Workforce Report 2018
WORKFORCE REPORT 2018
The decline in offshore workers has been spread across a range of disciplines. The number of workers employed in maintenance roles has fallen by 17 per cent (1,404) since 2014, as operators looked to optimise their maintenance regimes to improve efficiency and productivity. This has been achieved without compromise to safety and alongside a reduction in maintenance backlog levels. There has also been a 35 per cent (1,636) decline in drilling employees reflecting the 40 per cent fall in the total number of wells drilled on the UKCS since 2014.
