The high safety level in the Norwegian petroleum industry is of fundamental significance to the country. We must now ensure an equally high level of security, and we must see the bigger picture. The work on security and safety are closely intertwined aspects of the same issue.
Companies, organisations and authorities must maintain current knowledge of the threat and risk picture, and work to remediate vulnerabilities. Norway must be able to maintain operations and energy supplies even if we are impacted by serious incidents. Resilience is collectively owned and strengthened by the community.
Our greatest challenge is upon us. It requires dedication, insight, willingness and knowledge.
Our industry leaders feel the shared weight of their responsibility. Never has it been more crucial for the parties to stand united, shoulder to shoulder.
