SOG

SOG stands for SSVV Training Guide and is a partnership within the Dutch oil and gas industry. This organization engages in the development and management of safety, health and environmental (HSE) training and certifications in the petrochemical sector. The goal of SOG is to ensure safety in workplaces by educating and training workers in high-risk environments, such as oil and gas production facilities and refineries.

SOG certifications, which are often part of the VCA (Safety, Health and Environmental Checklist Contractors) program, are mandatory for certain high-risk tasks within these industries. By taking these courses, employees can meet the safety standards and requirements set by the industry. SOG is managed by SCC Infra, the organization responsible for managing and developing the SCC system.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

  • How can I check the validity or authenticity of an SCC or SOG certificate?

    To do so, visit the Central Diploma Register (CDR) of the Safety Cooperation Foundation (SSVV). Have the surname and date of birth at hand, or the personal VCA diploma number.
  • Will I receive a paper SCC or SOG certificate?

    No. For an additional charge of EUR 40 per SCC or SOG certificate excluding VAT, we will send a paper certificate by mail.
  • Will I receive a digital SCC or SOG certificate?

    Yes, you will receive a certificate in .pdf format in your email. You will also be able to request the results (with the exception of Twin Ferrule Fittings) and a digital pass and save it on your phone, often as early as the first working day after the exam. Have the last name and date of birth ready. Fill in the surname without the prefixes. If you have passed, you can scan the QR code that appears or click on 'digital pass' and take a screenshot of the pass with your phone as proof. Alternatively, you can put the link to the digital pass on your phone as a shortcut. Note: the digital pass only works for SOG and VCA exams taken by our examination bureau PBNA. The following passes are included: - All VCA diplomas obtained at PBNA after 1-1-2015; - All SOG diplomas obtained at PBNA after 1-1-2018.
