The organization said Award for Services to Safety will be presented to Bowyer in recognition for his many years support towards Step Change in Safety’s vision.
Step Change in Safety is an industry body which intends to make the UK the safest place to work in the worldwide oil and gas industry.
Mike Bowyer said it’s a tremendous honour and a privilege to receive this award.
"My belief has always been that, while the knowledge required for everyone to understand the part they have to play in keeping themselves and others safe already exists in the industry, the real benefits are in sharing it," added Bowyer.
Mike was part of the Step Change leadership team for five years and led the personal responsibility for Safety (PRfS) workgroup with input from around 50 organisations.
He also took the role of co-chair of the Step Change’s workforce engagement steering group and was intrumental in developing the workforce engagement practical guide and survey tool.
This project, which will enable organisations to measure how well they engage with their onsite workforce and benchmark against the rest of the industry, promises to transform oil and gas industry workforce engagement and play a crucial role in improving safety culture, Oil & Gas UK said.
The other winners of the UK Oil and Gas Industry Safety Awards will be announced at the awards ceremony at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre in Scotland.
