Offshore Fixed Structures: Repairs and Maintenance

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent steps he has taken to ensure that the voluntary reporting scheme for safety-critical maintenance work on offshore oil and gas installations is compliant with the provisions covering risk assessments in Regulation 3 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

Answer

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) pro-active intervention programme includes the inspection of duty holders’ arrangements for risk assessment of deferred safety-critical maintenance work to ensure they are compliant with the requirements of Regulation 3 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. The information voluntarily reported to Offshore Energies UK (OEUK) by its members is used by HSE to inform its intervention programme.
