Dialogue - 50 years of safety

In 2022, it is 50 years since the Storting voted to establish the NPD and gave it responsibility for safety and resource management on the NCS. Eighteen years ago, it was split in two, with safety transferred to a new authority – the PSA. This issue of Dialogue celebrates the 50th anniversary with some stories from the decades which have passed since the oil prospectors arrived in the 1960s. Norway’s oil history is also the story of how the Norwegian safety regime came to be – of regulations and accidents, supervision and successes, of the Norwegian model, and of trust and responsibility.
