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?

Mull that over a while.
