The NEBOSH International Technical Certificate in Oil and Gas Operational Safety (IOG) has been the go-to qualification for professionals in the oil and gas industry for years. However, NEBOSH IOG will be phased out in 2025, leaving many professionals wondering what certification will take its place. If you're looking for an alternative that offers long-term career growth and broader opportunities, NEBOSH PSM (Process Safety Management) is the ideal choice.
The End of NEBOSH IOG and What It Means for Your Career
The NEBOSH IOG qualification has helped thousands of professionals build their careers in oil and gas. However, with its discontinuation in 2025, the industry needs a certification that not only continues to meet the demands of oil and gas safety but also expands into other high-risk sectors. This is where NEBOSH PSM comes in.
Why IOG is Being Phased Out
NEBOSH PSM provides a more comprehensive approach to process safety, making it the preferred certification for professionals looking to stay relevant in the face of industry changes.
Why NEBOSH PSM is the Ideal Replacement for NEBOSH IOG
While NEBOSH IOG served its purpose, the NEBOSH PSM certification offers a more extensive scope, making it the perfect alternative for professionals in the oil and gas industry. NEBOSH PSM is designed for those looking to manage and mitigate process safety risks, not only in oil and gas but also in manufacturing, chemicals, and other high-risk industries.
PSM’s Broader Scope
Unlike NEBOSH IOG, which primarily focused on operational safety in oil and gas, NEBOSH PSM covers the full spectrum of process safety management. From risk assessments to emergency response systems, PSM offers a deeper, more comprehensive approach to industrial safety.
A Global Career Path
With NEBOSH PSM, you're not confined to one sector. Process safety management skills are transferable across multiple industries, including chemical, pharmaceutical, and energy sectors.
