The audit was conducted from 13 to 17 November 2023.

Objective

The objective of the audit was to verify that the alarm management systems and expertise complied with the regulations and internal requirements, and also to monitor how ConocoPhillips follows up working hours and workload on Ekofisk J, so that conditions harmful to health are avoided and that the risk of failure, hazard and accident situations is reduced.

Result

Three non-conformities were identified during the audit. These comprised:

  • Registration and follow-up of recorded working hours
  • Breach of the working hours provisions
  • Work arrangements

We also observed two factors that we have chosen to categorise as improvement points. These concerned:

  • Competence in the regulations for working hours.
  • Work processes for the systematic management of the psychosocial and organisational working environment.

What happens now?

We have asked ConocoPhillips to report by 8 March 2024 on how the non-conformities will be addressed and for their assessment of the improvement points observed.
