A Healthy Workforce Enhances Safety<br /><br />The oil and gas industry employs a significant portion of the population in the UK, with nearly half a million people engaged in the onshore and offshore operations for various companies in the sector. Oil & Gas UK is a trade organisation representing these companies, and it frequently hosts events and workshops related to important topics of the day. In 2014, one of the breakfast briefings shall include a discussion about employee health in the workplace.
