Offshore staff
ABERDEEN, UK – Oil & Gas UK (OGUK) has called on its member companies to donate spare personal protective equipment (PPE) to local boards and trusts of Britain’s National Health Service, care homes or charities.
Demand for PPE remains critical to the health sector’s response to COVID-19 in Britain, not solely to protect staff, but also hospital patients and care home residents.
The UK offshore oil and gas industry uses PPE widely, and the association is supporting a campaign with TSG Marine to encourage companies to check their inventories of face masks, contact safety gloves, goggles, chemical suits, paper coveralls, and overshoes and either donate or lend these to those that need it most.
OGUK also acknowledged that many of its companies are doing this already with spare or legacy inventory.
