The audit was carried out between 21 and 24 September 2021.

Objective

The objective of the audit was to verify that Island Offshore's management of the working environment complied with the regulatory requirements, as well as to follow up non-conformities from a previous working environment audit. The audit focused on the following topics:

  • Individual and combined risks for different groups on board Island Constructor
  • Mapping of the working environment on the facility, both area and exposure mappings, as well as the psychosocial and organisational working environment
  • Prioritisation and follow-up of measures
  • Roles and responsibilities within the working environment both in the onshore organisation and on board
  • System for safeguarding capacity and competence within the working environment
  • Non-conformity management of conditions within the working environment
  • Employee participation on board
  • Continuous improvement and follow-up of findings from previous audits of the company and Island Wellserver within the working environment

We identified a total of seven non-conformities and one improvement point in the audit.

The non-conformities included

  • Management of the working environment
  • Competence, roles and responsibilities within the working environment
  • Noise
  • Chemical health hazards
  • Lighting
  • Ergonomic arrangements
  • Working environment committee (AMU)
