Course Summary
Quality standards within energy companies and their oil and gas discovery processes are paramount for energy-efficient, more environmentally friendly, and safe sales. For this reason, it’s important to understand how to accurately audit and risk assess your own organisation and benchmark against industry standards to ensure you are maintaining standards and making the right strategic decisions to move forward.
Working within an oil or gas provision company requires you to gain essential knowledge regarding the ISO standards on quality, environmental maintenance, and occupational health and safety to ensure you are meeting your legal responsibilities and appropriate management safety standards to maintain a quality service.
It’s important to understand how to audit and evaluate your own organisation to make changes that work towards continuous improvement and increased productivity. This ensures employee safety, and environmentally focussed practices and also lays the groundwork for process reviews to develop a company’s opportunity to make more profit.
- To develop a deeper understanding of ISO guidelines when dealing with gas and oil discovery, distribution, and sales.
- To plan and execute audits of your business practices in order to work towards continuous improvement.
- To assess risks and develop plans to mitigate future issues.
- To create contingency plans for failures to ensure the stability of a safe working environment.
- To develop forecasting models to future-proof your organisation.
- To understand the implications of non-adherence to ISO standards on the safety of your employees and customers and the wider environment.
- To make strategic plans for company improvement from audit results in order to improve profitability.
This course is great for anyone within a management or change and control position within the energy and fuel industry that wishes to tighten their processes to meet ISO standards and create wider profit margins. However, it would be most beneficial for:
- Senior Managers

- Quality Assurance Officers
- Health & Safety Personnel

- Purchasing Managers
- Change & Control Managers
This course is developed using a variety of adult learning techniques including trainer-led seminars to discuss the importance of quality standards and practical exercises in the form of group discussions and planning trees to understand how individual organisations could benefit from innovative change and regular audits.
Each participant will leave with a greater knowledge of planning procedural change and an understanding of the auditing process to aid internal risk assessments and operational performance reviews.
