Helicopter Task Group

The Helicopter Task Group was created to address cross-industry issues around helicopter safety, including those arising from the fatal helicopter crash off the north-east coast of Scotland on 1 April 2009.

Represented on the task group are companies directly involved in the fatal accident, Oil & Gas UK's Board or Council, the offshore workforce, helicopter operator companies, Grampian Police and trade unions.

Its purpose is to act on behalf of the industry as a communications focal point for sharing information, advice and learning across the industry and with other stakeholders on matters arising from this and other helicopter accidents, including assisting with the implementation of any recommendations from the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) inquiries. 

The group will also define possible policies and practices to be recommended to the Board of Oil & Gas UK for approval and consequent implementation on a pan-industry basis.  In doing this, it will be supported by existing industry workgroups and advisory teams.

The group will meet regularly, at least once a month. When its work is completed, it will be disbanded.
