Equinor – Njord A – Technical safety, process safety and electrical facilities

Objective

The objective was to verify that Equinor’s management and follow-up of the project within the domains of technical safety, process safety and electrical facilities comply with the company’s own and the authorities’ requirements, so as to reduce the likelihood of failures.

Result

A non-conformity was identified concerning inadequate preservation.

In addition, two improvement points were identified in connection with:

• Lack of permanently installed facilities for firefighting
• Improved monitoring that risk acceptance criteria for personnel work as intended

What happens next?

Equinor has been given a deadline of 20 November 2019 to report on how the non-conformity and improvement points will be addressed.
