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.
