Purpose – The purpose of this paper it to provide practitioner and researcher lessons learned from applying a  safety culture maturity model in the oil and gas industry in Thailand. It proposes a  roadmap to improve safety culture maturity in an organizationDesign/methodology/approach – A  safety culture maturity of 5 levels was chosen (Hudson’s model) to be applied in oil and gas company, and a  questionnaire survey was conducted with 2,251 employees or 74% of the target group across the company. The results were used to develop a  roadmap to improve the safety culture maturity of the company.Findings – Results from questionnaire survey showed a  safety culture maturity level of the company is at 3.3, or calculative, with correlations among competency, work planning, worksite techniques, hazard reporting, responsibility and benchmarking elements. Using these findings, a  roadmap was developed into 5 action plans to improve the safety culture maturity level for the company in the long term.Practical implications – This paper could serve practitioners as a  guideline and a  tool to understand and implement safety culture maturity concept in an organization. Originality/value - This paper also furnishes lesson learned for practitioners in the same and different industries on safety culture maturity implementation and assessment in organizations.

This paper explores the literature to identify common occupational injuries, diseases, and psychological wellbeing on oil rigs as well as the negative environmental impacts of the upstream oil and gas sector. It ends by making recommendations for effective health, safety, and environmental (HSE) management. Review of the literature showed that contusion (bruise), cuts, and laceration are the commonest occupational injuries that workers on the oil rig suffer and that the injuries mostly affect the hand and finger, leg, and eyes of the offshore workers. These injuries were found to be caused mostly by direct stroke, jamming and overstrain. Similarly, accidental poisoning, musculoskeletal disorders, respiratory disorders and diseases of the digestive system were also documented as the commonest occupational diseases among offshore workers. The literature also shows that working offshore is associated with poorer psychological wellbeing or health; this is to say that offshore workers tend to experience higher levels of stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, low job satisfaction (particularly with the environmental conditions associated with their work), and sleep disorders. Finally, the literature review indicated that land-use problems, air pollution, acid rain, climate change, habitat disruption, environmental degradation, oil spills and leakages are some of environmental impacts of upstream oil production. This review was concluded by recommending some measures for the management of the HSE hazards associated with the oil and gas sector.
