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

3. DEFINITION OF COMPETENCY LEVELS

The NOSS is developed for various occupational areas. Candidates for certification

must be assessed and trained at certain levels to substantiate competencies. Below is

a guideline of each NOSS Level as defined by the Department of Skills Development,

Ministry of Human Resources, Malaysia.

Malaysia Skills Certificate Level 1: (Operation Level)

Competent in performing a range of varied work activities, most of which are routine and predictable.

Malaysia Skills Certificate Level 2: (Operation Level)

Competent in performing a significant range of varied work activities, performed in a variety of contexts. Some of the activities are non-routine and required individual responsibility and autonomy.

Malaysia Skills Certificate Level 3: (Supervisory Level)

Competent in performing a broad range of varied work activities, performed in a variety of contexts, most of which are complex and non-routine. There is considerable responsibility and autonomy and control or guidance of others is often required.

Malaysia Skills Diploma Level 4: (Executive Level)

Competent in performing a broad range of complex technical or professional work activities performed in a wide variety of contexts and with a substantial degree of personal responsibility and autonomy. Responsibility for the work of others and allocation of resources is often present.

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.

.

Page 10: Piping Fabrication L4

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.
