Health and Safety Where and why is the topic material? It is Vår Energi’s expressed goal to carry out our activities without causing harm to people or the environment. Vår Energi uses measurement indicators to monitor and learn from experiences in our operations to achieve transparency in the way we work. Promoting a good working environment and HSE culture is at the core of Vår Energi’s operations, and it is therefore an integral part of the company’s total management system. Our strategy incorporates “nobody gets hurt” as key priority, ensuring the health and safety of our employees and contractors. The main objective in all business activities is to be the safest operator on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS).
