"This working paper is directed towards the prevention of stress in the offshore exploration and production industries. Many recommendations are given to reduce work stress, but it must be acknowledged that on any mobile drilling rig or fixed production platform there exists a great diversity of occupations and skill levels. This means that a step-by step-guide for stress prevention for each specific occupational offshore group is beyond the scope of this paper.
It is suggested that the "Triple A" approach to stress management be adopted in the offshore environment. It incorporates: AWARENESS, ANALYSIS, ACTION."
