The audit was conducted from 8 to 26 September 2025.

Objective

The objective of the audit was to assess how Equinor ensures compliance with regulatory requirements concerning the prevention of major accidents and acute personal injuries in the design and follow-up of selected technical safety functions and the performance of work operations where pressure poses a risk.

Result

We identified one non-conformity, relating to documentation.

We also identified three improvement points. These concerned:

  • Establishment and follow-up of performance requirements
  • Follow-up of maintenance programme
  • Measures to correct weaknesses

What happens next?

We have asked Equinor to report to us by 9 January 2026 on how the non-conformity will be addressed, and to give us their assessment of the improvement points observed.
