Course Overview

The cost of an incident involving safety in oil and gas lands on production, insurance, licence and reputation at once. Almost every serious incident involving oil and gas was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about this aspect of occupational health and safety. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from safety in oil and gas, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. It treats the wider occupational health and safety agenda as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Participants who influence oil and gas without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting safety in oil and gas and under-invest in testing it. Across sectors, teams that rehearse oil and gas outperform teams that only plan it. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the occupational health and safety capability broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
