Operating in an industry which has one of the biggest multi-hazard environments and also statistically happens to be one of the safest is a testament to the people who work in it.
But let’s not forget how dangerous our environment can be if the people in it fail to do their job correctly or safely – circumstances can change in an instant and sometimes be catastrophic.
The biggest risk we face in our industry is the supply of oilfield personnel who are not proven competent to carry out their job – at Wellwise we negate this risk as much as physically possible by ensuring the personnel we supply are of the best standard our industry has to offer. So how does Competency play a role in this?
Well let’s look at it this way – how would you feel about an unqualified doctor performing an operation on you? The likely outcome is that a life would be lost. Well now think about how you would feel working in one of the most dangerous environments on the planet, hundreds of miles from civilisation with people unqualified to perform their job? A likely outcome here is much worse than one life lost. Time and time again we hear the same line from contractors hoping to work through the Wellwise Group - ‘I don’t need a piece of paper to tell me how to do my job’. We don’t look at it this way and we wouldn’t want to use contractors who do either. We think like this – Having that competency certificate PROVES you can do your job. In an ideal world EVERYONE working in the oil and gas industry would be able to do so.
