Abstract
The Committee for the Review of Helicopter Safety on the Norwegian Continental Shelf was appointed by the Ministry of Transport and Communication in 2001. The results were presented in a Public Report (NOU) in September 2002 [NOU2002: 17 Helikoptersikkerheten på norsk kontinentalsokkel]. Among other things, the report gave some recommendations regarding helicopter maintenance. These were further developed by a later appointed Committee for Helicopter Safety on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, and the latter asked SINTEF to further evaluate the recommendations in a project by e.g. performing a brainstorming meeting with major stakeholders in helicopter manufacturing, operation and statutory regulation. The present report describes the process carried out, and the results of the brainstorming sessions. In addition, SINTEF has evaluated the outcome and suggested which further actions should be given highest priority, based on an evaluation of the scope, cost/benefit relationship and feasibility of the proposals.
