NOGEPA is founded in 1974 from a social context. Besides this, NOGEPA watches developments regarding safety, sustainability and climate closely.

Why was NOGEPA founded?

To be able to provide education related to the offshore industry, a training provider must be certified by NOGEPA. Since working in the offshore industry can be very risky and most work is executed at sea, a proper medical and safety training is of great importance. The emergency services are taking significantly longer to reach the site of an incident, then when an incident takes place on land. NOGEPA makes sure that all training providers meet the right requirements regarding the various provided related courses.
