Health and Safety Report 2019

5.6 Publications The review of existing OGUK health and safety guidance documents and technical notes is ongoing. It is envisaged that completion of this programme should be achieved by the end of 2020. As part of the process, some documents will be withdrawn, while others will undergo formal review and update. The following OGUK publications have been published in the last year: Fire RiskManagement inOffshoreAccommodation —This note provides advice to duty holders on the assessment and management of fire risks affecting offshore accommodation cabin spaces, by describing and overall approach and suitable methodology. The document was first published in early 2018 but required a further review to bring it into line with current thinking. After further work by the group and in collaboration with the HSE, the document was reissued in 2019. Unavailability of the Emergency Rescue and Recovery Vessel (ERRV) — The document was produced to cover situations where the ERRV might not be able to provide effective rescue and recovery arrangements, for example, during adverse weather conditions. The note describes recommended steps to follow in such circumstances and includes an in-depth check list that can be used by the offshore leadership team to assist decision-making on whether or not to cease operations. Environmental Health for Offshore Installations — These guidelines were fully revised and updated to provide a practical approach to good practice in the provision of food, water, and accommodation offshore. It is an essential reference document to those who have a role in ensuring the safe provision, management, servicing and maintenance of food and water supplies offshore and those who would have to provide an on-site response to an outbreak of infectious disease, including food poisoning. Medications and Medical Equipment for Offshore Installations — The first edition of this document was written in 2000 to provide additional guidance to that contained in the then Approved Code and Practice (ACOP) to the Offshore Installations and Pipeline Works (First-Aid) Regulations 1989 . This revised and updated version describes the levels and type of medical provision required to meet good practice in the provision of workplace medical care to those working offshore.
