Safety and Environmental Management Systems (SEMS)

SEMS: In 2010, in response to the Deepwater Horizon disaster, safety and environmental program (SEMP) was made a legal requirement. The rule is known as the safety and environmental management system (SEMS). This chapter describes this new rule that applies to the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) of the USA.
