Speaking to Journalists, the Head of Training at Rigworld, Mr. Carlos Acheampong said the school's main objective would be to offer oil and gas safety training and provide rigging activities onboard the Rig so that trainees would have technical knowledge.

That apart, the school would have simulators where real life stories would be depicted to the trainees as a means to avert possible accidents on board the Rig.

With Rigworld training and technical safety school, prevention of possible accidents is assured. The General Manager of Rigworld, Ms. Naa Syntyche told Journalist that the company has a vision to lead in the Oil and Gas industry.
