In the winter of 2013 Shell and Aibel established a dedicated HSE centre in Haugesund. Since then, almost 900 offshore workers have undergone training at the centre.

“Everyone leaving to work on Draugen for the first time has to visit the HSE centre. Here, offshore workers receive training that is tailored for the conditions on the platform. They learn what they need to know to work safely,” says Arild Hansen of Aibel. He is head of the HSE centre.

Learn to work together

The centre has been named HSE Centre of Excellence. It was established in March last year. The goal is to raise the awareness of HSE of everyone working on Draugen.

“We organize two-day courses. On the first day we review requirements and expectations from Shell and Aibel. Day two is of a more practical nature. Participants are given a review of tools and equipment, and learn to work safely across disciplines,” Hansen explains.
