ABIOSH - International Certificate in Oil & Gas

This qualification is the first of many Oil and Gas awards to be offered by ABIOSH.   The oil and gas industry is a highly risk environment, therefore safety and health management is becoming an ever more important aspect in the control and reduction of accidents, incidents, illness and expensive litigation claims. Every day the oil and gas industry must contend with an array of health, safety and environmental concerns through its range of operations. In Oil and Petrochemical industries, the essential purpose of Safety management regulations are to access the scopes and definitions, areas of specific responsibility of various parties, competencies expected, safety awareness and safe working practices, occupational safety plans and training procedures. Drilling rigs and platforms are generally crowded with equipment and machinery and – if there is an accident – there are few places in which to escape to. Moreover, in locations such as the North Sea weather conditions can be harsh and unforgiving. Thus, from its very beginning this industry has had to pay particular attention to the safety of their workers and the prevention of catastrophic events. Reducing the number of dangerous occurrences, injuries and hydrocarbon releases remains a top priority and is a key focus of the industries absolute commitment to continually improving process safety standards, specific systems, programs and processes to manage and monitor activities that affect their safety. This course has been devised to equip delegates with the technical knowledge, skills and tools necessary to deliver operational excellence in the safe performance of their duties in the Upstream, Midstream, Refining, Tank Farms and petrochemical facilities.
