Offshore Network has released an overview on the health, safety and environment (HSE) ecosphere in the Gulf of Mexico, with a primary focus on the challenges and opportunities faced by the region’s oil and gas sector.
With Environmental Resources Management indicating that 94% of health and safety function leaders are reporting increased expectations around health and safety in the years ahead, the HSE market is undergoing intense scrutiny. Operators in the region continue to grapple with some key challenges posed by the region and the nature of the industry including the Covid hangover, getting workers on board, ageing assets and of course evolving stringent regulations – a story kick-started by the events around the Deepwater Horizon disaster.
To combat these, stakeholders are engaging in a range of best practices and deploying new technologies in order to bring their workforce together and mitigate risk for their operations moving forward.
With pertinent issues in this environment set to be discussed at length at HSE GOM 2024 later this year (key topics include: safety culture, process safety, planning & preparation, technology & innovation, and environmental safeguarding) the report provides a refreshing perspective on the market ahead of doors opening in Houston.
