HSE's Offshore Division (OSD) is responsible for the offshore oil and gas industry. Our mission is to protect people's health and safety by ensuring risks in the changing workplace are properly controlled. Our current priorities are:
HSE’s Loss of Containment Manual has been revised. The expanded document now gives advice on ten important elements of process integrity, and should help industry to further reduce the number of offshore hydrocarbon releases.
Use of chemicals or other hazardous substances offshore can put people’s health at risk, causing diseases such as dermatitis, asthma or cancer. The COSHH regulations require employers to control harmful substances. Offshore COSHH Essentials gives practical advice for controlling exposure to hazardous substances.
