Evacuation Kit Bag Service

The Mutual Aid Evacuation Kit Bag Service began in 2009 and was set up by Response Consultants. Today the service is managed by Wenaas Workwear UK and is funded by an annual subscription fee paid for by Oil and Gas companies within Aberdeen.

The service has vastly improved the resilience of operators in meeting the humanitarian needs of evacuees from offshore installations. In the event of personnel being evacuated from an offshore installation, kit bags containing essential clothing and hygiene products are available on stand-by to all companies concerned for the welfare of their employees.

More details about the Evacuation Kit Bag service can be found below. If you would like to be a subscriber of this essential service, please contact Claire Forbes at Response Consultants or Lee Taylor at Wenaas workwear.
