The objective of the audit was to verify that the management and follow-up of materials handling, and safe use and maintenance of lifting equipment on Oseberg Sør comply with the regulatory requirements.
Result
We identified two non-conformities during the audit. These concerned:

We also identified three improvement points. These concerned:
