Vår Energi – Balder FPU – emergency preparedness

The audit was conducted from 2 to 6 February 2026.

Objective

The objective of the audit was to verify the processes and systems designed to ensure comprehensive emergency preparedness management.

Result

The audit identified seven non-conformities in the following areas:

• Deficiencies in the maintenance of emergency-response equipment
• Responsible person for communication systems
• Lack of training and expertise in handling certain hazard and accident situations
• Failure to update drawings
• Missing arrangements for rapid and efficient evacuation
• Deficiencies at fire stations
• Incompatible emergency preparedness tasks

We also observed one factor that we have chosen to categorise as an improvement point. This concerned:

• Inadequate follow-up of the system for emergency preparedness training

What happens now?

We have asked Vår Energi to report to us by 31 August 2026 on how the non-conformities will be addressed, and to give us their assessment of the improvement point observed.
