The Fire and Blast Information Group (FABIG) was created in 1992 following the Piper Alpha disaster, to collate and disseminate the latest knowledge and best practice in fire and explosion engineering within the oil and gas industry, via a range of activities including the organisation of technical meetings, the development of technical publications and participation in research projects.

The range of technical topics covered by FABIG has broadened over the years and now goes beyond hydrocarbon related hazards to cover all major industrial fire and explosion hazards, both offshore and onshore.
