Objective
The objective of the audit of emergency preparedness was to monitor that Transocean has worked systematically to prevent major accidents, and that the facility's emergency preparedness organisation, equipment and systems are properly fulfilling emergency preparedness functions during winter operations. The objective within the working environment domain was to assess whether Transocean's systems and practice for following up working environment risk during activity in a cold climate met the regulatory requirements.
