After providing a background and comparative assessment of Performance-Based Regulation (PBR) inother offshore oil and gas sectors, the potential for similar application in Canada is discussed. The developments in these sectors have evolved from a prescriptive regulatory scheme to one that is more PBR based. In such a regime, the governing agency sets out objectives for industry performance that include design and operation objectives, as well as expectations for safety and environmental protection.  It is then up to the individual company to develop a program as to how they propose to achieve these performance objectives, which is then submitted to the agency for review. The discussion centres on the overall compliance and improvements that have been realized by PBR regimes, and the efficiency of the government agencies. The scheme is intended to be more responsive to industry changes and requires more participation by the regulated companies than in prescriptive regimes.  Overall objectives of PBR are to reduce the level of prescriptive measures imposed upon industry by government. while reducing exposure to the risks of offshore oil and gas exploration and development by placing the means ofmanaging the risk in the hands of the operators. The premise of PBR is that these operators are in a belter position to react to changes in technology and risk than are government agencies.

The diversity of location of many offshore units and the transnational nature of the offshore oil and gas industry have emphasised the increasing need for a close harmonisation of the liability regime between the applicable laws of producing States and what is stated in the International Conventions.Many maintained the need for an international treaty to cover pollution from offshore activities with particular reference to transboundary pollution and, thus, the current uniform liability regime on the subject was established. Offshore oil and gas operations often take place in locations that depend on tourism for a large part of their income, such as the Mediterranean Sea and the Aegean Sea. Sources of law on offshore units in the United Kingdom and Greece are considered, as it is of paramount importance to understand of how national legislations and courts treat offshore units or crafts in the occurrence of an event of an incident.

This research identifies key factors, or safety culture categories, that can be used to help describe the safety culture for the offshore oil and gas industry and develop a comprehensive offshore safety culture assessment toolkit for use by the US Gulf of Mexico (GoM) owners and operators. Detailed questionnaires from selected safety culture frameworks of different industries were collected and analyzed to identify important safety culture factors and key questions for assessment. Safety frameworks from different associations were investigated, including the Center for Offshore Safety (COS), Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The safety culture factors of each of these frameworks were generalized and analyzed. The frequency of the safety culture factors in each framework was analyzed to explore commonality. The literature review and analysis identified a list of common factors among safety culture frameworks.
