The audit was conducted from 1 to 28 November 2022.

Objective

The objective of the audit was to monitor that the management of maintenance, including the company’s own follow-up of ongoing changes that affect the management of maintenance, comply with the authorities’ and their own requirements. A further objective was to verify that efforts to improve the management of maintenance are ensuring that significant contributors to HSE risk are identified and followed up.

Result

We identified three non-conformities during the audit. These concerned:

  • classification
  • maintenance programme
  • deficient planning and prioritisation

We also identified three improvement points. These concerned:

  • maintenance programme
  • knowledge of barriers
  • collection, processing and use of data

What happens next?

We have asked Aker BP to report to us by 27 February 2023 on how the non-conformities will be addressed, and to give us their assessment of the improvement points observed.
