This project will assess the viability of an offshore safety action reporting system modeled after the Aviation Safety Action Program by using focus groups, interviews, and a quantitative survey of about 1,500 personnel. It will also assess gaps between the perceived level of safety reporting culture and the actual level of safety reporting in the Gulf of Mexico oil and gas industry.
