  • About the Course

The oil & gas industry operates in some of the most dangerous environments in the world.
Hazards are expected in this setting and must be controlled.
Improvements in technology, workforce involvement, infrastructure care and rig operations have
led to recent reductions in injuries and incidents but, it is recognized, more still needs to be
done. It is believed that improved base line safety training is likely to improve the situation by
ensuring that all personnel have the necessary safety awareness and basic skills training to
recognize and avoid risk.
To address this need, companies in the UK North Sea, along with Step Change in Safety,
agreed to develop an introductory training program that would introduce the key safety
elements required by all employees.
Employers, through the Middle East Africa and Asia Pacific Employers Forums, from oil and gas
regions around the world have asked for an equivalent program to be developed to meet the
global needs of the oil and gas industry. In response to this request, OPITO, in conjunction with
industry representatives, has developed an International Minimum Industry Safety Training
standard suitable for use irrespective of location.
The course can be offered at an OPITO approved training establishment or be employer led
(OPITO approval required).
The OPITO “International Minimum Industry Safety Training” (IMIST) is highly recommended
for all inexperienced employees in the Oil & Gas Industry.

  • Who should do the course
