 * Rocky Mountain Oil and Gas Safety Team **

Purpose – The members of the RMOG Safety Team comprised of industry and education representatives are prepared to define the upstream (E&P) business functions, job tasks associated with each function, and the tasks’ associated hazards to support the definition of the competencies required to prepare workers with the knowledge and behaviors necessary to improve safety in upstream and midstream oil and gas operations. The resulting recommendations of the RMOG Safety Team will be forwarded to the OSHA Directorate of Training to be used in finalizing the OSHA Oil and Gas Outreach Training Program.
