This book evaluates and compares risk regulation and safety
management for offshore oil and gas operations in the United
States, the United Kingdom, Norway and Australia. It provides an
interdisciplinary approach with legal, technological and
sociological perspectives on efforts to assess and prevent major
accidents and improve safety performance. Presented in three parts,
it begins with a review of the factors involved in designing,
implementing and enforcing a regulatory regime for industrial
safety. It then evaluates the four regimes exploring the contextual
factors that influence their design and implementation, their
reliance on industrial expertise and standards, and the use of
performance indicators. Finally the book assesses the resilience of
the Norwegian regime, its capacity to keep pace with new
technologies and emerging risks, respond to near miss incidents,
encourage safety culture, incorporate vested rights of labor, and
perform inspection and self-audit functions. This book is relevant
for those in government, business and academia, and anyone involved
in offshore safety issues.
