In a recent survey conducted by Oil & Gas iQ, nearly 75% of offshore safety professionals claimed that more pressure was placed on offshore operators regarding health and safety than in previous years. These responses are believed to be fueled by recent oil spill disasters like the Deepwater Horizon spill. The survey report names problems with technology and equipment, as well as new legislation but pinpoints human factors as the biggest challenge to safety. Leading SH&E and offshore safety specialists are looking to discuss these issues at the 2nd annual
Offshore Safety Summit, which includes a strategic focus day on human factors and behavioral safety. An exclusive interview with Ian Stevenson, Group QHSE Director at Technip, is also available as an advance preview of the topics to be debated. The interview hones in on key risk management and risk perception concerns for all of those operating offshore.
