Offshore Platform Safety Overhaul Cuts Incident Rate by 50%

The Challenge: Rising Incident Rates in a High-Stakes Environment

An international oil and gas company operating multiple offshore platforms was facing a troubling trend: a spike in recordable safety incidents, increased contractor turnover, and outdated SimOps planning protocols. With a BSEE audit on the horizon and workforce confidence declining, they needed a strategic EHS partner to overhaul safety systems and regain control.

Key challenges

  • Confined space entry with poor controls
  • Disjointed contractor safety processes
  • Minimal documentation for SimOps (simultaneous operations)
  • Legacy procedures misaligned with current OSHA and BSEE standards
