Module 1 – Risk Assessment and its processes
Key words associated with Risk Assessment Processes
a. An accident - Is an unplanned event that results in loss
b. A hazard - Is something that has the potential to cause harm
c. A risk - Is the likelihood and the severity of a negative occurrence for example injury, ill-health, damage and loss resulting from a hazard. It is also a situation of exposure to danger or a probability of something bad happening.
Module 2 – Incident Command System (ICS)
ICS is a standardized approach to the command, control and and coordination of emergency response to providing a common hierarchy within which oil spill emergency responses can be effectively carried out.
Module 3 – Conduct and monitor assets integrity management programme for oil and gas operations in Nigeria
The ASM Department is charged with the responsibility for surveillance and to ensure compliance with all existing environmental legislation and the detection of oil spills in the petroleum sector (NOSDRA Establishment Act 2006 Section 6 (10) (a)). In achieving the above responsibility, there is need for a Pipeline Integrity Assurance Program under a full fledge Assets Integrity Management (AIM).
Module 4 – Asset Integrity Management: Standard operating procedure of hydrocarbon pipeline maintenance
This procedure is a guideline on the proper way to safely perform asset integrity management. The operators will the SOP as a guide to help them perform the integrity of the asset, and this will be in compliance with government regulations and standard.
Module 5 – Hazard Identification (HAZID)
Oil spills are one form of disaster that is not a natural disaster, but one that people have caused. An oil spill can harm birds, mammals, marine life and the environment in several ways via direct physical contact, toxic contamination, destruction of food sources, habitats, and reproductive problems.

Once a pipeline is successfully constructed and commissioned for operation, it is the responsibility of the operations and maintenance personnel to operate and maintain the pipelines with the safety of the public and operating personnel and to prevent pipeline failures through proactive measures such as periodic maintenance monitoring and check and balance through the SOP.
The scope of any maintenance contract is divided into two parts. These are:
I. The technical scope which involves the technical work which is to be implemented through the related SOPs that shall form part of the procedure to be adopted while the technical jobs related to the maintenance of pipelines are carried out. The maintenance which are required during operation and maintenance of pipelines are comprised of the mechanical maintenance for example valves operation and maintenance, maintenance of filters, leak repairs and welding, etc while the electrical maintenance deals with the control panel (CP) which is a device that detects abnormal currents in an electrical circuit then blocks and protects the circuit.
II. The commercial scope mainly involves the schedule of works to be executed in the contracts involving specification, payment, etc.
