Safety is vital in any industry, including the offshore sector, which is classified as a major hazard industry. Health, Safet y and the Environment (HSE) identified that the prob a bility of accidents is high while working on the offshore sectors where it will exposed workers to many hazardous work activities. The appropriate measures to prevent acc i dent in this sectors must be laid out clearly. This paper is to identify the effectiveness of safety awareness campaign and the conti- nuity of the awareness among the workers to prevent injuries at of fshore. To achieve this, we have identified the level of awareness and propose a guideline on areas of improvement. Prior of embarking to offshore, staff w e re exposed to safety awareness pr o gram for four weeks. A f ter the program, we started with the pretest to all staff. They were posted off- shore for 6 weeks. Within the period, the performance awareness of each staff is monitored through observation and interview. During the f inal week, the posttest questionnaire were administered to all staff. Two instruments were used for the quantitative data collection, which are Unsafe Act Unsafe Condition (UAUC) card; and Behavior Observation Tool (BOT) card. Questio n naire data were analy zed quantitatively. Paired - sample t - test was used for analyzing pre and post result. The results show that the mean was increased. Recent studies on the safety briefing highlighted several significant changes in terms of e m ployee understanding toward safe ty. Safety awareness training has been introduced in the new safety briefing prior to of f shore mobilization.

This paper is to identify the effectiveness of safety awareness campaign and the continuity of the awareness among the workers to prevent injuries at offshore. To achieve this, we have identified the level of awareness and propose a guideline on areas of improvement. Prior of embarking to offshore, staff were exposed to safety awareness program for four weeks. After the program, we started with the pretest to all staff. They were posted offshore for 6 weeks. Within the period, the performance awareness of each staff is monitored through observation and interview. During the final week, the posttest questionnaire were administered to all staff. Two instruments were used for the quantitative data collection, which are Unsafe Act Unsafe Condition (UAUC) card; and Behavior Observation Tool (BOT) card. Questionnaire data were analyzed quantitatively. Paired-sample t-test was used for analyzing pre and post result. The results show that the mean was increased.
