The president of YPF, Horacio Marín, presented during the Argentina Oil & Gas in Neuquén Capital a project to establish a Training Center for Workers of Vaca Muerta. Marín highlighted the relevance of this initiative to improve the safety and training of workers in the Vaca Muerta basin.
The training center aims primarily to address the challenge of the scarcity of skilled human resources in the energy industry. Marín emphasized that it is essential for the workers to be adequately trained in safety and thoroughly understand their trade and the associated risks.
In the context of his speech, Marín called on all companies in the sector to join forces in the training of workers, highlighting the importance of them being properly prepared. He expressed his concern about the risks posed by a lack of awareness about safety at work.
Marín pointed out that the real challenge lies in preparing the workers who work directly on the wells, beyond investments or the availability of engineers. He underscored the need for trained personnel who understand the risks they face and can perform their work safely.
In this sense, the president of YPF expressed his commitment to ensure that the new technological center is used by the entire industry, promoting training and awareness in safety matters. He highlighted that it is crucial for workers to know what they are doing to prevent accidents and ensure a safe work environment.
In conclusion, Horacio Marín emphasized the importance of training and awareness of risks at work as fundamental pillars for the safe and sustainable development of the energy sector in the Vaca Muerta basin.
