Workforce Issues Top 'Topside' Agenda

Eddie McCullough, senior partner at Optimus Seventh Generation, will this week join industry experts at Topside UKs inaugural exhibition held at Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre (AECC) on March 16-17 2016.

McCullough will be part of an industry led discussion on Workforce and Skills Development, addressing the challenges that face the industry within the skills and competency sector at 10.20am on Wednesday, March 16th.

Topsides UK is focused on extending the life of ageing topsides operations and is a platform aimed at driving collaboration between operators, contractors and the supply chain. The event has been established to offer industry leaders the chance to think differently, find new ways to drive efficiencies and to generate maximum value across operations to secure the future of the UKCS.

Headquartered in Westhill, Aberdeen, Optimus Seventh Generation is a behavior change consultancy working in collaboration with its clients to influence the safety culture in a variety of high-hazard industries with the aim of making a difference and creating a culture of care for sustainable results.

McCullough said: “In high-hazard environments, like the oil and gas industry, health and safety should be at the forefront of everyone’s mind. In the current climate, where many operators are seeking cost effective approaches, it is imperative that the sector as a whole continues to share its experiences and knowledge. Topsides has set out to do just that and I look forward to being part of its first event.”
