Abstract
Summary This is a comparison of the regulatory regimes related to health and safety in the offshore petroleum sector in Norway and Brazil. Even though Norway and Brazil show principal similarities regarding the legal system, they have chosen quite different strategies related to regulation of occupational health and safety in the petroleum sector. The Norwegian legislation seems to rely highly upon the willingness of the actors to work closely together to shape a culture supporting safety. If there are greater tensions and conflicts in the industry or in the surrounding society, the Brazilian model may give better control with defined risk factors.
