Wildlife Safety for the Oil and Gas Industry

OGS-29.2

Oil and gas field work often takes place in remote locations, and there is a good chance that workers may come into contact with wildlife on the job. Wild animals can attack people, transmit diseases and damage property, so it is important for workers to know what to do when they encounter wild animals in the field. This course is designed to teach oil and gas workers how to identify various types of dangerous and nuisance animals common to North America, the hazards they present, and the standard precautions to take if these animals are encountered. This course is intended for all employees who may encounter wild animals in the course of their duties. This course is available in both English and Spanish.
