Topics covered in this program include:

• Modern HSE Management Systems
• Up-stream and down-stream oil and gas operations and equipment
• Process safety management (PSM)
• Oil and gas hazards identification and analysis
• Mechanics of fire, explosion and toxic releases

• Explain the purpose of and procedures for investigating incidents and how the lessons learnt can be used to improve health and safety in the oil and gas industries
• Explain the hazards inherent in oil and gas arising from the extraction, storage, and processing of raw materials and products
• Outline the risk management techniques used in the oil and gas industries
• Explain the purpose and content of an organizations documented evidence to provide a convincing and valid argument that a system is adequately safe in the oil and gas industries

• All supervisors and line management who have assigned responsibilities within the organization’s HSE management system
• Safety Representatives
• Production and process engineers
• Maintenance personnel
• Newly qualified health & safety advisors
• HSE personnel
• All personnel involved in planning and implementing the organisation’s HSE management system

Participants will learn by active participation during the programme through the use of exercises, case studies and open discussion forums. Videos shown will encourage further discussions and delegates are encouraged to bring forth experiences and problems from their own organisations. The program will be run using power point slide, copies of which will be distributed both in hard and soft copies.
