Offshore Safety Certificates: the country checklist

The same research as the episode, on two pages you can keep: what you need in the UK, Norway, the US and Brazil, how long each certificate lasts, and how to check that it is real.

  • The three layers: law, industry standard, your job
  • Renewal windows that save you from starting again
  • Where to verify a certificate, a doctor or a school
  • Red flags of fake courses and paid "job offers"
