Aberdeen Business School at Robert Gordon University (RGU) carried out research into the role of information systems in enhancing health, safety and emergency response in the oil & gas industry. The report, sponsored by AVEVA, is based on RGU’s research which gathered information from health & safety (H&S) managers, senior managers and engineers in the global oil & gas industry, through an online questionnaire. Respondents’ business types included operating companies, contractors, service companies and suppliers. Confidential, in-depth Critical Incident case studies were carried out in four representative businesses, interviewing key individuals able to comment authoritatively on the information aspects of dealing with the incidents.
