The Institute of Petroleum Safety, Health and Environment Management (IPSHEM) is a training institute of the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation[1] that provides technical education in the fields of industrial safety, occupational health and environmental science.

History

[edit]

The institute's inception was conceived by ONGC during its 230th Executive Committee meeting on November 28, 1984, emphasizing Health, Safety and Environment within the petroleum industry.[2]

At first, the institute was founded in 1989;[3][4] however, it commenced operations from its own campus in Betul in South Goa, starting in 1997.[5] It was set up following a feasibility study and master plan developed by Norwegian consultants SikteC A/S, supported by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation, as part of a bilateral agreement between India and Norway.[6]

As of December 2023, ONCG is planning to upgrade this institute with a budget of 250 crore (US$30 million).[7]
