About HPOG
The purpose of HPOG is to establish a membership funded, global resource of guidance, best practice and accessible worksite tools to further implement Human Performance efforts across the Oil and Gas Industry.
The basic remit is to consider all avenues available for improving Human Performance, distil and identify key learnings and deliver these back into the industry in the form of awareness, best practice, recommendations, lessons and case studies, tools and techniques.
Specific working groups within HPOG develop each key issue to its conclusion as an effective deliverable product in an open and collaborative environment.
The HPOG Global Steering Committee comprises subject matter specialists from a variety of major Oil and Gas Operators, Drilling Contractors, Service Partners and Industry Bodies and provides the governance and strategic direction of the initiative.
HPOG is now 'live' with a functioning website that will grow and develop as new content is made available.
HOW HPOG IS FUNDED
HPOG is non-profit-making and strives for self-funding status.
The income generated through HPOG Membership fees and the sale of HPOG products and services provides the revenue for administering the initiative and for supporting the development and production of new products and deliverables on an ongoing basis.
Member organisations can also contribute by sponsoring specific products or projects on a voluntary basis.
