International Regulators Forum Perth 2023
The International Regulators Forum (IRF) Conference was held in Perth in October 2023, for the first time since 2018.
The conference explored the theme of ‘It’s all about the risk’, with over 250 delegates from around the world, including ADAS schools, meeting to discuss mutual challenges and opportunities and drive continuous improvement in safety outcomes in offshore industry.
The IRF Conference identified three key issues facing the safety of offshore activities, that may be broadly grouped as follows:
- Asset integrity.
- Decommissioning.
- Transitioning and expansion of the energy spectrum.
