The Common Safety Training Program
The Common Safety Training Program or CSTP, is a new Australian Oil and Gas Industry Safety Training Initiative that was launched in April 2010.

The program is run by ERGT Australia, the only dedicated safety training organisation for the offshore oil and gas industry in Australia. The CSTP model was developed by the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association, or APPEA, as an initiative of the oil and gas industry’s CEO Safety Leadership Forum.

From April 2010, all new personnel entering offshore oil and gas sites in Australia are required to participate in the Common Safety Training Program and to obtain their CSTP Card. The CSTP prepares new entrants to the industry by introducing them to the safety behaviours expected by the offshore oil and gas industry. CSTP differs from traditional safety training as it combines the development of safety skills with a practical behaviour-based program, delivered in a simulated offshore workplace. ERGT Australia is the first training organisation to develop courses for the CSTP and these are run from specialised facilities in Perth, Western Australia.
