  • By consideration of crew needs throughout the life-cycle significant improvements can be made to ensure their wellbeing and enhance their performance.
  • These improvements don't have to be expensive, or cost anything. Some may result in cost savings.
  • Its never too late. We can look at our current in-service platforms for ways to improve as well as our future ones.
  • It is imperative we do this not just to ensure the safety of our crew but also to attract and retain our future generations.
