The audit was conducted between 24 September and 1 October 2020.

Objective

The objective of the audit was to verify that Odfjell’s management of the working environment and employee participation on Deepsea Nordkapp complied with the regulatory requirements.

  • Management of risk of musculoskeletal disorders
  • Management of the physical/chemical working environment
  • Routines for the use and maintenance of protective equipment
