Guidance aligned to the Regulations - cited within - to support those who may be affected in understanding their requirements. Accordingly provides a simple explanation of the main regulatory provisions and is addressed to those with duties, such as licensees, installation operators, installation owners, well operators and others involved with offshore activities.
The principal regulatory aim is to reduce the risks from major accident hazards to the health and safety of the workforce at such installations - or in connected operations, in response to the central recommendations of the Cullen Report into the 1988 Piper Alpha North Sea oil production platform disaster which killed 167. Styled presentation (eg bold, italics, margin coding) enables easy distinction between texts pertaining to the Regulations and additional guidance.
