Health an Safety Executive/Maritime & Coastguard Agency

Close relations are maintained by ERRVA with appropriate government departments and agencies including, particularly, the Health and Safety Executive and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency

("Input from the Association to government bodies has played a part in the formation of several pieces of legislation such as the Prevention of Fire and Explosion, and Emergency Response Regulations and accompanying Approved Code of Practice. It has also helped to bring about the transfer from government aspects of the provision of offshore emergency response and rescue services.)"

OEUK

ERRVA maintains a very close liaison with OEUK both informally and through a Joint Working Group which meets every three months.

Cogent/OPITO

Training of crew members in specialist areas of rescue and recovery is coordinated by the Offshore Petroleum Industry Training Organisation (OPITO/COGENT). The Association is represented on the Training Standards Committee of OPITO/COGENT and on all the Work Groups that develop new ERRV crew training standards.
