Expert delegates and executives of the region work in cooperation in the Technical Committees, forming the engine of the Association to carry forward its strategic lines.
Created in 2009.
The oil, gas and alternative energies industry is a complex industry with specific purpose technology where knowledge is strongly linked to years of experience and expertise, and to the lessons learned during the processes, projects and practices of the organization. However, with a rapidly aging professional population, fast technology developments and the difficulty to attract and retain new talent, the industry is facing one of its greatest challenges in effectively transferring and preserving knowledge.
This committee was specifically created to address this management challenge in a concerted and cohesive manner within the industry in the region. Its mission is to develop, share and promote best practices and solutions in terms of human talent attraction, retention, training and development, as well as knowledge management in member companies. It is also the advisory group that supports ARPEL in its efforts to implement its programs, and training and development courses.
“The ARPEL Health, Safety and Environment Committee has always been a key forum for the exchange of experiences, facilitating the implementation of HSE good practices by companies. Today we are addressing the new challenges of the oil and gas industry such as process safety, environmental emissions, the creation of healthy workplaces and the new frontiers of the industry"
