Like most safety training, our certificates "certify" you have completed a formal course of study. OSHAcademy certificates do not certify you as a "qualified" oil and gas safety manager. And, of course, OSHA does not "certify" anyone as a qualified oil and gas safety manager either.

In the USA, to be "certified" as a qualified safety manager you need to meet experience and educational requirements and successfully pass an exam from a credentialing organization like the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (www.bcsp.com) or the Institute for Safety and Health Management (www.ishm.org). ISHM specifically offers a Certified Safety and Health Manager (CSHM) credential which you should research if you are interested in getting certified.

An oil and gas safety and health specialist has more technical training, knowledge, and experience than a typical employee. As a result, a specialist is often given additional duties, responsibilities, and compensation. A specialist often provides technical support to those working around them.

An oil and gas safety and health supervisor has all the technical training, knowledge, and experience of a specialist, but also has additional supervisory responsibilities. As a result, the supervisor program includes all the courses found in the specialist program and includes two additional courses designed to specifically support the supervisory position.

OSHAcademy students that have already completed and paid for their training may qualify for a discounted price when purchasing a new program.

To determine if you qualify for a discount and how much the discount might be, our staff will need to evaluate your OSHAcademy transcript.
