REC149-3133 | 35 - Business and Industry in relation to industry | Because some issues related to emergency response are beyond any single operator and usually occur outside the title area, there is a need for the representatives of the offshore industry to work together with other governments, interested and involved parties to develop the strategies to be utilised and the emergency planning model that will satisfy the requirements of all parties. |
REC149-3132 | 35 - Business and Industry in relation to industry | Coverage of the regime should be increased to cover the complete hydrocarbons production system from wells through to custody transfer point or reasonable physical/technical system boundary. If NOPSA is also to be responsible for Carbon Capture and Storage it needs to be resourced to ensure that this does not detract from NOPSA's current responsibilities. |
REC149-3146 | 35 - Business and Industry in relation to industry | NOPSA should consider establishing a small forum for consultation consisting of representatives of relevant stakeholders.

NOPSA should continue discussions with Australian Safety and Compensation Council (ASCC) with a view to adopting their goals. |
REC149-3137 | 16 - Training and behaviour | As professional competency is one of the key pillars of any Safety Case, commitment to training for current and future needs remains a fundamental requirement for achieving best practice outcomes in safety.

REC149-3136 | 16 - Training and behaviour | There is a need for industry in consultation with NOPSA to establish a priority programme of accredited education modules in the Safety Case regime targeting stakeholders in the regime at their respective levels to improve the understanding of the Safety Case and correspondent responsibilities. |
