| Summary: | The oil companies test a severe shortage in the qualified experts in industrial and ecological safety (HSE-management), in particular in the conditions of emergency situations, what are the oil spills. The modern specialist needs a serious additional training to bring his knowledge and skills to meet the requirements of the employer. Declared by the principle of "lifelong learning" - the constant improvement of educational level, in particular - for sustainable development. Currently, the Peoples' Friendship University established an educational complex on HSE-management. Such programs are just gaining momentum and presented at leading universities in industrial countries (Britain, Australia, USA, etc.). With its creation as a result of contacts with leading companies (TNK-BP, Lukoil, Gazprom, Tatneft, and others) was defined profile specialist and were formulated the requirements for professional skills of specialists. The most effective way, allowing the student to "feel" the concept of environmental safety - virtual immersion in a professional environment. Given this, the People's Friendship University - the first of the universities of Russia - based virtual simulator technology started training, practically oriented to minimize the harm accidents. Created a virtual simulator for environmental safety in the oil spills simulates accidents on pipelines of various sizes for different environmental conditions. It includes an estimated portion (the definition of poverty, economic and environmental impacts of oil spills), the latest technology for elimination of accident, library of manuals and handbooks. The integrated approach allows for a short time to prepare qualified professionals to eliminate the accident consequences. The simulator - the first Russian software of its kind. Further work on its development can be adapted to a wide range of conditions, including the Arctic. Copyright 2012, Offshore Technology Conference.
