The Piper Alpha Production Platform exploded on the 6th July 1988 in the North Sea, killing 167 men – fathers, sons, brothers, loved ones and colleagues. It remains the world’s worst-ever offshore disaster. Within 2 hours, the Piper Alpha went from being one of the world’s largest oil producers to the burning wreckage. It left just 61 survivors.

In honour of all those who perished that night, we encourage you to take time out to remember and reflect on the importance of remaining vigilant at your worksite, protecting yourself and your work colleagues.
