The HOS fire watch position (officially called fire watch, Semi Operator – see item 20) will be deleted after May-2014 and there is a proposal from FE Manager to crate the new position called Area Controller, Semi Operator.
Below are some discussion between OIM and FE :
• We still using the same group of existing firewatchers
• They will need to get extra training (as listed below) to be competent as area controller
• Their function is to be an area controller + fire watch on non process related work at remote PF
• They will gain higher day rate
Please share weather you agree and/or have any comment krub.
