Westcon løfteteknikk – follow-up of enterprise of competence

The Norwegian Ocean Industry Authority (Havtil) has carried out an audit of Westcon løfteteknikk AS (Westcon) and how they undertake the role of enterprise of competence.

The audit was conducted on 28 August 2024.

Objective
The objective of the audit was to verify how Westcon undertakes its remit as an independent enterprise of competence in materials handling, crane and lifting operations. The audit also aimed to verify how Westcon ensures the necessary competence of inspectors within the enterprise of competence who are assigned tasks within the petroleum activities.

Result
No non-conformities were identified during the audit, but we observed two factors that we have chosen to categorise as improvement points. These concerned:

• Internal requirements
• Competence

What happens now?
We have asked Westcon to give us their assessment of the improvement points observed by 14 October 2024.
