Health and Safety Representatives (HSR) Forum

A national forum for petroleum industry Health and Safety Representatives has been held at intervals of 18 to 24 months since the late 1990s. The main objective of these events is to provide an opportunity for offshore workplace health and safety representatives from all jurisdictions to meet, exchange information and develop possible strategies to assist in the management of offshore safety issues from a workplace point of view. NOPSA has been involved in the organisation of these events since its commencement of operations in 2005.

The 2008 HSR Forum will be held at the Burswood Convention and Entertainment Complex in Perth, WA, on Tuesday 5th August. Details will be available on the APPEA website shortly.

2007

The 2007 HSR Forum was held at the Burswood Convention and Entertainment Complex in Perth, WA, on Tuesday 7th August. NOPSA was represented on the organising committee of this event, together with HSRs, APPEA and others. This HSR Forum was held back-to-back with the National Oil and Gas Safety Conference. Further details, including recordings of the speakers' presentations and copies of their slides, are available at the APPEA website.

During the Forum, groups of HSRs discussed selected topics and developed actions to address identified concerns. A number of the actions were assigned to NOPSA, or had implications for NOPSA. A summary of NOPSA's response to these actions is now available.
