This course has been developed to enable delegates to understand their roles and responsibilities as outlined by industry guidance documents issued by Oil & Gas Producers (OGP) and International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) as well as any legislative requirements due to area of operation. It offers a holistic overview of offshore legislation and the common issues affecting offshore construction, diving and maritime operations. These issues are further explored to deal with regional differences.
