OPITO emphasises safety in oil and gas at sub US$50 oil

Training

OPITO will highlight the importance of safety training in the oil and gas industry at the OSCC (OPITO Safety and Competence Conference) being held in Abu Dhabi on the 3 November 2015

Global oil and gas skills and training body, OPITO, has urged companies to not compromise on safety in the oil and gas sector, despite a low oil price environment. 

This year’s theme ‘The Economics of Safety at US$50 oil’ will explore how the industry maintains competence and continues to keep its people safe.

OPITO has revealed this year’s final speaker line-up and further details for what will be the sixth edition of the show.

 The OSCC (OPITO Safety and Competence Conference), is an international event focused on safety and competence in oil and gas, bringing together governments, industry, regulators and training providers to discuss best practice on enhancing safety, according to event organisers.

“Hazards and risk remain the same regardless of the oil price and a lower BOE must not mean that they are managed differently,” said David Doig, group chief executive for OPITO.
