“I’m delighted that we will see the return of the Offshore Safety Awards to the events calendar, particularly as it will be an integral part of Step Change in Safety’s 25th celebratory event. The OSA’s provide the ideal opportunity for employers and employees alike to showcase their ingenuity and commitment to improving health and safety in the offshore sector.

Steve continues, “The offshore energy sector continues to innovate and drive improved performance across health and safety management and we are delighted to once again be able to publicly recognise the hard work and dedication of these finalists.
“It has been a real pleasure to work with OEUK in the planning and coordination of the awards and I would also like to extend my thanks to Step Change in Safety’s focal points, elected safety reps, OIM networks and event sponsors who had the difficult task of judging the numerous nominations.
“The Step Change in Safety team look forward to welcoming all the finalists and wish them the best of luck at the awards event on 8th September at the P&J Live.”
