چکیده
This document brings together summaries and key findings from a series of nine studies carried out by the University of Oxford with funding from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) Offshore Safety Division, and published during the years 1996-2001 under the general title " Psychosocial aspects of work and health in the North Sea oil and gas industry ". The work covers a range of topics relating to offshore work characteristics, mental and physical health among offshore personnel, and safety attitudes and perceptions (including an analysis of accident/injury statistics); the role of demographic factors, individual differences, and environmental characteristics in influencing work/health relationships is also considered. Offshore shift schedules, and their impact on performance, health, and safety, is a major issue cutting across several of the studies summarised. A bibliography of offshore research, including details of all the reports summarised, is also provided. This report and the work it describes were funded by the HSE.
