Introduction:

Risk and safety management in oil and gas construction projects is a critical institutional function that protects people, assets, and operations. These projects involve high risk environments, strict regulatory requirements, and complex execution structures that demand rigorous planning and governance. This training program presents structured frameworks for identifying, assessing, and managing risks across all project phases in the oil and gas sector. It also covers institutional safety models, compliance mechanisms, and performance systems that strengthen resilience and operational integrity.

Program Objectives:

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

Analyze institutional frameworks that shape risk and safety management in oil and gas construction projects.
Evaluate structured methodologies for hazard identification and risk assessment.
Classify governance and regulatory requirements relevant to safety and risk control.
Usse integration mechanisms between project execution plans and safety structures.
Explore performance indicators and reporting systems used to monitor safety and risk performance.

Target Audience:

Project Managers in oil and gas construction.
Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) Managers and Officers.
Risk Management Specialists.
Construction and Site Managers.
Compliance and Quality Assurance Personnel.
