Health and Safety
Health and safety is an important part of any industry, but particularly so in the offshore sector, which is classed as a major hazards industry. It is a tragic fact that people are still getting hurt or losing their lives in our industry.
Reflecting the priority that safety must take in the sector's operations, industry leaders gave an undertaking in 2002 to make the UK the safest place to work in the worldwide oil and gas industry.
Oil & Gas UK is working with industry and other organisations towards achieving this vision through continual efforts to raise awareness and involvement at all levels within the industry and workforce.
Oil & Gas UK's health and safety director, Robert Paterson, talks about the industry's performance in a webcast available here.
