Ask the Expert: Offshore Mental Health Support and Employee Wellbeing

Offshore employees must maintain a high level of situational awareness to manage operational risk at all times. Going deeper, companies must manage psychosocial risk as another critical safety barrier in increasingly demanding and remote environments. Regulatory frameworks such as ISO 45003 offshore compliance, Brazil NR01- MTE Ordinance No. 1.419/2004, and other global occupational safety standards highlight the necessity of continuously monitoring psychosocial risk as part of operational safety and employee wellbeing to prevent incidents on board.

For over a decade, CEPEM Business Psychology, based in Rio de Janeiro, has applied its expertise in human factors and business psychology to provide a proactive, data-driven approach to safeguarding offshore mental health and wellbeing.

With 20 years of experience in human factors in the oil and gas industry, CEO Fernanda Sola outlines how CEPEM provides mental health services to the offshore industry through a global network of 60 psychologists who understand offshore’s unique operating conditions.
