Step onshore – Extending collaboration
The offshore sector are keen to collaborate
and share:
Because most safety incidents are independent of
sector
To improve information flow to their sector
To increase the experience from which information
is drawn
To generate greater leverage

equivalent Construction system

Collaboration
Use of the same dissemination platform
