What should an in-house trainer do after successful completion of the EHS Training at HP?
The in-house trainer can conduct EHS Training for employees in his company. He should maintain and submit training records to EQS Asia Pte Ltd. EQS Asia Pte Ltd will in turn advise ISB SGP / Indigo to update records in the ISB SGP/ Indigo contractor training database. The trained workers will be eligible for the daily contractor pass to enter HP/ ISB SGP / Indigo premises.

Can I train my sub-contractor?
No. Please note that records from any cross-company training of workers are not eligible for input into the ISB SGP/ Indigo database or for the daily pass at guard posts. Contractors or sub-contractors are therefore advised to get their own trainer to conduct training for their own workers.

No. A company may opt to send all its workers to EQS Asia Pte Ltd for worker's training or it may choose to send a representative to be trained as a trainer.

What should an in-house trainer do after conducting the in-house training?
Complete the Contractor's Spreadsheet with the details of the in-house trainees, and send it to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Incomplete forms will be rejected. Once the workers have completed the contractors' in-house training and details updated into the database, the in-house trainees will then be allowed to enter or work in any of ISB SGP/ Indigo premises.

Is there a validity of training?
Yes. The training is valid for a period of 3 years. Qualified trainers and trained workers have to attend a refresher training course after the expiry of EHS Training.

I am a new photo pass holder, where can I get my photo pass?
