Course Introduction
The NEBOSH International Technical Certificate in Oil
and Gas Operational Safety covers the principles of process
safety management in the oil and gas industries, it provides
an excellent foundation in health and safety allowing those
within the oil and gas industries to manage oil and gas
operational risks effectively. The qualification focuses on on
hydrocarbon process safety, so that candidates can effectively
discharge workplace health and safety responsibilities both
onshore and offshore throughout the world. It also highlights
the importance of process safety management.
Who is the Course for?
The NEBOSH International Technical Certificate in Oil and Gas
Operational Safety is suitable for managers, supervisors, safety
staff, and safety representatives with safety responsibilities in
the oil and gas industry, both within and outside the UK,
and is designed to provide a sound breadth of underpinning
knowledge that enables them to manage oil and gas
operational risks effectively.
Delegates should already have an underpinning knowledge
of health and safety issues and may already have studied
one of NEBOSH’s Certificate-level qualifications. It should be
noted that currently the examination is offered, and must be
answered, in English only. The standard of English required by
candidates must be such that they can both understand and
articulate the concepts contained contained in the syllabus.
