QHSE is central to everything we do. Through a relentless pursuit of the very best QHSE standards, we can not only safeguard health and environment, but also continuously enhance our business and ensure high quality deliveries for our clients around the world.
Competence and Capacity – the key to safety
“A key to safety within our industry is to ensure the right competence and capacity. Competence and capacity are paramount in order to maintain a high level of safety in our daily operations and in our industry facing changes related to automation, digitalisation, introduction of new operation models and projects related to new forms of energy. Competence and capacity are therefore highlighted in the Odfjell Drilling’s QHSE programme for 2022. The programme identifies areas that are important for us in order to maintain and further develop the quality of our processes, our safety standards and environmental performance. This to ensure we operate safely and in accordance to our stakeholders expectations in 2022. Continue to think about safety in everything you do, both at work and in your personal lives – and never compromise on safety.”
