The audit was conducted from 13 to 16 November 2023.
Objective
The objective of the audit was to verify that Equinor's management and follow-up of crane and lifting operations as well as its maintenance of lifting facilities complied with the regulations and the company’s own requirements, so as to reduce the likelihood of failures.
Result
The audit identified two non-conformities, concerning:
- Organisation of work in respect of the operation of hose stations
- Preparation of the technical manager
We also observed one factor that we have chosen to categorise as an improvement point. This concerned:
- Planning and organisation of work in relation to materials handling
What happens now?
We have asked Equinor to report to us by 11 January 2024 on how the non-conformities will be addressed, and to give us their assessment of the improvement point observed.
