What does “good” look like? You can read Regulations Standards and Guidance documents, but does this help translate to what is happening onsite? The British Drilling Association (BDA) has produced a series of videos to demonstrate what “good” looks like.

These videos focus on individual tasks and what is required to perform them safely, and in line with the relevant Standards.
