The audit was conducted from 22 to 30 January 2025.

Background

In recent years, Havtil has found a number of regulatory breaches in respect of the working hours provisions. In order to plan and properly manage an individual’s working hours, a system for registering and following up working hours is a prerequisite.

The purpose of Section 10-7 of the Working Environment Act and Section 7 of the Activities Regulations is both that the company itself shall have the necessary overview of working hours and that the supervisory authorities are able to verify that the working hours provisions are complied with.

Objective

The objective of the audit was to verify that Odfjell Drilling has a system for registering and following up working hours offshore.

Result

The audit identified three non-conformities concerning the following:

  • Registration of working hours
  • Procedures and work processes
  • Competence

What happens now?

We have asked Odfjell Drilling to report to us by 16 May 2025 on how the non-conformities will be addressed.
