Research reports
The objectives of this workpackage were to : provide a vehicle
and stimulus for the participating companies to pursue improvements
in safety; create a tool with which to improve efficiency through
the use of actionable results; establish indicators highlighting
the effectiveness of safety measures; provide competitive analysis
enabling peer group comparisons to be made; analyse trends in total
safety expenditure, personnel satisfaction with safety and the
effectiveness of the safety management system; develop a balanced
scorecard by incorporating business impact measures. A set of
indicators was developed to measure the human and organisational
factors that can have an impact on offshore safety. This then
provided the means by which the participating organisations could
compare their relative performance and examine the reasons for the
differences in safety performance. The data was then used to
identify and share best practice, a stated aim of the UK oil and
gas industry's Step change in safety initiative.
