Guidelines

Guidelines are issued by NOPSA to advise industry on policy and procedure, and to assist inspectors in carrying out their duties. The current Guidelines may be obtained from the index below.

DISCLAIMER: These Guidelines are intended to provide general guidance to the industry as to the approach that NOPSA takes in carrying out its regulatory functions under powers conferred by the Commonwealth Offshore Petroleum Act 2006, State and NT Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Acts and Regulations under those Acts. The Guidelines should not be relied on as advice on the law, nor treated as a substitute for legal advice in any relevant situation.

Guidelines and advice on offshore safety issues issued by a number of regulators and industry organisations may also be of interest.
