The number of offshore oil and gas leaks that could lead to a serious accident at work have fallen in the last year, new figures shows.
Statistics from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) show there were 73 major or significant hydrocarbon releases associated with offshore installations in 2010/11, down from 85 the previous year.
Meanwhile, accident claims from employees and their families may also have fallen, as the combined fatal and major injury rate dropped to 151.8 per 100,000 workers, against 192 per 100,000 in 2009/10.
There were 432 dangerous occurrences reported in 2010/11, 11 fewer than the previous year.
Steve Walker, HSE head of offshore safety, said that although the statistics were positive, more needs to be done.
"Hydrocarbon releases are a key indicator of how well the offshore industry is managing its major accident risks, and the industry still hasn't matched or exceeded the record lows of two years ago," he added.
It comes after the HSE released figures showing a rise in the number of workplace fatalities in the UK over the last 12 months.

Lu tells the heartbreaking, nearly unbearable story with compassion, controlled fury and unflinching realism.
It's a film strong enough to change your life, if you can bear to watch it at all.
This is hardly a film to recommend as entertainment. As an act of remembrance, though, it is singular and, in its way, soaring.
It's a muscular, physical movie, pieced together from arresting imagery and revelatory gestures, large and small.
Lu does more with the first 50 minutes than some directors accomplish in 10 movies.
Lu's distinction lies in the cinematic virtuosity he brings to orchestrating carnage, the calculated attention he pays to human interest, and the globalist, universalizing attitude inherent in both.
Exquisitely shot in black and white, with a rare attention to detail and dramatic complexity, "City of Life and Death" is a timelessly great film that commands our collective attention.
In almost any form, the story of the Nanking atrocities can leave you profoundly shaken. But Lu Chuan's version may be the most compassionate and emotionally satisfying treatment to date.
Here, in bloodless miniature, is the true obscenity of war.
There is real beauty in its effort to comprehend the incomprehensible.
among the greatest war films ever made
Chinese filmmaker Chuan Lu has tackled a vast and ambitious subject in City of Life and Death. I knew very little about the siege on Nanjing (or Nanking, as Westerners have long referred to it) in 1937; I feel as if I understand it now, in all...
Despite a puzzling, ridiculously benign view of Japanese sex slaves, this is a brutal depiction of the bestiality of the Japanese Rape of Nanjing that is long overdue.
There is no way to soften the events presented, even though Lu spares us some documented atrocities that are as bad or worse than what we see. The result is both moving and exhausting.
A work of grim art told with relentlessly restless curiosity about the human capacity for survival.
The most visceral war film since Saving Private Ryan - a portrait of the hopeless in the grasp of a sadistic oppressor.
...it is this humanity, standing beside horrific crimes against same, which makes "City of Life and Death" one of the greatest war films.
The almost documentary look makes you feel the despair, the tragedy and the horror as the film brings the viewer into this brief moment in history.
Action and ultimate tragedy shot in spectacular black and white. One of the great war films.
First feature on horrors from the Chinese point of view of the Japanese Rape of Nanking is impressive as...a humanistic epic...of brutal mass executions...by ordinary soldiers.
Chuan's attempt is certainly admirable in the time and care put towards honoring those at Nanking, but the effort is misguided and its propagandist take feels hollow and disappointing.

Consultants to a business offer invaluable expertise that aim to help your business succeed, or achieve its goals. however, there are also instances wherein small business consulting feels disconnected or not utilized fully by business owners who have hired them. This results in doubt about how productive can these consulting services be and what value they can offer to a business. The burden here lies in the business owner because it is their responsibility to look for small business consultants that will become productive in their agreement.The services of a small business consultant is geared more towards small or starting businesses. however, even established businesses can benefit from this kind of service, too. The common situations wherein a consulting firm would be of help is when the business is undergoing expansion or in a transition period. Needless to say, a consulting firm can prove valuable at various stages of the business.There are two ways to ensure that a small business consultant can provide value to your business: 1) choosing the right consultant and 2) building a good working relationship with the firm.Choosing the right ConsultantThis is an important part of the process if you want to take your business to the next level. you need to be as thorough in the selection process as possible.You must begin by conducting an in-depth initial interview and ask them for a pitch. In addition, if they claim to be an expert on a particular field, they should provide a convincing argument as proof for this. Remember, you will be investing on that expertise, so they must be able to deliver. you can also seek opinion from previous clients to see how well they have delivered work. it will also reveal other crucial factors that you can use for deciding whether to hire a firm, such as reputation, work ethics, and ability to deliver beyond what the task requires of them.The most important qualification, though, that you should not miss out on is the alignment of your personal qualities to that of the consulting team. This goes outside of a business level as it is also important that you relate to the firm or individual on a personal level.Working with a Business ConsultantBefore you finalize an agreement with a business consultant, there are three vital factors that you should focus on. first, you need to determine the scope of the work and examine how flexible the firm is in accommodating your needs. second, you must determine how payments are positioned throughout the entire phase of your contract. And third, you must be straightforward on deliverables such as how much budget to allocate on a task and the period wherein they are to be completed.Small business consultants enable you to stay updated with the market trends, newest business marketing techniques, and customer preferences to gain competitive advantage. without a business consultant, you would have to undergo trial and error in resolving problems within your business. And any business owner is aware that trial and error is very costly. you can therefore leverage the knowledge and expertise of a consulting firm to determine how you can reduce the amount of risks and tackle management problems more productively.Honest and constant communication is another important aspect of small business consulting, that is if you want to maximize value. And of course, you need to be able to assess the consultant?s dedication to your business to ensure that they are committed to your long-term success.
