The audit concerned the operator Equinor and was conducted between 16 January and 11 March 2020.
Objective
The objective of the audit was to assess how Equinor ensures compliance with the authorities’ requirements in respect of the management of major accident risk and barriers at Troll A.
Result
Two non-conformities with the regulations were identified. These concerned:
- Capacity and competence
- Labelling of equipment on the facility
In addition, five conditions were observed that we have categorised as improvement points. These concerned:
- Uncertainties in documents describing the organisational model
- Moisture in emergency lighting
- Fire resistance
- Explosion pressure
- Site-specific expertise
What happens now?
We have asked Equinor to report on how the non-conformities will be addressed. We have also asked for an assessment of the improvement points observed.
The reply deadline is set at 15 May 2020.
