HSE POLICIES, PRACTICES AND MANAGEMENT IN OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS

COURSE OVERVIEW & LEARNING OUTCOMES

This course addresses an important  the safety training need of all personnel working in operations and production facilities, drilling rigs in the O&G companies. It starts with a refresher on the

fundaments of HSE and the focuses on the measures and tools required to

manage an HSE system. Participants will use case studies to think through how a

safety management system can be modified and improved upon. Participants will leave the training with useful new skills to positively impact on their jobs. Other objectives of the training are:


  • Understanding QRA principles of process review

  • Ability to manage a Risk Register of QRA review

  • Chair a QRA Event with a level of understanding toward results

  • Understanding SIMOPS principles toward work activity review

  • Ability to manage a SIMOPS Register review

  • Chair a SIMOPS Workshop with a level of understanding toward results

  • Understanding MOPO  principles toward MULTI work activity review

  • Ability to manage a MOPO  Register review and develop a MOPO Manual

  • Chair a MOPO Workshop with a level of understanding toward results
