BSEE Office’s Best Practice Suggested for BSEE-Wide Application

During a recent investigation into allegations of falsified safety reports for offshore platforms regulated by the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), we learned that one BSEE office developed an internal checklist that facilitated the collection of accurate and complete information about an operator’s internal platform visits.

Our management advisory alerts BSEE leadership to this practice, and we suggest that BSEE consider incorporating this checklist throughout BSEE’s inspection program to ensure that essential information is consistently captured during annual inspections.
