Large scale offshore projects, such as the front-end engineering and construction of platforms, or ongoing offshore operations, require continuous support to address environmental considerations as they arise. It is necessary to identify and address the social and environmental issues, benefits, risks and constraints associated with these projects and to ensure compliance with the current and impending legislation. It is important to demonstrate that projects and operations are being managed in a responsible and sustainable fashion and that environmentally-preferred options are being selected at each stage. Staff may require environmental training and the implementation and audit of management systems to ISO 14001 and EMAS standards may be required.
