About UKOOA:

The guidelines are co-sponsored by The Health and Safety Executive and the Institute of Petroleum.

The purpose of these guidelines is to provide operators of Offshore Installations, Drilling Facilities and Onshore Plants with a reference framework of management, technical controls and procedures necessary to ensure the continued integrity of flexible hose assemblies throughout their lifecycle.

It is the responsibility of the Asset Owner in the offshore sector or the Duty Holder of an onshore installation to ensure that the maintenance and integrity management requirements of these guidelines are developed and implemented within the engineering design, construction, operations, maintenance and inspection process and other relevant management systems. The responsibilities include personnel competency assurance, the development, implementation and review of maintenance strategies and controls, the correct execution of the work and the appointment of responsible personnel.
