Site Specific is a CBT course.
Basic Plus and Site Specific Records may be transferred to the St. Croix branch of the HASC. To request a training records transfer, you may submit a transfer request in the Pinnacle CERTS Extranet© when requesting an employee badge for the employee. For additional information on transferring training records, please call Pinnacle Client Services at 340-277-2096.
Active status in DISA or the DFWPA
Port Hamilton Refining and its contractors are committed to a safe, drug-free work environment. If a contractor’s work requires Basic Orientation Plus training (reference Exhibit 8) then the contractor is required to enroll in and maintain active status in a Port Hamilton Refining’s approved consortium that requires pre-enrollment testing and continuously subjects active members to random drug and alcohol testing at an annual effective rate of at least 50%. Port Hamilton Refining approved drug testing consortiums include DISA Contractors Consortium (DCCHA) and the USVI Drug Free Workplace Alliance (DFWPA), administered by Pinnacle Services.
