Update: 2025-11-19
Description
Equinors internal investigation reveals gas venting from monoethylene glycol tanks at Hammerfest LNG plant as cause of worker exposure incidents. Thirty-seven workers sought medical attention due to symptoms like headaches, nausea, and dizziness. Despite concerns, Equinor believes long-term health issues unlikely. The report highlights gaps in early identification and follow-up, insufficient risk assessments, and poor coordination between teams. New measures include temporary filtration equipment, enhanced monitoring, regular gas sampling, updated safety briefings, and a new local health office.
