In brief

Fewer injuries and safer operations demonstrate the impact of systematic HSE work and a shared ambition of zero injuries.

In 2025, Abyss reduced the number of lost-time injuries by 60 per cent and achieved its target of zero groundings. Behind the figures lies daily effort from employees and managers.

Focused efforts deliver results

The culture is built on starting every day at zero, with the ambition of ending it at zero. Risks must be identified and hazardous conditions eliminated before they develop further.

HSE – a shared responsibility

HSE is a management responsibility, but also a responsibility for every individual. A safe working environment is maintained only when the whole team takes responsibility together.

Risks and incidents are opportunities to learn

Near misses are a reminder of narrow margins and the need to report, learn and improve. HSE is a continuous process.

The way forward

Priorities include systematic risk management, open reporting, training, clear leadership, follow-up after incidents and compliance with procedures.

Abyss employees

The aim is zero injuries every day, through taking responsibility for our own safety and that of our colleagues.
