Having operated offshore in both Norway and UK and in many other parts of Europe and the world I can assure you that Norway has by far the best attitude to safety and work practices that I have witnessed.
You probably have not had much response to your post because UK North Sea pilots, and in particular those who work in Aberdeen, have an unshakeable belief that their way is the only way to do things. They also seem to spend their entire working lives in that environment and so have not been exposed to anything else.
