4.2.3

Are there clear procedures for the handover of information and responsibility between different control room shifts and between different personnel categories?

Frequent changes of personnel are a common source of misunderstandings and communication breaches in offshore organisations. Procedures and checklists for handover must be drawn up and practiced in order to ensure that important information is transferred. In addition, the transfer of information between different personnel categories should be considered, as personnel may operate with different mindsets and different verbal expressions.
