• Why do staff quit before retirement age? Do they
  lack a willingness to work, ability, or health?
• What can you do to improve the situation?

Conclusions

• Compared with national statistics, the offshore
  industry appears to be characterised by lower
  mean age, a lower rhythm of ageing, and less
  absence due to illness.
• The industry challenges vary a lot between
  individual companies, and within larger
  companies. There is no general agreement that
  ageing and health are the major HSE challenges
  for the industry in the years to come.
• The measures that the industry has implemented to
  meet its challenges in connection with an ageing
  work force, are largely general HSE measures
  directed at the entire work force.

21
SummaryAgeing and health

• The final report is not yet ready. However .
• Not easy to achieve results
• Continuous work in the companies and the
  organisations. Solutions must be tailored to the
  company and controlled by the parties in the
  company on the basis of available resources
• The organisations have to cooperate and act in
  unity and with authority to promote cooperation
  in the companies
• The organisations must continually inform and
  inspire the parties in the companies and create
  good networks that benefit the parties in the
  companies
• This work must have firm support from the company
  management.

22
SummaryLife-long learning for older employees

• Clarify and delimit the organisations role in
  this work
• The organisations can work in the same way as in
  the project Ageing and health on the Shelf to
  achieve life-long learning for older employees in
  the companies
