The audit was conducted from 26 to 29 January 2026.

Objective

The objective of the audit was to verify that Equinor’s management and follow-up of logistics and work at height at Gina Krog comply with the company’s and the authorities’ requirements.

Result

The audit identified four non-conformities in the following areas:

  • Follow-up of the management system for materials handling and the safe use of lifting equipment
  • Deck operators holding combined positions
  • Overhead crane in the wellhead area
  • Hose reel with pinch point hazard

In addition, we observed two factors that we have chosen to categorise as improvement points. These concerned:

  • Temporary lifting equipment
  • Rescue team for rescue at height

What happens now?

We have asked Equinor Energy AS to report to us by 10 August 2026 on how the non-conformities will be addressed and for their assessment of the improvement points observed.
