HeliOffShore Safety Program Drawing Fresh Support
The HeliOffShore Safety Intelligence Program collects operational data from 85 percent of the world's offshore helicopter fleet.

HeliOffshore's Safety Intelligence Program (HSIP) could draw financial support from the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers’ (IOGP) proposed new Joint Industry Project (JIP) to fund safety programs in the upstream energy business, HeliOffshore announced at its annual conference over the weekend. Currently under review, the proposed project could result in a £600,000 ($785,000) investment toward safety programs, HeliOffshore added. Initially, the JIP would support HSIP, as well as operational effectiveness workstream projects such as evidence-based training, pilot eye-tracking research, a new weather and rig location trial, and human hazard analysis training and support work.
