New Tools, Old Tasks - Safety Implications of New Technologies Work Processes for

New Tools, Old Tasks explores how Integrated Operations (IO) will influence the safety of offshore drilling operations. The book is based on several years of practical experience combined with a research study on the safety of IO within the drilling domain. The book explores how safety can be understood in the change process of Integrated Operations, and provides recommendations for how IO may be developed and implemented in a way that will benefit both safety and efficiency.
