Wood Group Mustang Norway AS – use of temporary hires

The audit was conducted in June 2022.

Background

The statutory regulation of the supervision of temporary hires in the Working Environment Act was amended with effect from 1 July 2020. The PSA thereby gained the authority to investigate fulfilment of the conditions of hire from temporary-work agencies and the requirement for equal treatment when hiring workers. The user undertaking’s obligation to provide information to the temporary-work agency is also comprised by this extended supervisory responsibility.

Objective

The objective of the audit was to verify whether Wood's hiring of employees from temporary-work agencies complies with the Working Environment Act requirements.

Result

One non-conformity was identified linked to routines for ensuring the legality of temporary hires.

What happens next?

We have asked Wood to report on how the non-conformity will be addressed. The deadline for reply is set at 16 September 2022.
