Oil & Gas Industry Background Checks

In the oil and gas industry, the level of scrutiny often depends on the site’s sensitivity. A Level 1 (Basic) check searches the National Repository of Criminal Records for any convictions. A Level 2 (Enhanced) check includes the basic search plus "Non-Conviction" information, such as outstanding charges or warrants. For safety-sensitive positions or site-access roles, a Level 2 check is often the industry standard to ensure total project security.

We understand that project timelines in the oil and gas sector move fast. Most of our standard criminal and employment verifications are completed within 15 minutes but could take up to 24 to 48 hours. For more complex screenings involving international education or specialized accreditation, we provide real-time status updates so your HR team can stay on schedule.

Safety doesn't stop at the site gate. If your employees are operating company vehicles, water trucks, or hauling equipment, a Driver’s Abstract is your primary defense against insurance liability. It verifies the candidate's history of accidents, demerits, and license suspensions, ensuring that only qualified, safe drivers are representing your brand on public and private roads.
