- Abstract
- This report examines how Norway’s and EU’s regulations set requirements to environmental barriers. The result is based on a review of relevant regulations and an interview study with personnel from the drilling industry. The result shows that the main difference between the regulations is that EU explicitly focuses on environmental critical elements and that the tradition within the industry is to focus on barriers related to safety for personnel. The report proposes improvement areas to decrease the risk of major accidents on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
