This amendment is in the interests of endeavouring to establish as clearly as possible what the Bill is to achieve. The purpose of the amendment is to set out clearly that while petroleum undertakings are to be subject to a number of obligations under this legislation, the principal duty of a petroleum undertaking would be to ensure that petroleum activities are carried out in a manner that reduces any risk to safety to a level that is as low as is reasonably feasible.
