Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent estimate he has made of the rate of compliance by operators in the offshore oil and gas industry with the requirements of the Offshore Installations (Offshore Safety Directive) (Safety Case etc.) Regulations 2015.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) does not collect data on the rate of compliance. HSE has a pro-active intervention programme for assessing duty holders’ compliance with the requirements of the Offshore Installations (Offshore Safety Directive) (Safety Case etc.) Regulations 2015. It is an on-going requirement for duty holders to comply with the safety cases for each of their installations.
