OIL & GAS: OFFSHORE SAFETY SUMMIT 2015 30 March - 01 April, 2015 Aberdeen Marriott Hotel , Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom Aligning People, Processes and Technology to Deliver Offshore HSE Excellence W ith methods of extraction in the North Sea having to become more technologically advanced, in combination with a series of more and more stringent guidelines and policies created by steering bodies in the wake of Macondo and other disasters around the world, the role of HSE continues to grow in importance as a result of the human, environmental and financial costs of offshore HSE incidents. In the wake of high profile accidents, the EU is also in the process of taking steps to provide a strict regulatory framework along with contingency measures for all member states engaged in offshore oil and gas production. The 9th Annual Offshore Safety Summit brought together senior industry experts from across the European offshore HSEQ community, to share their expertise and case studies, as well as receive an update on the latest regulations, laws, trends and best practices that would help them attain a ‘zero accidents’ culture across their organisations. The event was sponsored by 3M, Rig Deluge, Tyne Gangway and Intergraph who were able to show the oil and gas HSE professionals onsite how they could help ensure the safest possible conditions whilst offshore. Speeches were given by ConocoPhillips, Saipem, Health & Safety Executive, Bibby Offshore, EIPSS and the University of Aberdeen to name but a few.
