Multiple casualty incidents, resulting from events such as natural disasters, construction and structural failures, may have the capacity to overwhelm personnel, equipment and facilities in an oil and gas operation. The Multiple casualty planning and preparation checklist provides a practical form of guidance which aids medical and operational personnel to assess and improve preparedness to manage multiple casualty events. Through a series of Yes/No answers, the checklist guides the user through the key elements which need to be considered when developing a medical emergency response plan, such as communications, on and off-site facilities, training and drills and risk assessment.

Undertaking ‘meaningful engagement’ not only enables companies to meet regulatory guidelines and international standards, but also build robust, constructive and reciprocal relationships with stakeholders.
The oil and gas industry operates in many locations where people work, and often live together, in close quarters, such as offshore installations, ships, and remote camps. In these types of locations, infectious diseases can spread rapidly, affect workers, and disrupt operations. This guidance has been developed for local management and operations personnel working in these locations.
This recommended practice identifies key drug and alcohol programme elements and is intended for use by contractor companies and oil and gas industry owners and operators.
Oil and gas operations take place in many countries where the quality of medical services and specialities differs. It is therefore important for a company to assess local health facilities to ensure that they can provide optimal medical care for their workers.
