Conclusions

• Compared with national statistics, the offshore industry appears to be characterised by lower mean age, a lower rhythm of ageing, and less absence due to illness.

• The industry challenges vary a lot between individual companies, and within larger companies. There is no general agreement that ageing and health are the major HSE challenges for the industry in the years to come.

• The measures that the industry has implemented to meet its challenges in connection with an ageing work force, are largely general HSE measures directed at the entire work force.

SummaryAgeing and health

• The final report is not yet ready. However ….

• Not easy to achieve results• Continuous work in the companies and the organisations. Solutions

must be tailored to the company and controlled by the parties in the company on the basis of available resources

• The organisations have to cooperate and act in unity and with authority to promote cooperation in the companies

• The organisations must continually inform and inspire the parties in the companies and create good networks that benefit the parties in the companies

• This work must have firm support from the company management.

OLF Oljeindustriens Landsforening www.olf.no

SummaryLife-long learning for older employees

• Clarify and delimit the organisations’ role in this work

• The organisations can work in the same way as in the project ”Ageing and health on the Shelf” to achieve life-long learning for older employees in the companies
