The Offshore Major Accident Regulator (OMAR) strategy outlines a unified, risk-based framework for regulating offshore major accident hazards following the UK’s departure from the EU.
It establishes joint governance by HSE’s Energy Division and OPRED, backed by annual oversight and an advisory committee, to streamline safety case assessments, inspections, cost recovery, and enforcement. The strategy emphasizes transparent information sharing, appeals processes, and collaboration with industry and stakeholders to ensure consistent, effective, and accountable regulation of offshore oil and gas operations.
