In 1989, the Institute of Petroleum Safety, Health and Environment
Management (IPSHEM) was established with the objective of
promoting standards of safety, health and environment in petroleum
sector in India. The Institute is committed to upgrade and

standards and procedures. The Institute offers training courses
in Basic & Advanced Safety and Environment Management,
Fire Safety, Offshore Survival & Safety and Coxswain Boat

The picturesque IPSHEM site spreads over 101.5 hectares with
an exclusive sea front 1.15 km is situated about 60 km away
from Dabolim Airport at Betul village, South Goa, in close
proximity to the well known Mobor Beach.
The Institute is being further upgraded by introducing Helicopter
Underwater Escape Training (HUET) facility. Statistics show
that 85% of accidents are caused by shortcoming in the system.
It is, therefore, imperative that personnel engaged in this
high risk and hazardous industry are exposed to latest issues
and concepts involved in safety and environment management.
IPSHEM's scientific and systematic HRD training programs
are carefully conceptualized in theoretical and practical
aspects to suit the requirements of target groups.
IPSHEM also plays an advisory role in a number of committees
