In the oil and gas industry there is information on current fundamental training for contractors and certification programs that cover industry standards and practical aspects of selecting, specifying and using coatings safely, effectively and economically to protect structures in harsh oil and gas atmospheric environments. These certification programs are for both inspectors and contractors that provide quality assurance/quality control on industrial coating projects. Once implemented with a properly well-written specification for a specific substrate (steel, metal, previously coated), ensures a quality project for the owner.
