DGS-UNMIG - Safety measures
Italy has an indicator of injuries for millions of tep produced lowest than other Countries (0.26 in 2014). Nevertheless the Directorate general for safety - Na onal mining office for hydrocarbons and georesources (DGS-UNMIG) of the Ministry of Economic Development wants to improve the already good safety measures of offshore Oil&Gas opera ons in applica on of

D.Lgs 18 august, 2015 n.145 (transporta on of Direc ve 2013/30/UE) and with respect to the D.Lgs 26 june, 2012 n.83.
With this prospec ve DGS-UNMIG started agreements with University, Research Ins tu ons and Authori es obtaining a scien fic support (CNR, RSE, INGV, OGS, AMRA, CRIET, Navy, Harbor Body and Universi es).

The pillars of E&P Safety
The interest is on five pillars of E&P safety opera ons :
- Control: tes ng and constant monitoring of the safety objec ves expected.
- Competence: the increased competence and knowledge in the field of safety by research ac vi es. - Efficiency: the improvement of exis ng by promo ng efficiency opera ons.
- Research & Innova on: the promo on of technological and process innova on. - Dialog: a renewed ac on for dialogue with stakeholders and ci zens.

The agreements: work in progress
1) DGS-UNMIG has started 14 technical collabora ons with University, Research Ins tu ons and Authori es since january 2014.
2) Other 2 collabora ons will start soon with University of Naples and Guardia di Finanza. 3) Un l today have been achieved 30% of the objec ves set by the agreements.
4) The main developed topics of the collabora ons are “Control” and “Competence” by improving skills and knowledge of safety in E&P ac vi es.
