Question 1

What is the ProQual Level 1 Award in Understanding Health and Safety in Oil and Gas Environments?

Accepted Answer

This is a very basic, entry-level UK qualification for people completely new to the oil and gas industry. It teaches simple health and safety principles: why safety matters, common hazards (slips, trips, manual handling, working at height), safety signs, PPE, what to do in an emergency, and basic legal responsibilities. It is the first safety qualification for new starters and support staff with no prior safety training. Ofqual-regulated and recognised across the UK.

Question 2

Can I work on a rig after this course?

Accepted Answer

This course alone does not qualify you to work on a rig. For offshore roles, you will also need BOSIET (offshore survival), MIST, and an offshore medical. This Level 1 Award is the first step in your safety training journey.

Question 3

Is this qualification recognised outside the UK?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this Ofqual-regulated Level 1 Award is recognised internationally. Basic safety principles are the same everywhere. However, for offshore roles in some countries, you may need additional safety training.

Question 4

How long does it take to complete?

Accepted Answer

This is a very short course, typically completed in half a day to one full day. It is designed to give you basic safety awareness quickly before you start work.

Question 5

Will this qualification allow me to work offshore?

Accepted Answer

No, this Level 1 Award alone is not enough to work offshore. Most offshore roles require BOSIET, MIST, and medical certification. However, this qualification is a good first step for understanding basic safety before taking those courses.

Question 6

What career opportunities are available after completing this diploma?

Accepted Answer

You can work as General Assistant, Canteen Staff, Cleaning Crew, Administrative Support (onshore), or Trainee. Works on offshore rigs (with further training), onshore oil and gas sites, or support service companies.
