Health & Safety in the UK Oil and Gas Industry

Introduction

Health and safety is an important part of any industry, 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 ensure that by 2010, "the UK is the safest place to work in the worldwide oil and gas industry". This undertaking was incorporated into the list of industry objectives for PILOT, the joint government industry initiative to prolong UK oil and gas production through improved competitiveness.

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.
