The department of Safety Research has a strong focus on barrier management through several projects for the Petroleum Safety Authority and companies in the oil and gas industry. We have solid competence in most aspects of risk and safety, enabling us to establish the link between the assessment of risk and the identification of barriers. The department is highly multidisciplinary, allowing us to address the crucial interplay between operational, organizational and technical barrier elements. We have also worked extensively with the follow-up of safety systems in operation.
