Abstract:This paper aims to provide a reflective look on fostering a 'safety culture' environment by providing oil and gas industry professionals with an opportunity to gain a recognised qualification relevant to their daily work. On a practical scale, safety culture can be stimulated by Control of Work programmes, combining various elements of safety and risk management, human factor management, effective communication and safety leadership. The Mintra Academy takes safety-related training to a new level by making training more contextual and compliant with industry standards utilising the Scottish Credit and Qualification Framework.
