Inquiry into offshore helicopter safety continuing today
The Telegram
The inquiry into offshore helicopter safety continues today in St. John’s with additional testimony from the Marine Institute’s Offshore Safety and Survival Centre (OSSC).
On the stand will be OSSC director Bob Rutherford, along with instructors Greg Harvey and Patrick Dohey, taking questions from lawyers as a panel.
OSSC provides safety training for most of the workers in the province’s offshore oil industry.
The inquiry was set up following the March 12 helicopter crash that claimed the lives of 17 of 18 people en route to the Hibernia and White Rose oilfields off the east coast of Newfoundland.
