Course Summary
The gas and oil industry is prominent globally. It is crucial for anyone working within this industry to understand the potential risks involved, whether that’s financial, operational, compliance, or even health and safety risks.
The key to risk management is first to assess the regulations where the organisation is located. All initial risk assessments should be created in compliance with local laws and legislation. Following on, a full analysis of current potential risks from every aspect of the business would be required to be accurately reviewed and detailed in a risk assessment and audit. Gaining an in-depth picture of current issues and providing solutions is vital for predicting and preparing future complications.
All those responsible for risk management should be educated and knowledgeable about the variety of risk-based frameworks available. A widespread understanding of these frameworks will prevent misinterpretation while reviewing audits. Correctly engaging with others regarding risk management in both verbal and written formats is essential, and these are crucial skills to obtain and develop.
