RelyOn Nutec´s footprint and client list ensure the company keeps up with changing local and global requirements as well as practical and digital trends to protect employees, the environment, and its client’s assets. RelyOn Nutec aids its clients by creating a safety culture that reduces operating costs while providing a competent and efficient staff. One of the main advantages of the company is that it is always innovating. “We are at the forefront and up to date with the latest trends and emerging technological developments, in addition we can provide safety consultancy services that go beyond providing good advice to help organizations implement and revise safety culture, work routines and mindsets that deliver impact where it matters,” said Colín.

Some of the company´s most recognized services are:

Emergency management: Development of procedures and drills against risks and serious accidents.

Leadership Pro: Innovative set of materials for leadership development support and coaching delivered on-site and through virtual sessions.

Tailor-made services and solutions: Material offering for the sector or developing customer-specific training needs.

Policy and procedures: Review or develop operational material and support clients in HSE audit and compliance activities.

In order to carry out some of these courses and training in northern Mexico, RelyOn Nutec opened a new training center in Altamira, Tamaulipas, in 2022. The company’s latest hub seeks to further support the oil and gas industry and safety critical industries in that region, while keeping its commitment to improve safety.

The company told MBN that the biggest industry risk from a work environment perspective is the lack of training and budget allocated to safety measures. RelyOn Nutec’s latest state-of-the-art training facility incorporates the company's full suite of safety and technical training services and simulation technology to prevent accidents and other unfortunate events.

The new headquarters are located 20 minutes from the Tampico International Airport and six minutes from the city’s hotel and business area. The center includes six classrooms and a simulation room, where the latest training courses are offered, including the T-BOSIET, T-HUET, T-FOET, API RP 2D APIU Approved Edition, Entry and Rescue in Confined Spaces, Fire Fighting and Rescue Advanced, Work at Heights and Rescue and Training in Compressed Air Emergency Breathing Systems (CA-EBS). The company also provides key certifications, such as IADC, IWCF and API.  

Moreover, RelyOn Nutec offers its clients “Control of Work,” which is a comprehensive system for control procedures. For instance, WorkSafe® is an Integrated System of Safety at Work (ISSoW) product that helps manage and control potentially hazardous work activities. One of its many highlights is that it uses processes and techniques designed to create a win-win situation: improve safety performance and operational efficiency. WorkSafe combines security, rigor, ease of use, flexibility and operational efficiency in its three main modules:

1. Task Risk Assessment (TRA) identifies hazards and applies controls to ensure such low residual risk as reasonably possible (ALARP).
2. The Permit to Work (PTW) allows for a formal registered process used to control work that is identified as potentially dangerous and may be provided as a solution on paper or electronically.
3. Energy Isolations (EIs) ensure that hazardous equipment become isolated and cannot be restarted before completion of maintenance or revision work.

Control of Work Consulting (COW) is made-up of an experienced team of operations and HSE professionals. RelyOn Nutec’s team of consultants can support training and verification activities regarding industry- or customer-specific policies and procedures.

COW consulting can be done on-site or through virtual platforms. For instance, Deficiency Assessment is an independent audit and review of the compliance with COW policy.

Competition: COW Competition Evaluation

Tailor-made services and solutions: RelyOn Nutec offers training material for COW based on the industry and develops training needs specific to the customer.

Coaching: Hazard Identification in the Workplace and Behavior-Based Safety Systems

Technology is essential for RelyOn Nutec, and Simulation, a state-of-the-art technology, plays an important role in lifting operations, in which crane simulators provide a 3D quality visualization of port operations and offshore lifting operations.

Emergency management: Our Emergency Management simulators (MEM) provide high quality drills and assessment against major accident risks.

Drilling operations: Our full-size simulators offer a unique functionality for drilling training with an innovative and realistic dynamic drilling simulation experience.
