Publisher's Synopsis
To assess the impact and effectiveness of research on HSC/E's wider objectives, an evaluation has been carried out on a group of projects related to particular topside process topics. Design plays a crucial role in safety and, in recent years, HSE have undertaken a considerable number of projects related to design of offshore installations. The study reported here has been undertaken with the overall objectives of assessing the impact on process design that has been achieved by OSD research, and to make recommendations for future impact assessments.
