COURSE OVERVIEW:

The Implementation of QHSE Management Systems in Oil and Gas Upstream and Downstream Workplaces course is a strategic program designed to integrate Quality, Health, Safety, and Environmental standards into a unified framework. This course examines the specific requirements of ISO 9001, ISO 45001, and ISO 14001 as they apply to the high-risk environments of exploration, production, refining, and distribution. It provides a technical roadmap for aligning corporate governance with operational reality to ensure zero harm and maximum efficiency.

The scope of this training involves the detailed analysis of risk management strategies, compliance auditing, and the development of robust procedural controls. Participants will explore the nuances between upstream offshore operations and downstream onshore facility management, identifying how to customize a management system that addresses both sectors. The program emphasizes the transition from reactive safety cultures to proactive, leadership-driven systems that promote continuous improvement and operational excellence.

Coverage includes the documentation requirements, performance monitoring through Key Performance Indicators, and the management of change within complex hydrocarbon processing environments. The course addresses the integration of emergency response planning and environmental stewardship into daily workflows. By focusing on both technical implementation and cultural change, this course equips professionals with the expertise to lead their organizations toward global QHSE benchmarks.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximise the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
