About Our Oil & Gas Operational Safety Course

Time Training Center’s 5-day, 30-hour Oil & Gas Operational Safety Course equips you with the technical knowledge and practical skills to identify, assess, and control operational risks in oil and gas environments. The oil and gas industry presents one of the most complex and high-risk operational environments, characterised by the handling of hazardous substances such as flammable gases, volatile liquids, and toxic chemicals. Ensuring safety across upstream, midstream, and downstream operations is critical not only for the protection of personnel and assets but also for maintaining operational integrity and environmental compliance.

This comprehensive training course on Oil & Gas Operational Safety is designed to provide professionals with the technical knowledge and practical competencies required to identify, assess, and control operational risks. Participants will explore essential elements of Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) Management Systems, with an emphasis on Process Safety, hazard identification, and incident prevention. Key focus areas include fire and explosion hazards, emergency response strategies, permit-to-work systems, risk assessment methodologies such as HAZOP and SIL, and safe practices in transport and logistics operations.

By integrating regulatory frameworks, industry best practices, and case-based learning, the course enables you to enhance safety performance, drive a proactive safety culture, and demonstrate compliance with both organisational and legal obligations. It is tailored for individuals aiming to strengthen their ability to manage operational safety in dynamic and often hazardous oil and gas environments.
