Up to 80% of the Exploration and Production activities of Oil and Gas operations are being executed by contractors. The industry`s safety performance is therefore what the contractors make of it, implying that any meaningful performance improvement must derive directly from improvements in the contractor`s safety performance. A detailed review has been conducted on the operator contractor safety management interface, leading to the establishment of a controlled series of improvement initiatives. These initiatives which must be driven by the operator should commence with an enlightenment that to improve safety would improve overall business. Contractor involvement, development programme for contractor safety management system and rigorous auditing to check compliance with systems and procedures, being the main focus. The result of implementing these improvement initiatives demonstrate their effectiveness. Injury levels will be kept low with a sustained reduction trend.
