Åge Landro, CEO

Service Quality and HSE represent a top priority

for us not only because they are vital to the success

of our business, but because lives depend on their

successful management.

Central to this is to provide a safe, healthy and

environmentally sustainable workplace for our

employees, contractors and customers.

Additionally, a commitment to operational

excellence and first time quality is key to ensure

we develop the best relationships with our

customers, contractors and the community.

We do this by setting clear roles and responsibilities

and implementing a practical and efficient

management system. This empowers all our

employees with the authority and responsibility

to play their part in maintaining our commitment

to continual improvement.

We must integrate QHSE into everything we do

and strive to set the benchmark for service quality

and HSE performance for others to follow.

Our QHSE Policy is our ‘Licence to Operate’

and we all have a responsibility to protect that.
