From 26 February 2018 to 22 March 2018, Norway’s Petroleum Safety Authority (PSA) carried out an audit of Point Resources’s Jotun A. The audit aimed to find how the company is ensuring compliance with requirements about major accident risk, including the company’s processes for risk, barrier and maintenance management.
In the audit, PSA identified non-conformities relating to barrier management, decision support, risk analyses, maintenance and the management of maintenance, classification, the maintenance programme, tagging, maintenance of Ex equipment and follow-up of maintenance effectiveness.

It identified improvement points for the documentation of the impact of automatic water deluge in the event of confirmed gas detection, penetrations in fire walls, the emergency shutdown system, and planning and prioritisation.
PSA mentioned:
Our audit showed that Point Resources needs to focus attention on the development, implementation and follow-up of the company’s processes relating to major accidents and the relationship between risk, barrier and maintenance management. This is based on the non-conformities, improvement points and comments in the report.
As a result, PSA asked Point Resources to inform them by 15 August 2018 of how the non-conformities will be addressed, and of their assessment of the improvement points PSA reported.
