New Refinery Safety Certification
As approved by the Board of Trustees, the Operating Engineers Regional Training Program will now be offering a new refinery certification called Refinery Safety Overview (RSO) that will take the place of previously scheduled C-STOP training courses.
RSO has developed standards for a training program designed to educate workers on the health and safety hazards associated with working in the petrochemical industry. The program offers an overview of safe work practices and health regulations, providing guidelines for maintaining a safe working environment, and also furnishes the basic training necessary to prevent work-related injuries and illness.
