HSE

Health, Safety and Environment — in the offshore context, HSE refers both to the discipline of managing health, safety, and environmental risks on an installation, and to the UK Health and Safety Executive, the government regulator responsible for offshore safety in Great Britain. HSE officers offshore are responsible for permit-to-work oversight, safety audits, incident investigation, and safety training. The UK HSE also operates the Offshore Safety Directive and conducts inspections on UK Continental Shelf installations.
