This qualification provides the underpinning knowledge, which when combined with experience enables holders to identify, evaluate and control a wide range of workplaces hazards. It is based around international standards and management systems that enable the effective discharge of workplace safety responsibilities both onshore and offshore. Globally, employers in the oil and gas industries find that the International Oil and Gas Certificate can improve the safety culture of their organization by providing line management and staff with a sound understanding of operational safety management.
