Health & Safety

The safety of our students, teachers and staff takes priority and overrides all other considerations.

Safety standards within the centre and in all our activities are reviewed by two independent bodies annually
In 2001, UK consultants along with British Petroleum Health, Safety and Environment officers conducted a Peer Review on our facilities and how we conduct our activities and concluded that we meet rigorous standards in all aspects
A Health & Safety Review is carried out every month during the conduct of the British Petroleum Project
