Oil and Gas Hazard Awareness Program
The Oil and Gas Hazard Awareness Program provides essential training on recognizing and managing hazards specific to the oil and gas industry. It covers common risks such as fire, explosion, chemical exposure, and equipment-related dangers, equipping workers with the knowledge to identify hazards.
What is the Oil and Gas Hazard Awareness Program?
The Oil and Gas Hazard Awareness Program from the American Institute of Safety Professionals provides entry-level hazard awareness for workers entering the oil and gas industry for the first time. The oil and gas industry has a unique concentration of immediately dangerous hazards that workers from other industries have never encountered: hydrogen sulfide (H2S — lethal at low concentrations), hydrocarbon vapours (flammable and toxic), high-pressure systems (sudden energy release), heavy mobile equipment (struck-by and crush), confined spaces (atmospheric and engulfment), fire and explosion, NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material), extreme noise, and extreme heat. Workers who enter this industry without hazard awareness die. The curriculum covers the oil and gas industry structure overview (upstream, midstream, downstream), H2S awareness (properties, detection, escape, never enter without SCBA), hydrocarbon hazards (flammability, toxicity, LEL), high-pressure systems (well control awareness, pressure testing, flow line integrity), heavy equipment hazards (crane operations, rig equipment, vehicle interaction), confined space awareness, fall hazards on rigs and platforms, fire and explosion prevention, NORM awareness, noise exposure, heat stress, personal protective equipment for oil and gas, emergency response awareness, and the Stop Work Authority that every oil and gas worker must understand and exercise. All training is delivered 100% online through the American Institute of Safety Professionals LMS.
Who should take this course?
- Workers entering the oil and gas industry from other sectors
- New hires in upstream, midstream, or downstream operations
- Contractor workers mobilising to oil and gas worksites
- Service company personnel working on operator locations
- Anyone who needs basic oil and gas hazard awareness before arriving on site
