The Alexander Kielland platform was being used as an accommodation block when it capsized in the Norwegian North Sea during a storm in 1980, killing 123 people, including 22 from the UK.
A study by the University of Stavanger has concluded authorities failed the survivors and victims' families, for which the Norwegian government has previously apologised.
Laura Fleming, whose father Michael was among those killed, said the report should help get to the truth of what happened.
Mr Fleming, 37, was one of five men from Cleator Moor, in Cumbria, who died when the floating rig capsized about 200 miles (322km) off the Norwegian coast on 27 March 1980.
