STANDARD PRACTICE NATIONAL OCCUPATIONAL SKILLS STANDARD (NOSS) FOR
PIPING FABRICATION MANAGEMENT LEVEL 4
1. INTRODUCTION
This NOSS document outlines the standards and curriculum for Piping Fabrication
Management (Level 4) in the Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Sector.
Piping fabrication is the process of manufacturing and fabricating predesigned
piping systems for various uses. Piping fabrication is usually required at large
industrial facilities such as offshore facilities (drilling platform), oil refineries plants,
shipyards, residential irrigation, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning) and
utility facilities.
Based on the Occupational Analysis (OA) of the Oil, Gas & Petrochemical sector,
the Oil and Gas industry consists of a total process starting from the oil or gas field
and runs all the way to the sending of processed hydrocarbon to the final user1.
The industry is divided into two major components namely upstream and
downstream. The upstream component is further divided into areas such as
exploration, appraisal and engineering. Engineering includes piping, structure,
instrumentation and control and civil. Piping fabrication is one of the job areas
identified for piping.
The piping fabrication personnel are part of a piping fabrication team responsible for
pipe fabrication, installation, maintenance, modification and repair of damages or
breakdowns of the piping systems. Piping fitters and fabricators fabricate pipes at
the operational level. Piping fabrication supervisors ensure that fabrication and
installation work are carried out efficiently in accordance with piping and project
specifications and standards. Piping supervisors assist the piping superintendents
in managing the fabrication process and production team to ensure that completion
dates, budgets, safety and quality requirements are met.
Quality in piping fabrication is addressed by a number of standards, specifications,
and codes issued by bodies such as American National Standards Institute (ANSI),
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), American Petroleum Institute
(API), British Standard Institution (BSI) and International Organisation for
Standardisation (ISO). These standards, specifications and codes govern the

selection of piping materials, design, dimensions and tolerances, welding
requirements, installation as well as inspection and testing procedures. Piping
fabrication is a major activity in the construction of offshore facilities which must
strictly adhere to established standards and health, safety and environment (HSE)
requirements.
In Malaysia, with the Oil, Gas and Energy sector as one of the twelve National Key
Economic Areas, Oil and Gas service providers will continue to enjoy a sustained
growth. According to PEMANDU, the Oil & Gas sector would enable the industry
to contribute to an incremental Gross National Income (GNI) of RM131.5bil and
52,000 jobs by 20202. This will also boost the demand for piping fabrication
personnel. Currently Oil and Gas Sector employs a significant number of foreign
workers due to lack of trained local workers. It is hoped that concerted effort in
training local expertise will open up opportunities for Malaysians to specialise in this
sector and gain from the NKEA outcomes.
Therefore, this National Occupational Skills Standard (NOSS) document is
developed for generating competent personnel in this specified occupational area.
Pre-requisite
The minimum requirements proposed by the industrial experts for those interested
to enrol in this course are as follows:
• Possesses minimum SKM 3 in Piping Fabrication Operation
• Medically fit with good eyesight
• Able to speak and write in Bahasa Malaysia or English

4. MALAYSIAN SKILL CERTIFICATION
Candidates after being assessed and verified and fulfilled Malaysian Skill
Certification requirements shall be awarded with Malaysia Skills Diploma (DKM)
Piping Fabrication Management (Level 4).
5. JOB COMPETENCIES
Piping Fabrication Management (Level 4) personnel are competent in performing the
following core competencies:
• Piping Fabrication Health, Safety & Environment Compliance Supervision
• Piping Fabrication Project Materials Storage & Control
• Piping Fabrication Operation Supervision
• Piping Fabrication Quality Control
• Piping Fabrication Document Control
Optionally, the Piping Fabrication Management (Level 4) personnel are also
competent in performing the following elective competency:-
• Shop Drawing Preparation
6. WORKING CONDITIONS
Piping fabrication can be accomplished in several ways namely shop fabricate and
field installed, or field fabricate and installed, or combinations of both.
In shop fabrication, metal is fabricated and assembled into structures at the fabricator’s
facility and then transported to the site for erection. Shop fabrication allows the
fabrication personnel to work under controlled environment.
In field fabrication, metal is fabricated at site fabrication yards which are usually well
equipped and organized to ensure efficient work flow. The pipes are then hooked-up
or modified as required on site.
Working conditions at offshore sites may be unpredictable and personnel may have to
work under pressure and in hazardous conditions. Working in an open air structure
will require protection from weather conditions such as rain, wind and cold.
.

Piping fabrication personnel are also required to complete their job within allocated
time and usually work in a team which consists of workers from all levels. Safety is a
major issue to all fabricator personnel. Thus, compliance with occupational safety
and health is everyone’s responsibility at all times.
7. EMPLOYMENT PROSPECTS
Malaysia is rich in both renewable and non-renewable sources of energy suchas
petroleum. The rapid growth of the Oil and Gas Industry opens up plenty of job
opportunities in this sector. The industry currently faces a shortage of skilled and
experienced workforce in piping fabrication.
Piping Fabrication Operation experts are highly sought after in various sectors other
than the Oil, Gas and Petrochemical sector. While this sector offers many job
opportunities, any sector involved in piping have great need for fabricators. This is
especially true in the development sector where large upcoming piping projects such
as the SCORE (Sarawak Corridor Renewal Energy) project in Bintulu, Sarawak and
the Iskandar project in Johor will ensure plentiful opportunities for piping fabricators
and management personnel in the near and foreseeable future.
Resourceful and experienced piping fabricators and management personnel may
also commercialise their skills and knowledge widely including taking up job offers
abroad.. Well skilled and experienced fabricators are highly sought after in regions
such as the Middle East.
Other than the oil and gas industry, piping fabrication personnel can also work in the
construction, marine and shipbuilding industries.

8. TRAINING, INDUSTRIAL RECOGNITION, OTHER QUALIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT
Most piping fabricators develop their competencies on the job and through in-house
certification. Management positions are acquired through years of working
experience in the field.
Training is currently also provided by public and private training centers. Many piping
fabricators have their basic training in welding and develop their fabrication skills later
on the job. In addition, the National Dual Training System also offers apprenticeship
programme. With additional training in management and human resource
development, piping fabricators can advance to become supervisors and
superintendents at the fabrication site.Further certification and experience may
advance them further as piping technologists or material specialists.
