Oil and gas industry is exposed to high risk of
HSE compliance issues. The industry is highly risky by its nature, which
include complex operations and procedures. Health, safety and environment (HSE)
knowledge is vital requirement for employees to enrol themselves in oil and gas
industry. This project aims to find the level of HSE knowledge of the Iraqi
novice civil engineers working in Iraqi oil and gas industry and compare it
with senior engineers and aims to identify the project managers’ expectations regarding
HSE knowledge for the Iraqi novice civil engineers to determine the gap between
the knowledge of novice civil engineers on HSE and expectations of project
managers on novice civil engineers at Iraqi oil and gas industry. From the
analysis, it was deduced that novice civil engineers are having moderate
knowledge on the HSE elements of oil and gas industry. Lowest RII was observed
for hazard analysis, prevention and safety. Comparison of senior and novice
civil engineers revealed that there is significant gap between their knowledge
levels of HSE elements. Interview approach showed that project managers expect
novice civil engineers to have basic awareness, knowledge and skills related to
the industry safety. Gaps were observed in terms of novice civil engineer
knowledge on basic HSE elements and their accountability in sustaining a safety
environment.
