The Helicopter Operations Safety Committee (HOSC) was created in response to the Offshore Helicopter Safety Inquiry (OHSI) and the OHSI Implementation Team in its Advising Document for OHSI Recommendation 20 (for the involvement of workers and pilots in helicopter safety). It was recommended that a single entity should be developed with a clearly defined mandate, to bring together all stakeholders to enhance helicopter transport safety.
In February 2014, administration of the HOSC transferred from the C-NLOPB to offshore oil and gas operators in NL. The minutes of the January 22, 2014 committee meeting was the last document prepared by C-NLOPB. Subsequent HOSC documents prepared by the Operators are provided here for information purposes only.
