The significance of health and safety in the Oil and Gas industries cannot be undervalued. Even minor oversights during operational tasks, chemical management, and the disposal of end products can potentially result in injuries, accidents, and, in some cases, fatalities. Consequently, delegates working in the Oil and Gas sector should cultivate a comprehensive breadth of knowledge and understanding to proficiently mitigate and manage operational risks.
Aligned with these critical requirements, NEBOSH has introduced the International Technical Oil and Gas Certificate (IOGC) qualification. Specifically designed for individuals within the Oil and Gas sectors and related industries, this specialized certification prioritizes the oversight of operational safety in the Oil and Gas domain. It aligns closely with global standards and best practices, aiming to equip delegates with the necessary expertise to ensure adherence to safety protocols in these industries.
The NEBOSH International Technical Certificate in Oil and Gas Operational Safety is well-suited for supervisors, managers, safety representatives, and newly qualified health and safety advisors engaged in the Oil and Gas industries. Centralizing on operational process safety, the program aims to empower delegates to proficiently apply and implement effective process safety management practices across global operational domains.
Furthermore, to augment technical proficiency, this certification provides comprehensive insights into various areas, including risk assessment, qualitative and quantitative techniques, the concept of hazard realization and ALARP (“as low as reasonably practicable”), hydrocarbon process safety, and safety considerations related to Floating Production Storage Offloading units (FPSOs).
This certification is designed for supervisors, managers, safety representatives, and newly certified health and safety advisors operating within the Oil and Gas sectors. Additionally, it accommodates professionals aiming to transition into the Oil and Gas field or seeking a comprehensive grasp of the fundamentals of Oil and Gas Operational Safety management.
