Have your say: NOPSEMA's new approach to inspections

The public comment period on NOPSEMA's draft Inspection policy has been extended to Tuesday, 9 November. 

From 1 January 2022, NOPSEMA is adopting a new approach to its inspections, striking a balance between regular inspections of all activities and the need to focus on higher risk activities with a greater likelihood of non-compliance.

The draft Inspection policy sets out a baseline, or minimum frequency for inspections. It also lists a variety of risk-factors that will drive more frequent inspections, such as the complexity of the activity and the stage of life of the asset.

NOPSEMA invites industry to provide comment on this policy by no later than COB Tuesday, 9 November. Please submit all comments to NOPSEMA through our consultation hub. 

NOPSEMA will consider all feedback provided during the public comment period and, where necessary, contact stakeholders for further clarification. All personal information will be managed in accordance with NOPSEMA's Privacy Policy.
