The general overview, realities, and principles of Industrial Safety and Environmental Engineering Technology (ISEET) at the Federal Polytechnic of Oil and Gas (FPOG), Bonny Island, are centered on human capital development. The primary aim is to ensure that workers return home in the same physical and mental condition as they left for work. This involves the proper utilization of values and materials, as well as the sustenance and development of natural resources, in line with global trends in the Safety and Environmental engineering profession. The focus areas include Occupational Safety and Health (OSH), Health, Safety and Environment (HSE), Safety Engineering, Geodetic Monitoring and Observation, Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering, Ecosystem Management, Ergonomics, Water and Wastewater Engineering, Pollution Studies, and Soil and Water Engineering.

The program emphasizes the application of practical and theoretical knowledge of engineering to solve Safety and Environmental engineering problems in society.

The department was established in 2014 and received its first interim accreditation in 2018. Full accreditation for the National Diploma (ND) was granted in 2023, and interim accreditation for the Higher National Diploma (HND) program was achieved in 2024. These accreditations have enabled the institution to fulfill its mandate of training middle and higher-level manpower for the oil and gas industries and related allied industries over the years.

This philosophy emphasizes that the world depends on Health, Safety, and Environment, and this can be actualized through FPOG contributing its quota by producing Industrial Safety and Environmental Engineering experts. These experts promote technological, industrial, and rural development in a disciplined learning environment.

The Programme is thus divided into two distinct segment, namely:-

1. Industrial Safety Technology
2. Environmental Engineering Technology

The goal of the Industrial Safety Technology:

• Is to inculcate the knowledge of safety in the environment, industries and communities.
• It imparts knowledge on how to avoid work and occupational related accidents and prevent property and environment damage.
• It also emphasis how to observe areas for the presence of any potential hazard or unsafe conditions.
• It ensure equipment monitoring and compliance with Safety regulations.

Environmental Engineering Technology basically is the frontline of environmental protection. One of the main focuses of environmental engineering technology is to balance the built environment with the natural environment. This involves coming up with solutions to tackle ecological problems such as waste reduction and pollution control. Potential areas were environmental engineering can be very important includes safety and environmental management, air quality management, water and wastewater quality management and public health management.
