Introduction 

Safety and Risk Management requires a twin approach of following the legislative standards and seizing the opportunities available in good risk management. Risk management is the identification assessment and prioritization of risk and then monitor and control such risks. Offshore hazards include the hazards of vessel, working over water and diving operations. Safety Management is applicable in all companies whether by following an accredited Safety Management System or by purely following a Hazard Register with the appropriate Risk Assessments.

Additionally, the training course will cover confined space entry and safe shift handovers in two areas that are continually the cause of incidents and loss.
