You, he says its through Chevron. Hmm. I work for AT&T and we have some customers that require "site specific" training to enter or perform work at them. Is common place with refineries, chemical plants, some power plants. And since some of them border bodies of water such as rivers, the Coast Guard gets involved, so there are back ground checks, drug testing, etc. When we, I go through my annual "retraining", my company opens a ticket and charges the time against the customer contract for which this time (investment) was calculated into the cost of the maintenance contracts ahead of time, and the customers know it and do not argue the fact BECAUSE they want no trouble with OSHA, the EPA, the Coast Guard, and all kinds of local, state, and federal offices, authorities, etc. Me pay for any of that? Yeah, right after h_ll freezes over.
Sounds to me as though your buddy is either working for a company that is either in over their heads, or they are taking advantage of him. Will refusal cost him his job in this down economy? Well, he has some thinking to do, questions to ask, evaluating to do. I for one will not tell him what to or not to do. He can get into trouble on his own without my help or guidance.

The DAY that my company ever told me that I not only needed to do it, but pay for it...we would be signing a "prenuptual agreement" of sorts, because at that point, we would be married with certain guarantees in writing before I invested a penny in them. I fully understand that the economy is in the tank and these days some consessions might be necessary, but there are limts to my consessions, and such consessions would have reimbursement in writing should my position become surplused, deleted, whatever you want to call it. Mull that over a while.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
