What PEC Training Is
PEC safety training is a standardized set of orientation and awareness courses for people who work in oil and gas. Standardized course content gives workers a common safety foundation and helps operators set consistent training expectations for contractors. That is why more operators now ask workers to complete PEC safety training and carry an official PEC photo ID card.
The card shows which courses a worker has finished, so supervisors and compliance teams can confirm PEC certification quickly. Requirements differ by operator, so check with yours before you register.
PEC Courses We Offer

- PEC Basic Orientation Refresher
PEC Basic Orientation Refresher (Basic Refresher) is an eLearning course that refreshes the PEC Basic Orientation course content. PEC Basic Refresher provides general safety information to reinforce worker awareness of hazards they may encounter in their workplace and strengthens student knowledge of various practices to mitigate those hazards.
Students will be reminded of OSHA regulations and industry best practices, and how to apply that knowledge to stay safe in the workplace. Visit the PEC Basic Refresher page to get started.
- PEC Basic Introduction to Pipeline
Workers whose jobs involve pipelines can take PEC Basic Introduction to Pipeline, an introductory PEC training course for pipeline work. Ask your operator whether pipeline sites require it alongside PEC Basic Orientation, then see the PEC Basic Pipeline page for details.
Which PEC Course Do You Need?
The PEC certification you need depends on where and how you work. For onshore sites, look first at PEC Basic Orientation, also known as SafeLand. Offshore Gulf work points to SafeGulf, which operators in that region commonly ask for. If your tasks could expose you to hydrogen sulfide, PEC H2S Clear adds focused training on that hazard.
Workers on pipeline jobs should look at PEC Basic Pipeline, and crews that need a longer program for onshore and offshore work can consider Core Compliance. Workers who have completed Basic Orientation can review the material through the Basic Refresher. Your operator or client sets the training requirements for your job, so confirm which course you need before enrolling. If you are unsure, call us, and we will help you sort it out.
Online vs In-Person PEC Training
PEC certification online is available for some courses. Based on our current offerings, Basic Orientation and H2S Clear can be taken online, and the Basic Refresher is an eLearning course. Core Compliance can be delivered at your location, so a whole crew can complete it together.
Group classes work well for employers who want to train several workers at once. Formats can change, so tell us which course you need, and we will confirm the format before you enroll.
PEC Card Lookup and Replacement
Use the official PEC card lookup site, where employers and site supervisors can verify a worker’s PEC safety card and completed courses. If a card is lost or damaged, you can replace a lost PEC card by submitting our request form. Contractors managing many workers can also read about PEC and Veriforce compliance for contractors.
