QHSSE is central to everything we do. Through a relentless pursuit of the very best QHSSE 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.
Safe – Secure – Efficient
Safety performance continues to be our top priority, and our goals are to operate equally
safely and reliably in the year to come. The emphasis on quality has been crucial to the
high safety standards of the company. Safety at Odfjell Drilling depends on both
individual responsibility and collective effort. While every person must take ownership of
their own safety, collaboration, structured processes, and a strong safety culture are
equally critical.
This 2026 QHSSE program continues the safety journey from 2025 with a focus on
continuous improvement within the following:
• Prevent major accidents and well control incidents
• Strengthen the working environment with a zero-tolerance towards harassment
• Ensure safe crane/lifting operations
• Simplify and standardise procedures
• Maintain vigilance on security and cyber security threats
• Minimise our environmental impact
We shall foster a learning mindset, also from our failures. The commitment and efforts
of every team member are essential to maintaining high standards and a safe
workplace.Kjetil Gjersdal
