Course Content : Performing Authority / Area Authority

Effective control of work is crucial to safe operations and the people responsible for control of work are central to it. By implementing consistent training standards for key personnel responsible for control of work at oil and gas installations and sites, many incidents caused by inadequate control of work (or where inadequate control of work is a contributory factor) may be mitigated or prevented. There are a number of responsible roles involved in the control of work, but one of the key roles is the person responsible for control of work at the worksite(s).
