The remit of the Wood Review on maximising economic recovery was to consider how economic recovery of oil and gas could be maximised from the UK Continental Shelf. In doing so, the review did not directly cover health and safety. In maximising economic recovery from the UK Continental Shelf, industry will continue to be required to fully comply with all health and safety legislation.
