The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has completed Process Safety Leadership interventions at CNR International (UK) Ltd and BW Catcher Offshore (UK) Ltd.

At BW five non-compliance issues were identified and have been confirmed in writing to the duty holder and will be followed up.

A Process Safety Leadership intervention is currently in progress with Perenco UK Ltd. It has identified maintenance management deficiencies for which an improvement notice has been served, and other issues identified, which were confirmed in a letter to Perenco and will be followed up. The intervention will be completed when HSE’s team has met with Perenco’s leadership to learn of their plans to improve their performance in relation to the findings and the underlying causes.

A Process Safety Leadership intervention has commenced at Shell, but its conclusions have not been finalised.
