The audit was conducted from 12 to 14 August 2024 and formed part of our processing of Macro’s application for an Acknowledgment of Compliance (AoC) for Haven.
Objective
The objective of the audit was to verify that Macro’s management of materials handling and use and maintenance of lifting equipment on board Haven comply with the regulatory requirements.
Result
Eight non-conformities were identified during the audit. These comprised:
- Organisation of work in respect of hose station operation
- Competence in inspection of wire rope
- Maintenance of wire rope
- Pre-use checks of offshore crane as part of the emergency preparedness plan
- Deficiencies in the offshore crane
- Escape route from the offshore crane
- Access to crane boom
- Deficient arrangements for checking and testing unsecured lifting equipment
We also observed one factor that we have chosen to categorise as an improvement point. This concerned:
- Deficiencies in governing documents for lifting operations
What happens now?
We have asked Macro to report to us by 18 October 2024 on how the non-conformities will be addressed and for their assessment of the improvement point observed.
