HSE Case Guidelines
The IADC European Working Group (forerunner to the European Operations Forum) was extensively involved in the development of the IADC HSE Case Guidelines for both offshore and onshore drilling rigs. The Guidelines have become increasingly popular with drilling contractors due to their acceptance by regulators and operators in many areas around the world. The Guidelines provide a framework for developing an integrated health, safety and environmental management system for use in reducing the risks associated with offshore and onshore drilling activities.

Offshore Competency Training Programme
The foundation of this programme is a common standard for personal offshore competency. This will enable marine and rig crews to undertake specific courses, based on the training matrix, which are acceptable to all nations. The aim of the programme is to provide the ability to move freely across national borders, demonstrating the right degree of competency.
