18th June, 2013 @ 07.54 am

Oil & Gas UK held a major offshore safety conference this summer, which marked the 25th anniversary of the Piper Alpha disaster.

Piper 25 was a three-day event held at Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre from 18 to 20 June 2013. It aimed to bring together people from across the oil and gas industry to reflect on the lessons learnt from the tragedy, review how far offshore safety has evolved since and to reinforce industry commitment to continuous improvement.

With Piper Alpha as a central theme, the conference also explored broader safety issues and featured high profile international speakers from a diverse range of backgrounds.

Safelift exhibited the Emergency Response Basket at the Piper 25 conference. The unit is specifically designed to handle a stretcher including 2-off shock absorbing impact seats for a medic and first aider to accompany the casualty in the event of an accident. The basket can then be lifted by crane to enable the casualty to be taken to the required deck for treatment. The emergency response basket is manufactured to a full offshore specification and exceeds current legislation requirements. It can also be used as a general work access basket for daily use.
