Step Change in Safety is the UK based partnership with the remit to make the UK the safest Oil and Gas Exploration and Production province in the world by 2010.
We are charged with achieving this vision through cooperation and sharing. This website is a key resource in enabling that sharing and, in the spirit of co-operation, we invite all to use the website to share and contribute regardless of industry or country.

History
Step Change in Safety was founded in 1997 by the Oil and Gas industry trade associations with the aim of reducing all the UK offshore Oil and Gas industry injury rate by 50%.
By 2002 a new vision was created:
“The UK is the safest place to work
in the worldwide oil and gas industry by 2010”
And Step Change moved to operate under the PILOT umbrella.
Membership of Step Change now includes the UK Health and Safety Executive and the Trade Unions. It is this broad stakeholder base that makes the Step Change group effective across the whole industry.

- personal ownership for safety;
- asset integrity.
