## Resource

Offshore safety is not just about PPE, paperwork, or compliance. It is about people, judgement, leadership, resilience, and understanding risk before it becomes an incident. In this episode of Sea Views, Julia Gosling and Adam Parnell are joined by Gordon Foot, MNM FNI | Offshore Client Representative, for a conversation about the reality of life and work offshore. Gordon’s maritime career has taken him from Royal Navy submarines into offshore operations across oil and gas, subsea work, cables, renewables, offshore wind, marine construction, and high-risk maritime environments. His perspective is grounded in decades of practical experience, but the heart of this conversation is the people who make offshore operations work. The discussion explores safety culture, human factors, resilience, self-awareness, teamwork, connectivity at sea, seafarer welfare, mentoring, and why offshore safety has to be lived, not simply written into procedures. Gordon also reflects on the opportunities within the blue economy, the importance of bringing younger people into maritime, and why curiosity, empathy, and strong leadership still matter in an industry shaped by technology, risk, and constant change.
