Design and Relocation Notifications

Since the UK left the EU, the Offshore Major Accident Regulator (OMAR) is now the UKs Offshore Competent Authority (previously known as the Offshore Safety Directive Regulator (OSDR). How HSE regulate the offshore industry stays the same. Our guidance will be updated to reflect this change.

The following framework diagram describes the process by which OMAR will inspect design and relocation notifications.

Templates have been developed for use by OMAR topic specialists to assist in the inspection of design and relocation notifications.

Design & Relocation Notifications Initial Review Template (.docx) [34]
Dutyholders are requested to complete and send the Initial Review Template with notifications submitted to OMAR.

Management Systems & Verification – will use the same template as Safety Case Assessment
