Course Overview

This intensive RigPass training course provides participants with essential knowledge and practical skills required for safe operations on drilling rigs and oil and gas facilities. The course covers fundamental rig safety principles along with advanced hazard recognition and emergency response procedures specific to drilling environments.

Participants will learn to apply industry best practices and international standards including IADC RigPass, OSHA 29 CFR 1926, and API RP 54 to ensure safe work practices on drilling rigs and related facilities. This course combines theoretical concepts with hands-on practical applications and real-world drilling scenarios to ensure participants gain immediately applicable skills while emphasizing hazard awareness and incident prevention.
