The British Academy for Training and Development offers a training course in occupational health and safety for oil companies. This course is for anyone looking to gain significant experience and understand the fundamentals of health and safety in the oil and gas industry.

Petroleum is a liquid primarily composed of hydrocarbons, along with a small percentage of sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen. It forms and accumulates in the earth's crust due to natural factors such as cracks and faults or geological fractures, and it can be extracted by humans through drilling oil wells. Petroleum exists in nature either in a liquid state or semi-solid form, like asphalt veins, or as liquid crude oil. It can also appear in gaseous form, such as natural gas. The production of oil fields varies; some produce crude oil mixed with a small amount of natural gas, while others primarily yield natural gas with little or no crude oil, like natural gas fields. Therefore, occupational health and safety must be responsible for preventive measures to avoid oil pollution and implement remedial actions that include controlling petroleum contamination. This involves outlining methods and techniques for treating pollution and hazardous petroleum waste, as well as managing gaseous pollutants in air, water, and soil.

The British Academy for Training and Development offers this course to the following categories:

• Directors and owners .
• All workers in vocational protection departments in emergency.
