This is a previous event

The conference builds on the previous meetings we have organised under the name Arctic Safety. The objective is to examine the safety challenges in the Barents Sea in the context of the work carried out by the PSA and the industry.

Over two days, we will be presenting the results from our projects and providing status reports on the key safety-related projects currently in progress.

Here you can read more about our projects in relation to development of new knowledge in the Arctic areas.

Representatives from Norwegian and foreign oil companies, government agencies, trade unions and employers' organisations will also be taking the floor.
