Step Change in Safety
Fourth Floor, Annan House, 33-35 Palmerston Road, Aberdeenshire, United Kingdom

Step Change in Safety was founded in 1997 by the oil and gas industry trade associations. The original aim was to reduce the UK offshore injury rate by 50%, something which was achieved in 2004. Over time, Step Change in Safety has evolved and adapted to the changing needs of, and challenges faced by, the UK energy industry.

We have embraced new technologies, grown our portfolio of events and supported the industry in equipping its workforce to identify hazards and ensure risk is properly controlled. Together with our members, we are improving safety through engagement, leadership and collaboration.

The following timeline charts the milestones in the evolution of Step Change in Safety, from fledgling organisation to a globally respected champion for the safety of the UK’s offshore workforce.
