OIAC - Information
OIAC succeeds the former Oil Industry Advisory Committee (OilIAC), which held a wider brief for both the on and offshore oil and gas industries. Following a review of the relationship between various advisory bodies, HSE decided that OIAC should focus solely on the offshore sector.
The committee meets three times per year, twice in Aberdeen and once in London.
Terms of Reference
OIAC’s terms of reference are:
- to provide a forum for representative organisations to exchange information on and promote improved standards of health and safety in the offshore energy industry.
- to consider and advise the Health and Safety Executive on the protection of people at work from hazards to health and safety arising from their occupation within the industry; and other associated matters referred to them by the Executive;
- to encourage the joint participation of representative organisations in the protection of people from hazards to health and safety arising from the industry;
- to identify and where appropriate provide advice and guidance to the industry in which-ever form best fits the purpose;
- to act as a stimulus for the identification and meeting of research needs in the industry;
- to share industry good and bad practice standards in health and safety and develop increased workforce involvement in health and safety.
