Optimus Seventh Generation, an Aberdeen-headquartered behavioral change consultancy, has strengthened its safety portfolio by securing its first decommissioning contract in a six-figure agreement with a major North Sea operator.
The four-month contract, which began in May, will see Optimus Seventh Generation supply induction training and back to back health and safety advisors to support the safe decommissioning of a floating production, storage and offloading vessel in the North Sea.
Optimus Seventh Generation will provide training to all contractors through its Induction Plus program. The four-hour induction is aimed at projects experiencing a large influx of new, often subcontracted, labor during decommissioning and construction projects or shutdowns. It educates the attendees on the company’s expectations with respect to compliance with the company’s safety rules, alongside a motivational element to engage the project team with ‘why’ compliance is important and how they can raise their awareness of the hazards specific to the asset.
“Our project support business works with clients to influence decision making and behavior to help deliver their project to plan and without harm to people, plant or production,” said Mark Walker, client partner at Optimus Seventh Generation. “Our Induction Plus when embedded by the presence of Optimus safety advisers, helps influence the decision making of all involved, ensuring rules are being followed and incident-free projects are being delivered,”
Since its formation in 2003, Optimus Seventh Generation has built a diverse portfolio of global customers, focusing on high hazard industries both within the UK and internationally, with offices in Aberdeen, Rio de Janeiro and Perth Australia.
On 24 June 2015, Mark Walker will be presenting at a Decom North Sea Lunch & Learn, highlighting Optimus Seventh Generations offshore decommissioning capabilities and raising awareness of its expertise to a wider industry.
