Update from Sumburgh Helicopter Accident Response (SHAR) | 2

Here is another snippet I picked up by way of comparison between the UK and Norway on helicopter safety.

Quote:

In the years 1999 to 2009 there was twelve helicopter accidents in the North Sea. Of those twelve, eleven was on the Uk side and one on the Norwegian side. None fatalities in the Norwegian accident, the number of fatalities on the UK side was 34 fatalities in three of the eleven accidents. Total hours flown in the same period was 7,8 million on the Norwegian side and 6,1 million on the UK side. Total man hours flown was 7,8 million on the Norwegian side and 6,1 million on the UK side.
