Industry films address offshore travel concerns

OGUK and Step Change in Safety, the UK oil and gas industry’s recognised safety organisation, have co-produced a series of films to address the concerns of thousands of workers travelling offshore during the coronavirus pandemic.

There are currently two films available to view with the first co-presented by OGUK’s Aviation Advisor, Graham Wildgoose and Matt Rhodes, Bristow Helicopters UK and member of the Step Change in Safety Leadership Team. Together they address aspects of helicopter travel including operational procedures, arrival and departure protocols, and the transfer of passengers.

The second film features OGUK’s Medical Advisor, Dr Graham Furnace, providing answers to questions regarding the workforce’s concerns around current coronavirus-related medical and health issues. Topics he covers include temperature checking, measures to take when temperatures are high and self-isolation offshore.

The films can be viewed at
