Saipem – Scarabeo 8 – electrical installations, safety instrumented systems and technical safety

The audit was conducted from 30 September to 3 October 2025.

Objective

The objective of the audit was to verify how Saipem complies with regulatory requirements for barrier management within the domains of electrical installations, safety instrumented systems and technical safety, and to monitor how Saipem has followed up previously identified non-conformities within the topics of this audit.

Result

We identified seven non-conformities during the audit. These concerned:

  • Missing ignition source decoupling of non EX-rated equipment on deck.
  • Deficiencies in fire dampers, fire walls and fire doors
  • Governing documents not updated
  • Lack of activities for monitoring performance and technical condition
  • Lack of follow-up of portable EX-equipment
  • Lack of documentation of selectivity for emergency circuits
  • Lack of measures for avoiding hazards and accidents when working in electrical installations

What happens next?

We have asked Saipem to report to us by 15 November 2025 on how the identified non-conformities will be addressed.
