EU Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) Committee
Background
In June 2013 a new EU directive on offshore oil and gas operations (2013/30/EU) came into force that states EU member states shall adopt this directive into their legislation over a period of two years. Other ongoing HSE matters in the EU are related to onshore shale gas developments. In September 2013 a new HSE sub-committee was formed under the governance of IADC with the focus on EU regulatory HSE matters.
Mission Statement
The purpose of this HSE committee is to discuss and coordinate efforts amongst IADC contractor members on EU safety matters, in particular those related to the EU offshore safety directive and onshore developments in the area of shale gas.
