MINIMUM TRAINING REQUIREMENTS FOR WORKING ON A LOCATION

Work safely or don’t work at all

There are strict procedures when working on installations and systems. After all, there’s a risk for hazardous substances to be released. Therefore read the Permit to Work carefully and check if the described control measures have been taken. Then take the precautionary measures which belong to your job.

Always be alert to prevent hazardous substances from being released. When in doubt: always ask or stop working!

Speaking the same clear language regarding Health, Safety and Environment,and harmonisation of regulations by focusing primarily on agreements between companies and contractors.

That is the goal the member parties of HSElife NL pursue.

As well as the information that has already been harmonised, location and company-specific information also applies. Ask for it!


Working in the Oil and Gas industry is fraught with risks. Systems are often under high pressure, substances are flammable, explosive or harmful to health. These are just a few examples. Is working in this industry dangerous then? No, because with proper training you recognize the risks and you know how to act. This is the reason why we have set minimum training requirements before you can start working.
