“For this reason we are working on the root causes to understand why the incidents occur,” says Nilsson.

Through the Always Safe annual wheel Equinor is cooperating with other operator companies and external suppliers to reduce the probability of major accidents and to better understand what conditions prevent us from working safely. The annual wheel and learning packages help us repeat and fortify the work.

“We take these numbers seriously, and we focus on transparency in safety. We need a good reporting culture to be able to learn from incidents. To prevent incidents, we must learn from both incidents and ordinary work situations. This is crucial to improve our safety results,” says Nilsson.
