Production has started on a North Sea oil rig shut down after a worker died following a fall into the water from the platform last week.
Oil firm Taqa confirmed it had restarted work on the Harding platform, a week after the death of 62-year-old George Bartlett.
Workers have been returning to the platform, which was shut down in the wake of the accident.
The North Lanarkshire man fell from the platform, around 198 miles North East of Aberdeen, on February 27. Despite being airlifted to Gilbert Bain Hospital on Shetland, he later died.
More than 70 workers were removed from the rig in the wake of the accident while investigations were carried out.
“Taqa can confirm that production has now been restarted at the Taqa-operated Harding platform,” the company said in a statement.
“The platform is being up-manned for routine operations.”
