Canada’s petroleum industry ranks among the nation’s highest-risk sectors. Workers face toxic gases, confined spaces, high-pressure systems, and remote operations daily. Safety training serves as their lifeline—not just a regulatory checkbox.
Oil companies traditionally delivered petroleum safety training through classroom sessions and field exercises. Digital learning now drives more organizations to select online petroleum oriented safety training for their teams.
Why Oil and Gas Training Matters
Canada reported 67 workplace fatalities and over 18,000 disabling injuries in 2022, with oil and gas operations heavily represented. Training prepares workers to spot hazards, follow safety standards, and respond confidently during emergencies while demonstrating proper behaviour towards safety across petroleum sites.
