The audit was performed with assistance from the Civil Aviation Authority Norway (CAA Norway).
Objective
The objective of this audit was to review and evaluate the company’s management of emergency preparedness and helicopter operation at Ekofisk 2/4-L. We requested a presentation of the processes that COPSAS has established to ensure that prerequisites, limitations and recommendations in the emergency preparedness analysis are provided for, and that they are communicated out to the emergency preparedness organisation.
The purpose of the audit was also to prevent air incidents which may be attributable to the helicopter deck or its operation.
Result
No non-conformities were detected during the audit in respect of emergency preparedness management but certain issues were identified where there was potential for improvement.
The CAA Norway made observations relating to helicopter operations and the helideck.
