Offshore Mindfulness Health and Safety Conference
Join us on February 25
What are new research based methods for advancing offshore safety and operational excellence? The University of Houston, in tandem with Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc. and Baker Hughes, conducted offshore research surrounding the use of mindfulness practice in offshore oil and gas personnel. The final phase of the study consisted of a 28-day data collection, measuring various well-being indicators and an individual's reported mindfulness practice. We will discuss our study results and their implications. Leading researchers and industry partners will also present offshore health and safety research and discuss future directions of offshore health and safety interventions and research.
