statutory body which must be followed as applicable.

ANNEXURE-V
GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING OBJECTIVE TESTS
1. Use objective items e.g. Multiple-choice or True-False rather than essay questions.
2. Use items that are important in terms of the knowledge the participant should have.
Again items should reflect specific learning objectives.
3. Items should get at the participants’ understanding of material no just rote memory.
4. Keep the reading level relatively simple so that the participants’ scores reflect their
knowledge of the subject rather than their level of reading comprehension.
5. Make sure that there is only one correct answer in a True False or Multiple-choice item.
6. Use random pattern of correct answers; that is, do not have a set pattern of correct
answers (e.g Five True items followed by five False ones).
7. Vary the items in difficulty - a few relatively simple, a few failure difficult - with most
somewhere in between.
8. Keep the items discrete; the answer to one item should not signal the answer to another,
nor should answering one item correctly be contingent upon answering a previous one.
9. Beware of giving clues to the correct answer. In a Multiple-choice item for instance, do not
give away the correct answer by making it clearly longer or shorter than the other alternatives.
10. Make responding to the items as mechanically simple as possible. Keep in mind that you
are trying to measure to Individual’s knowledge of the subject and not the ability to follow
complex directions.
