KUALA LUMPUR, Oct. 16 (Bernama) --
PETRONAS signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with OPITO towards collaboration in the area of safety, technical training and strategic competency development.

Under the scope of the MOU, OPITO will assess and accredit selected health, safety and environment (HSE) and technical training programmes offered by Institut Teknologi Petroleum PETRONAS (INSTEP) and PETRONAS’ Group Health, Safety and Environment Division (GHSED).
“In realising our aspiration to become the regional education and learning hub for the oil and gas industry, we acknowledge the importance of our HSE and technical training programmes to be recognised by an industry recognized accreditation body. In pursuing the intent, we have identified OPITO as our partner for the upstream sector,” said Puan Raiha Azni.
“With OPITO’s assessment on the selected programmes under INSTEP and PETRONAS’ GHSED, we can set the training standards and ensure adoption of the best practices,” she added.
