At the start of 2017, our team of Blomsma 3M™ Certified Safety Sign Installers™ installed a new and up-to-date safety signage system on the E17a offshore platform of the operator ENGIE E&P Netherlands BV.

The implementation of the project began with an on-site inventory after which a sign plan was drawn up. This was based on the ‘ENGIE E&P Nederland Offshore signage standard – North Sea Sector’, which caters for the applicable legislation and regulations as well as the best practices. Following approval of the signage plan by Engie E&P, the internal production work for the materials was commenced. Blomsma’s ‘Platinum’ status in the 3M™ Select Graphic Provider™ programme means that it can meet the stringent requirements that ENGIE has imposed on the materials and the tough weather conditions out on the open sea.
