Common Safety Training Program (CSTP)

Applied Safety

Common Safety Training Program (CSTP) is an industry initiative administered by APPEA. This initiative has recently become an industry mandate, as is the requirement for TBOSIET / BOSIET.

As of the 1st of January 2012, Australia’s Oil and Gas industry has adopted CSTP as a core foundation of safety skills in the workplace. The aim is to ensure all personnel working in the Oil and Gas industry in Australia to have been assessed as competent against defined core safety units.

The CSTP program covers basic theory and exercises conducted over a 3 day period.

The topics covered are:

  • Safety Case and Safety Management Systems 
  • Working under an issued Permit 
  • Identification of hazards and risks 
  • Contributing to safe working practices 
  • Control of minor incidents 
  • Responding to an emergency 
There are two pathways available to obtain a CSTP card:
  1. Training for new employees 
  2. Training for experienced workers 
Experienced workers can obtain a CSTP card through an RPL process i.e. Without attending training. Our 1 day training program is designed for those who don’t have the resources to complete RPL themselves.

Upon successful completion of the course trainees will be provided with an evidence package for their employer. Trainees are then assessed at their workplace by an independent supervisor. A CSTP Card is then issued through APPEA.

For additional information on CSTP please visit the CSTP website or APPEA's CSTP website.

3 days (plus on the job appraisal)
