The rig intake process will be based on technical conditions and requirements, include evaluation of management systems, maintenance systems, operational- and organizational requirements, training and competence, and historical performance and conditions, with emphasis on aspects with high risk or influence on Health, Safety and Environment.

The extent and detail level of verification and inspection activities to be carried out, are dependent on both the actual MODU’s (and Contractor’s) former operational experience from the Norwegian Continental Shelf, as well as the operator's knowledge and experience with the Contractor/MODU. 

We see a need for better understanding of the interaction between operational, organisational and technical elements in barriers, and of the relationship between risk management and managing barriers.

What must the industry do?

• The industry must ensure that relationships between risk assessments and barrier management are made clear, and that these occupy a central place in managing operations.
   

• Robust and specific barrier strategies and performance requirements must be developed. And operational, organisational and technical barrier elements must be manifested in risk assessments.
